grind on!

I’ve been a Nick Cave fan for 20+ years, and I finally got a chance to see him play again (the first time was 1989 in Los Angeles) with his new band Grinderman @ the Great American Music Hall. The show was sold out long ago but my source came through. (SKP!) I hadn’t heard much from his new band, but it’s Nick. They could have played cards and it would have been great.

They played a grungy, dirty, bluesy, hairy, sweaty, loud set and came back two encores playing Bad Seeds songs. Extra special bonus : Blixa Bargeld singing ‘The Weeping Song’.

So good.
