About: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Fronted by Nick Cave since their Melbourne beginnings in 1983, the Bad Seeds have spent four decades reshaping rock's darker edges - from the ferocity of their early post-punk through to the expansive, choir-driven sound of Wild God. Their live shows, running close to two and a half hours, draw on the full breadth of that catalogue.
