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.

Agreed tomorrowsparty, the article also seemed like Crawford had set out with an agenda and tried to tailor fit evidence to it (As with the reference to AtAStA)

That was a bad article and the bit on Bunny Monroe can pretty much be summed up with 'CAVE IS WRITING ABOUT A MYSOGYNIST SO HE MUST BE ONE HIMSELF I HAVE NO CONCEPTION OF THE NARRATOR/AUTHOR DIVISION.' A bit tiresome.

Anyone read OVERLAND #197 "THE MONARCH OF MIDDLEBROW" Anwyn Crawford on the deplorable career of Nick Cave. One of the most interesting essay on him. Check it out here: http://web.overland.org.au/?page_id=1925

"wasnt the same after kicking heroin" Indeed not but I actually like those later records even more than the early stuff. Not that the early stuff isn't great too but in a different manner. The Lyre of Orpheus/Abattoir Blues is one of my favorite albums ever.
