Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T. is de beste van Neubauten IMO, nog niet live gezien overigens, alleen maar goede recensies erover gelezen, zou ze wel eens willen zien. Ik verwacht dat het iets zoals het Faust optreden in Antwerpen zal zijn, podium dat net een bouwwerf lijkt.
Anyway:
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS NEWS
GINDERMAN
Foul-mouthed, noisy, hairy, and damn well old enough to know better, Grinderman are Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey and Jim Sclavunos.
Born of babbling lyrics hatched from Bosch eggshells in the Hyde-bound apocalyptic margins of the Cave brain, the Grinderman sound is an instinctual yawlp that also resurrects the demons of each musician's past: the trashcan proselytising of Birthday Party-era Nick; Sclavunos' late 70s New York no-wave noise wisdom; Martyn Casey's ominous Triffids bass reverb; plus Ellis' avant-garde soundtrack work and his teenage love of Black Sabbath. Destination: Out!
Warren: "It was meant to be really open liberating thing, push those elements where we'd normally say 'I don't know about that' and push on, relentless."
Nick: "We're just searching for a bit of freedom"
Jim: "Ceaselessly banging away."
Warren: "Having Nick on the guitar changed the whole dynamic of the thing and threw us into a much more rudimentary ballpark."
Martyn: "It wasn't consciously two fingers to maturity but I remember thinking, all the way through, 'This isn't bad for a bunch of old farts.'"

Grinderman sound different from everyone, including themselves. As Memphis Slim put it back in 1941, "While everything is quiet and easy/ Mr. Grinder can have his way." It's a new day. God help you all.

En nog een zeer interessante quote:
Nick Cave and the other three members of Grinderman played in Nürnberg yesterday. Great! Nick performed his old songs in new "Grinderman" versions and they were really loud, powerful, angry, and a bit mad. Big entertainment!
