Grinderman ‎– Grinderman

Grinderman came to be when Nick Cave was writing material in 2004 for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’
album Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus. Teaming up with band members Martyn Casey on bass,
Warren Ellis on violin and guitar, and Jim Sclavunos on drums and working up songs as a group, the
band went into a studio in London in 2006 and began a marathon session of writing and demoing
material. Aiming to recreate the more raw, primal sound like that of Cave's celebrated post-punk
project The Birthday Party, Grinderman's lyrical and musical content diverged significantly from Nick
Cave's previous work with The Bad Seeds. 
 
The following April, they took the cream of these new songs and recorded an album with the help of
long-time friend and producer Nick Launay. Released on the 5th March 2007, their 11-song
debut album Grinderman was universally acclaimed by critics and features the singles "No Pussy
Blues“ and “Get It On”. The quartet reconvened in 2009 to record Grinderman 2, which was released
in 2010. In December of 2011, Cave announced the band's breakup at a music festival in Australia.
