Jim Sclavunos+Nick Cave+Warren Ellis+Martyn Casey = Grinderman.
 

Whoa.
The tune they have posted is fucking amazing.
Wait for it.....

anything that nick cave does is pretty great. (this is for hip priest,)

IF you ask me.

sounds quite good, can't wait to hear the full album.

Wow. I think it's nearly perfect. I had no idea of Grinderman.

Cool

Aaaagh! I can't listen to this track at home because my internet connection is sooooo slow, and I can't listen at work because myspace is blocked.

The band is the band that Nick tours with for his "solo" gigs, and is brilliant for that, but I get the impression that Grinderman is much more "rock" than that.

It's great, and noisy as fuck.
And Sclavunos is a awesome drummer. I saw him play with Cave in January and realised how good his work is on Confusion Is Sex. Intense

this is sweet, and great line up - mpc / we / js / nc .... can't wait for an album

I've had like 5 different people give me this link...and I like that because it gives me an excuse to listen to it again and again...

wow, surprisingly good!
the first great nick cave song in 5 years or so?
i'll keep an eye on this, thanks.

it's still no birthday party, though, hope the album is better than this song.

yeah, it's no birthday party... but it's 2006 now.
at least it's a lot better than anything on his last two albums.

amen, bro; that's why i'm somewhat excited.

I'm a bit slow off the mark. But what a great song!

Great track...


Do you know if this is the band he will be playing with at the dirty three ATP?

Grinderman are definitely playing at next Spring's ATP. If there's a Nick Cave solo show, it will almost certainly be the same band. I'm not going, so if it turns out to totally solo, just Nick and a piano, I shall spend much of May crying because I missed it.

how comes you aren't going?
i'm sadly missing nightmare before christmas because i couldn't get a chalet of people together....

Choug Chough*link*CHOUGHHHHH!!!

Holy shit. Fucking excellent, what a combo too.

you star nicfit :)
