Glastonbury

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - BBC Web (2013x112)

: 26, 2013

Latest album Push The Sky Away was released earlier this year, marking the fifteenth studio album from these Aussie alt-rock behemoths. Founded 30 years ago in 1983 from the ashes of The Birthday Party, the band has gone on to gain much praise for their sombre, visceral narratives on love and death including a memorable collaboration with the queen of pop Kylie Minogue on Where The Wild Roses Grow. In recent years Grinderman has recieved much acclaim, featuring many original members of the band chasing a more guitar-led sound to carry Cave's rich and foreboding baritone. Coming through a life of rock excess to become a superstar resident of Brighton. Cave enthralls with his steady stream of apocalyptic hits as well as employing his majestic talent in books and film scripts such as last year's Lawless. This is a man who needs to be heard and is sure to hold Glastonbury in raptures.
