Grinderman is a Australian garage rock band formed by Nick Cave (vocals, electric guitar, organ, piano), Warren Ellis (electric bouzouki, Fendocastor, violin, viola, acoustic guitar, backing vocals), Martyn P. Casey (bass, acoustic guitar, backing vocals) and Jim Sclavunos (drums, percussion, backing vocals), all of whom are members of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
After heavy touring throughout 2005 with The Bad Seeds in support of Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus, Cave began writing songs on guitar, an instrument he’d rarely played. His rudimentary playing gave the new material a rawer feel than much of the Bad Seeds’ output. The group entered the Metropolis Studios in London to record the original Grinderman demos and it was this material that would eventually become the basis for the band’s debut album Grinderman. The album was recorded with long-time friend, producer Nick Launay in April at the RAK studios, London and mixed in October at the Metropolis Studios.
Grinderman was released in March 2007 and was applauded by critics for its raw power, similar to that of Cave’s celebrated post-punk project The Birthday Party. The band made their live debut at the All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in Somerset the following month. This was followed by a one-off show at The Forum in London on 20 June. “No Pussy Blues”, was released as a single on 19 February, “Get It On” was released as a single on 8 January 2007.

The first Grinderman album was great. The last Bad Seeds album was great too, but it was kinda similar to Grinderman, musically speaking. I hope the new one is a little different.

At the BFI Southbank event on 17th July, Nick confirmed that the second Grinderman album has now been recorded and is scheduled for release in early 2010. Apparently, 'It is the greatest fucking record ever recorded!'
