TWO DARK CLASSICS! GRINDERMAN 1 & 2 [2007 + 2010]| URBANASPIRINES

Grinderman 2007 + 2010 - URBANASPIRINES




After Nick Cave’s heartfelt and staggering performance of Rainy Night In Soho for Shane MacGowan’s funeral last week comes this timely look at the two Grinderman productions!

Well done Kostas (as ever) and I love the Antipodean wunderkind maestro of the darker side. Like he needed another band apart from the Bad Seeds to fully express himself! Stuck sending tapes he formed a band to revisit working upon songs with a live band and HEY PRESTO!

This will do it!



Grinderman was an Australian-American rock band that formed in London, England, in 2006. 

The band included Nick Cave (vocals, guitar, organ, piano), Warren Ellis (tenor guitar, electric mandolin, violin, viola, guitar, backing vocals), Martyn P. Casey (bass, guitar, backing vocals) and Jim Sclavunos (drums, percussion, backing vocals).
