Wow. One of those countless bands I have heard of and always wanted to check out, but never have for whatever reason. I've been using this website lately that recommends a different album every day and today it recommended Murder Ballads. It doesn't happen often, but this is one of those "how have I not listened to this before" moments. I've just looked at how much music they have out and I'm excited to jump in.
edit: a few people have asked, you can find the website I use for daily album recommendations over on r/1001AlbumsGenerator. Highly recommended if you're getting a bit bored with your usual bubble of go-to artists as I was.
I'll submit: Up Jumped the Devil, Red Right Hand and Stagger Lee. I'm just sitting around playing bass today and hoped to find some material to work on. Thanks folks!
There is a famous, hilarious quote from Nick Cave talking about the RHCP.
“I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.’”
"The Guardian" quoted him on it in 2006, claiming he said this 2 years ago. Does anyone know where he said this? I couldn't find the orgin of this.

Came across this band called Tropical F*ck Storm on Spotify, and I thoroughly recommend, especially for Bad Seeds fans.
I’d love to hear your recommendations as well, particularly for lesser known bands. rubber bullies
Does anybody know what Nick Cave's singing style is? or just signature stuff he does to make himself sound good.
I've never really been much of fan of the stuff he's put out solo/with The Bad Seeds BUT, I do really like The Birthday Party & Grinderman a lot. I'm trying to square this liking with all of the stuff he's done in between. I wholeheartedly appreciate him as an artist and have a lot of respect for him.
Can you recommend any other albums I might like based on the above? Manic, energetic rather than dark, piano ballads.

... keep reading on reddit ➡While I love his voice, I wouldn't be fast on the jump to say that Nick Cave has a great 'singing voice', per say. However, where he shines like gold is in his piano writing. The simple, slow arpeggios in songs like As I Sat Sadly by Her Side, Jubilee Street, and Idiot Prayer (not really arpeggios here, but still) are earworm food if I've ever heard of such a thing. Damn... they just sink their catchy (but not cheesy) hooks into you and don't let go.
The only other artist/band that comes to mind when I think 'melody' is Pain of Salvation. Daniel and those guys can write a damn fine piece of music.
Am newly interested in exploring Nick Cave’s music. Where do I start? Appreciate your recommendations.
The Carnage Packages are insanely expensive (I think I saw $350+) for seats and a signed poster. This, opposed to just a few years ago you could get a front row seat to see him at one of these venues for around $150. And most of the items on Cave Things, frankly, are overpriced crap. It's weird that he's seemed so more honest and vulnerable through the Red Hand Files, but has also raised the bar -- almost outrageously so -- financially for so many seeking out either his live shows or memorabilia.

Basically rock songs that start calm and simple, but descends to utter chaos by the end.
Today, Nell & The Flaming Lips share a video for “Red Right Hand” from their album of Nick Cave covers, Where the Viaduct Looms, out now via Bella Union. The video features a live performance from Nell and the Lips of which Nells says: “I really loved working on these live videos, shooting this was the first time I had the opportunity to actually play music with the Lips as we recorded the whole album remotely. Performing live gives the whole thing more energy and I can’t wait to do more.”
Where the Viaduct Looms comprises nine Nick Cave cover versions with vocals and instrumentation by 14-year-old Nell Smith and instrumentation and production by The Flaming Lips. The album was mastered by Dave Fridmann at Tarbox Road Studios. Nell and the Lips have previously shared videos for 'Girl In Amber', 'The Ship Song' and 'No More Shall We Part
I am fully aware that this post makes me sound like a pick me girl, but here it goes.
I've been a Nick Cave fan since my early teens (I am now in my early 20s), and I have never really encountered another genuine Nick Cave fan that is near my age range. Most people I meet have never heard of him, some are vaguely aware of his existence, some recognize him from the Peaky Blinders theme song but never bothered to listen to any more of his music. A few of my existing friends have sort of started to become interested in him due to my encouragement, but they're not particularly invested.
If you are fortunate enough to have friends that are really into Nick Cave, where did you meet them? (Pandemic permitting) I am going to my first Nick Cave concert this winter, so theoretically I could make some Nick Cave friends there. Realistically, though, I don't know if I would be brave enough to just start chatting with strangers at a concert.
Never have I ever heard a more poetic song about murder. The arrangement & the lyrics. WOW.

Kings Theatre in NYC jumped the gun and deleted the announcement, but Nick & Warren are playing there on March 24th and 25th. No word yet on other dates.
Hoping for a Washington DC date as well, ideally at Lincoln Theatre.
Earlier this summer I asked my younger brother (who is a HUGE fan of Nick Cave) where he thought I should start if I wanted to get into Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and he came back the next day with this strategy guide written up for me lol. He was tailoring it to what he thought I'd like specifically, but I thought this community might get a kick out of it too and that anyone else looking to get into his music might find a good place to start :) So far Abattoir Blues and Let Love in have been my favorites!

Gothic/Southern Gothic-Heavy (More Palatable)
- Let Love In
- Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!
- Henry's Dream
- Murder Ballads
Goth/Southern Gothic That You Should Probably Avoid Until You're More Bought-in to Nick Cave's Whole Deal
- Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus
- Tender Prey
- Your Funeral...My Trial
- Pretty much any album pre-1990
More Accessible Albums/Autumn Vibes, But Not In The Sort of Frantic Halloween Goblin Way of the Other Stuff (more for 1st two here)
- No More Shall We Part
- The Boatman's Call
- The Good Son
--> Also, there's Nocturama, which fits more w/ this category, but it's honestly not my favorite, so I was kind of hesitant to lump it in. Some good songs, but overall kind of lackluster, in my opinion.
Sadder/More Atmospheric
- Push the Sky Away
- Idiot Prayer <- (This is a live album)
- Skeleton Tree
- Ghosteen
- CARNAGE <- Not the Bad Seeds; Nick Cave + Warren Ellis
Also - Live Albums
- Universally, pretty good" ]

Take a little walk to the edge of town And go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms Like a bird of doom As it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires In the humming wires Hey man, you know You're never coming back Past the square, past the bridge Past the mills, past the stacks On a gathering storm Comes a tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with A red right hand
He'll wrap you in his arms Tell you that you've been a good boy He'll rekindle all the dreams It took you a lifetime to destroy He'll reach deep into the hole Heal your shrinking soul But there won't be a single thing that you can do He's a god, he's a man He's a ghost, he's a guru They're whispering his name Through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat Is a red right hand
You don't have no money? He'll get you some You don't have no car? He'll get you one You don't have no self-respect You feel like an insect Well don't you worry buddy 'Cause here he comes Through the ghettos and the barrio And the Bowery and the slum A shadow is cast wherever he stands Stacks of green paper in his Red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares You'll see him in your dreams He'll appear out of nowhere but He ain't what he seems You'll see him in your head On the TV screen Hey buddy, I'm warning You to turn it off He's a ghost, he's a god He's a man, he's a guru You're one microscopic cog In his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by His red right hand
Hey I just listened to Carnage by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis and I loved it. I'm not familiar with Nick Cave's discocageaphy and I Hope you guys Can guve me some songs to start my new music journée.
