Take Photos for Grinderman

Grinderman are offering budding photographers access-all-areas passes to their upcoming Big Day Out sideshows thanks to a very cool competition.

If you want to win one, simply show the band you’re worthy by sending a link to on online portfolio of your work to grindermanphotocontest@gmail.com. Make sure you include the show you’d like to capture in the subject line, and your full name and mobile phone number in the e-mail’s body.

You’ll need to be quick though, especially if you’re in Melbourne. Entries close 48 hours before each show. As a reminder, Nick Cave’s crew will play The Palace in Melbourne on January 17 and 18, Brisbane’s Tivoli on January 24, and The Enmore in Sydney on January 28. Good luck!

Nick Cave Delivers Second Serve of Grinderman

Nick Cave is preparing to unveil his second album with Grinderman this September.

Not so originally titled Grinderman 2, it sees Nick reunite with Warren Wllis, Martyn Casey, and Jim Sclavunos for another serve of dirty garage rock. Acclaimed producer Nick Launay twiddled the knobs for the album which was recorded at London’s RAK, State of the Ark, and Assault and Battery studios.

To celebrate the release Grinderman will tour around the United Kingdom and Europe throughout September and October. Hopefully we’ll see some Aussie dates to follow.

Nick Cave Announces October Tour

Nick Cave fans are in for a real treat this October. Australia’s Prince of Darkness will return home for a double-header tour, which fittingly kicks off in Melbourne on Friday the 13th.

Nick will perform solo and Bad Seeds hits behind a grand piano during the first half of the concerts.

In the second, he’ll introduce his homeland to his new blues rock outfit, Grinderman. The band is a star-studded affair, featuring The Dirty Three’s Warren Ellis, ex-Triffid Martyn Casey, and The Vanity Set’s Jim Sclavunos.

Grinderman has already wowed crowds in London, and are set to do the same when they hit America later in the month. Tickets to the Australian shows are on sale tomorrow.
