Grinderman, the hard-rocking, sleazy alter-ego of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, have released details of their highly anticipated second album as well as news of a short string of UK shows.
Nick Cave is probably the only guy who can still make the thinning hair and moustache combo look cool and with the announcement of a second Grinderman on the way, a chance to see such hair and moustache combo in live action shouldn’t be far away.
To coincide with the release of the new album, entitled ‘Grinderman2’, Nick Cave and Co will play five dates in England and Scotland to showcase the new material on the second record which is set for release on 13th September.
Grinderman’s Warren Ellis spoke about the new material, telling Quietus website that the new album is very different from 2008’s first Grinderman offering.
"It’s kind of like stoner rock meets Sly Stone via Amon Duul. It’s very diverse, and there’s a lot fos tuff on there that doesn’t sound like anything we’ve done before. Nick’s got a different thing going on with the lyrics than he would have from the Bad Seeds, and he’s found a new thing from the first album. Less sex? I wouldn’t say that. It’s psychedelic, and I think it’s great. We’re really excited about it."
Grinderman will play the following UK dates:
September 2010
25th Rock City, Nottingham
27th Leeds University
28th Barrowlands, Glasgow
29th Academy, Manchester
