Somebody knock that kid out (as an aside, the printing on his jumper is of very poor quality, looks like one of the ones that get sold off tarps outside arena show).

On a similar note to the above (not the kid, the PTSA discussion), I really don't like the song Push the Sky Away and am always surprised at the love it gets on here, along with the desire for it to be played live. I can't even remember what it was like live when I saw him. The album on the whole is good but I just don't like that song at all.

Skeleton Tree, however, is all banger no clanger.

I thought it was brill at Glastonbury, really atmospheric.

agreed re: PTSA. Great live. Had my reservations about it until they played it at Glasto and then was totally converted. I'd always been a passing fan so to speak, but ever since G been obsessed!

[TomViolence]

Fully agree with everything said above.  PTSA is a good album but it really really came alive for me when I saw most of it at Open'er '13 (possibly '14, can't remember)

I'm also with Mardy on Skeleton Tree. I think I need to give it a few more listens as I'm certainly in the minority!

Did you see the film? Just wondering if that makes a difference, as for me the film did add something. Talking about his voice, the words, the writing process etc. Plus it's a great film anyway. anyone with even a passing interest in Nick Cave should see it.

Ah fair enough, I'll give it a go this week!

I already  had this as my album of 2016 but I lost a family member today so it's all been given new meaning, just wanted to bump this thread if anything because I think Skeleton Tree is such a beautiful experience everyone should experience it multiple times even if it is really hard at parts.

 

Yes I am pretty drunk and I'll probably cringe seeing this tomorrow but apparently one of my ways of dealing with grief is posting on an Internet site in the early hours. Sorry if it's inappropriate  ahah...

 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sorry for your loss, bud.

[Homer]

Totally appropriate - hope you are okay. X

Just spotted a poster in Glasgow

Awesome stuff just in time for what will be my only paypacket of the next five weeks :S (Please be less than £50)

[scaryclaireyfairy]

Depending on dates, this could give us actual hope of Nick Cave in the traditional 'Nick Cave slot' right?  That'd be awesome.  Nick Cave before Ed Sheeran would be amazing scenes.

He's playing in America over Glastonbury weekend so won't be there sadly

Could this just be an advert for the blu-ray/dvd out on the 3rd March?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Well, that was a bit of a rollercoaster - from tour imminent to just DVD advertising in 0 to 60. What I would say is that poster doesn't look much like the promotional campaign for the film release.

If they do squeeze in some UK dates, it'll have to be Feb, March, April or early May I guess. Otherwise we're looking at other end of the US tour ie. ages away. Not much time to promote and sell tickets - not that I think they'll have much of a problem doing that.

[Jobseeker]

Oh lawd! How hard is it to get bad seeds tickets normally? I don't think I could bear to miss this, especially without the safety net of a Glastonbury appearance.

I've never found it particularly difficult to get Bad Seeds tickets for a normal gig (as opposed to a special one-off or a fanclub gig or something). I think the price tends to put people off as they're usually at least £50, as discussed above.

Ah that's good, I have been jittery about not getting these after the disaster for me that was the RTJ Roundhouse sale. £50 is definitely justifiable, I have never seen the big man before, ST is my album of the year, + stagger lee live.

itll either be early may or october now i reckon.

Who on earth wishes for less than fifty pounds in their paypacket? :-) 

Yes, that came out wrong, didn't it? 

Can anyone remember the price brackets for The Bad Seeds shows? I know the solo started around 65, which is... a bit steep.

[DownboundTrain52]

In terms of dates, Twitter seems to believe that The Bad Seeds are playing Ejekt Festival in Eastern Europe (Greece I think) around late July. In addition, they've been confirmed for Israel.

So, we're probably looking at a two month jaunt across Europe - July and August? I'd wager UK dates to fall mid August then.

Hope it isn't a tour announcement I'm poor.
