So a short synopsis of the evening - - - at the last moment, my friend was offered two tix to see this one. i was down, especially down for the opener - grinderman. Yes yes, grinderman. everything worked out especially well this evening considering we were stuck in the nosebleeds and wound up on the right side of the stage a couple of sections up. it was overwhelming enough being on an escalator, crunched in a crowd and high, hearing the wonderfully driven sounds of Nick Cave belting it out on stage with fellow seed members. knowing there was some settling for us to do before comfort came- the rush was on. as much as i try and stay away from the arena shows, i forgave msg for delivering appropriate volume even with its imperfections. grinderman ripped it up, guitar waling and spewing a noise that no avid lover of dirty rock music can deny. a jarring effect indeed for any fan of the birthday party. Nick pounding on the keys, drums staggering in the foreground and guitar notes just making raunchy sense. I’d never seen him or his band live and so I was a virgin rookie at his command. I can go ahead and name each song and why it was so penetrating, but you had to be there. Following them of course was jack and meg… not so shabby either. He knows what he’s doing up there and he fed into an arena type expression without caring too much- but it’s a big gig without a doubt. He definitely tore his ax up a bit with meg following his lead. At moments she was slouching right into her set, beating the drums like they’d beat her to death… but she kept up. I like his bluesy(ness). He gels it well with that static rock thing… i especially fell into that encore like a drinker would gin. Now it’s all a blackout or sort of in my head and my friend is head over heals for the boy in red black and white. i can’t blame her.
