THE BAD SEEDS

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Tupelo



I don't know if it's the weather or the time of year, but I've been listening to a lot of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. All of the albums are terrific in their own right, and the live performances are a revelation, a bombastic revival with Cave leading the charge, stomping on stage, and hypnotizing all in attendance. Cave has a new album due March 3 - DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!!, and his March NY show is already sold out.

From the Bad Seeds website - "Nick Cave described the characters on DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!! as "asleep, unconscious, or dead." These video vignettes build on the theme with the band performing a seance. Cave worked with British visual artists and videographers Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard on the videos. The concept came out of a common interest in spiritualism and Houdini, the great debunker of fake mediums, who, according to Cave, "visited him in the form of a ghost while writing 'Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!"
