Nick Cave's Story

Nick Cave's Story

Nick Cave is a prolific Australian musician with a fanbase spanning generations. Born in rural Victoria in 1957, Cave first made his mark with his 70’s post-punk band, The Birthday Party. A cult following quickly grew after the band moved to London and eventually Berlin. Crowds could not get enough of Cave writhing and screaming onstage, spouting twisted tales of despair over bleak yet noisy guitars.

Nick Cave’s love for the written word started with his parents. His father was an English teacher, and his mother was a librarian. Nick wanted to be a writer before thinking about being a rock star. His first novel, And The Ass Saw The Angel, is a torturous journey of a young mute boy. He also wrote the screenplays for the 1995 film The Proposition and 2012’s Lawless.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds will be touring Europe and The US starting in the summer of 2022.
