Variously described as a maverick, a prolific songwriter and an idiosyncratic genius, Nick Cave is undoubtedly one of the world’s most enduring performers. With his band, The Bad Seeds, which formed after the break-up of Australian post-punk legends The Birthday Party in 1983, he visits the region this month in support of new album Wild God.
“I never think about how a record is going to go live,” says Nick. “It never, ever occurs to me. The lyric-writing process is way too hard to take ideas like that into consideration. But, when I listen to Wild God now, I think we can really do something epic with these songs live. We’re really excited about that; the record just feels like it was made for the stage.”
