Australia (1984 – present)
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds was originally formed in 1984 by two former members of the Australian band The Birthday Party: Nick Cave (vocals, songwriter, keyboards, harmonica) and multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey. They were joined by Einstürzende Neubauten member Blixa Bargeld (guitar), Hugo Race (guitar), and former Magazine member Barry Adamson (bass, piano). Cave’s former girlfriend Anita Lane was also a creative influence and occasional lyricist. This line-up recorded their debut album, From Her To Eternity, released in 1984. During their initial Australian tour, Birthday Party bass guitarist Tracy Pew also performed with the band.
The name of the new project indicated the shift in Cave’s role from band member, as in The Birthday Party, to band leader, and coincided with his shift in songwriting style from expressionism to detailed lyrical narrative. The group has been through many personnel changes, with Cave and Harvey remaining the constants.
Cave separated from Lane in the mid-1980s and began a relationship with Elisabeth Recker. While in Berlin, he released four albums with the Bad Seeds: The Firstborn Is Dead; Kicking Against the Pricks; Your Funeral… My Trial; and Tender Prey. Kicking Against the Pricks was the first album to feature the drumming of Swiss Thomas Wydler, who is the longest serving member in the band beside Cave and Mick Harvey.
In 1987, the Bad Seeds made an appearance in the Wim Wenders film, Wings of Desire. In 1990, the band collectively eliminated hard drugs from its diet, relocated to Brazil, and released The Good Son. Their next record, 1992’s Henry’s Dream, was the first to feature current members Martyn P. Casey and Conway Savage. Following it came 1994’s Let Love In.

Yeah, only if you have the auto-correct spelling ON. Not everyone does, and maybe kiwibeard doesn't. I know I have 10 scrobbles of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds that never got redirected.

Actually, '&' gets redirected to 'and'.

Doesn't really matter, tho to some it does. If you play both the 'and' and '&' Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, then it will count as 2 different artists. So, you may just want to choose one and edit plays on your music player appropriately. Since Nick Cave AND the Bad Seeds has more plays and listeners, maybe choose that one.

I am a bit torn to the moustache. It was ugly (not a bit fan of facial hair) and made him look like a creepy serial killer.. but.. I mean.. It's Nick Cave.. that, if anything, is a suiting look for him.
