NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS, HOLLYWOOD BOWL, LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 17, 2008
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds kick ass. That's just all there is to that. All my cellphone videos of the show are marred by my booty-shaking during Nick rockin' out gothic hits "Deanna," "The Mercy Seat," and "Stagger Lee," then singing along in off-key intoxication to "The Ship Song" and "Into My Arms." Here's a still instead:
This man is as old as my 'rents but he kicks it harder than popular twentysomething bands out there now. As William Miller from Almost Famous might say, he's incendiary. Don't believe me? Read reviews of the show here and here.
Though Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have been around since the dawn of Time (OK, 1983), I am a huge fan of Cave's 90's period. Here is a video from the album Let Love In (1994):
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - "Do You Love Me?"
And another from Murder Ballads (1996):
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - "Henry Lee" featuring Polly Jean Harvey
P.S. Hey film fans: Nick Cave wrote a great film set in the 19th century Australian outback called The Proposition. This film is criminally overlooked, though everyone I worked with at the Arclight loved it when we screened it for like a week. You will love it too:
The Proposition (2006)
