Mr.Soul Wrote:Yeah I get what you're saying. His very early work with The Birthday Party is extremely 'out there' :biggrin:. Dig Lazarus was a great album as is Murder Ballads but my favourite of his would have to be 'Henry's Dream'. If you haven't heard it check it out. Contains many of his best songs for me.
Also that's amazing you've seen him live so many times. I narrowly missed Grinderman at the Barrowlands recentley. Hope to catch him eventually!
i remember the first time i saw Birthday Party on our weekly music show 'countdown', the host Ian 'molly' meldrum said "this band is 20yrs ahead of his time"....in hindsight he was 100% correct about Nick Cave.
a note for Gryphon: Molly Meldrum was an employee at Apple Records, stayed friends with Bealtes,still is to this day, he went to John,Linda and Georges funerals,also has #9 of 'the white album.
