Nick Cave is 57 years old today. Cave is an Australian musician, songwriter, author, screenwriter, composer and occasional film actor. He is best known for his work as a frontman of the critically acclaimed rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, established in 1983, a group known for its eclectic influences and musical styles. Before that, he had fronted the group, The Birthday Party, in the early 1980s, a band renowned for its highly gothic, challenging lyrics and violent sound influenced by free jazz, blues and post-punk. In 2006, he formed the garage rock band, Grinderman, that released its debut the following year. Caves music is generally characterized by emotional intensity, a wide variety of influences, and lyrical obsessions with religion, death, love and violence. Upon Caves induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame, ARIA Awards committee chairman Ed St John said, “Nick Cave has enjoyed — and continues to enjoy — one of the most extraordinary careers in the annals of popular music. He is an Australian artist like Sidney Nolan is an Australian artist — beyond comparison, beyond genre, beyond dispute. Here, Cave performs Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne.”
