Nick Cave

Nick Cave is a talented rock musician, writer and poet, screenwriter and music writer for many famous films, leader of the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds group.

Nicholas Edward Cave was born in September 1957 in the Australian city of Warrachnabile. In addition to Nick, in the family of library employee Dawn Treadwell and English teacher Colin Frank Cave, three more children grew up: sons Tim and Peter and daughter Julie.

Nick Cave's musical ability showed up early. After high school, the young man entered an art college, where he met like-minded Mick Harvey, without whom not a single project of the star could do in the future.

In the late 1970s, Cave and Harvey formed a band called Boys Next Door. The team existed for several years, but by 1980 it broke up. He was succeeded by Nick and Mick to create a new group called "The Birthday Party". But this collective also turned out to be short-lived: in 1983, after touring European countries, the musicians parted.

In the early 1980s, Nick Cave met the leader of the German band, Blixa Bargeld. The Australian singer liked Blixa's work so much that he invited the German to play together. Bargeld agreed. This collaboration lasted nearly 20 years.

In 1984, Cave's renewed group, named "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds" (unlike previous projects, it still exists today), presented fans with their debut album "From Her To Eternity". The disc received critical acclaim and was warmly received by the band's fans. Eight years later, the band recorded a stellar disc called "Henry's Dream". The authoritative British tabloid "Melody Maker" recognized this album as the best in the work of Nick Cave and even gave it 7th place in the list of the best discs of 1992.

In the mid and late 1990s, the creative biography of Nick Cave and the band was enriched with two more albums "Let Love In", which included the tracks "Red Right Hand", "Do You Love Me?", "Loverman" and "Murder Ballads" with songs Song of Joy, Stagger Lee. Fans of "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds" consider the compositions included in these discs to be the best in Cave's work.

The end of the century was marked in his creative career by the recording of two more albums - "The Boatman's Call", which took 26th place in the list of "100 best Australian albums", and the live album "Live at the Royal Albert Hall". In 2001, after two years of creative research, Cave released the disc "No More Shall We Part". In 2003, the video for Nick Cave's song "Bring It On" was very popular.

In 2013, Nick Cave's fans hailed the 15th album "Push the Sky Away". Shortly before its release, Mick Harvey left the team, with whom Nick Cave had walked hand in hand for 30 years. In 2015, the track "All The Gold In California" was included in the soundtrack album of the second season of the cult American TV series "True Detective". In addition to Cave, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Lera Lynn participated in the recording of the music for the film.

Based on Cave's plots, the films "The Drunkest District in the World", "The Death of Bunny Munroe", "The Raven", "Ghosts of Civil Death" were filmed.

For a long time, Nick Cave's personal life was associated with Anita Lane, a member of the group he leads "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds". The girl was called Nick's muse. But after 10 years, the young people broke up.

In 1991, Nick Cave became a father twice: a journalist from Brazil, Vivienne Carneiro, gave birth to one son to the musician, and his compatriot Bo Lazenby gave the second. But the musician did not want to associate life with any of the named women for a long time. The romance with P.J. Harvey, a member of his group in the 1990s, was also short.

Nick Cave's personal life has entered a constant stream after meeting with the English fashion model Susie Beek. They met in 1997, and got married in 1999. In this marriage, twin boys Arthur and Earl were born.
