Biography
Australia (2005 – 2011)
Grinderman was an 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 in support of Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus, Cave began writing songs on guitar, an instrument he rarely played. His rudimentary playing gave the new material a rawer feel than much of The Bad Seeds’ output. The group entered 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 self-titled debut album, which was recorded with long-time friend, producer Nick Launay, in April 2006 at RAK studios, London and mixed in October at 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, United Kingdom the following month. This was followed by a one-off show at The Forum in London on 20 June.
