Nick Cave is a dirty SOB. Forget manners, romance and hand-holding. With Grinderman, Cave's ongoing project from 2007, He makes a horny, foul-mouthed, and unabashed 53 year old something any pretty boy is secretly wishing he was.
A pretty boy he's not, and Grinderman certainly doesn't strive to make pretty music. Rather, it's a complete assault on the eardrums. It's raw, nasty, and chaotic.
With only 2 discs released, I certainly hope Cave and his crew don't slow down (and after seeing them live last week, it looks like they won't be).
Also, it looks like Cave won't be softening up anytime soon. The older he gets, the louder he wants it.
Check out this video of his song "No Pussy Blues" from their first disc. When asked what it was about in an interview, he looked confused, and responded "it's about not getting any pussy."
Being old and dirty has never been so appealing.
This is clearly coming from the heart.
