Cave is an Australian musician, singer-songwriter, author, screenwriter, composer and occasional actor, best known for fronting the rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Cave’s music is generally characterized by emotional intensity, a wide variety of influences, and lyrical obsessions with death, religion, love and violence.
Born and raised in rural Victoria, Cave studied art before fronting the Birthday Party, one of Melbourne’s leading post-punk bands, in the late 1970s. They relocated to London in 1980, but, disillusioned by life there, evolved towards a darker, more challenging sound, and acquired a reputation as “the most violent live band in the world”. The Birthday Party is regarded as a major influence on gothic rock, and Cave, with his shock of black hair and pale, emaciated look, became an unwilling poster boy for the genre.
Soon after the band’s break-up in 1983, Cave formed Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Much of the band’s early material was set in a mythic American Deep South, drawing on spirituals and Delta blues, while Cave’s preoccupation with Old Testament notions of good versus evil culminated in what has been called his signature song, “The Mercy Seat” (1988).
Cave co-wrote, scored and starred in the 1988 Australian prison film Ghosts… of the Civil Dead (1988), directed by John Hillcoat. He also wrote the screenplay for Hillcoat’s bushranger film The Proposition (2005), and composed the soundtrack with frequent collaborator Warren Ellis. The pair’s film score credits include The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), The Road (2009), Lawless (2012), and Hell or High Water (2016).
Nick Cave’s top songs: “Deanna”, “Red Right Hand”, “Straight To You”, “Tupelo”, “Nobody’s Baby Now”, “Stranger Than Kindness”, “Into My Arms”, “(Are You) The One That I’ve Been Waiting For?”, “The Carny”, “Do You Love Me?”, “The Mercy Seat”, “The Weeping Song”, “From Her To Eternity” and “Where The Wild Roses Grow”.
Cave’s songs have been covered by a wide range of artists, including Johnny Cash (“The Mercy Seat”), Metallica (“Loverman”) and Arctic Monkeys (“Red Right Hand”). He was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007, and named an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2017.
