Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is a Rock band with international personnel. HISTORY Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds was originally formed in (vocals, songwriter, keyboards, harmonica) and multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey . They were joined by Einstürzende Neubauten member Blixa Bargeld (guitar), Hugo Race (guitar), and former Magazine member Barry Adamson (bass, piano). With this line-up, the band recorded and released their debut album, '' From Her To Eternity '' (1984). The group has been through many personnel changes, with Cave and Harvey remaining the constants. During their initial Australian tour, Birthday Party Bass Guitar ist Tracy Pew also performed with the band. Critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and Steve Huey write, "With the Bad Seeds, Cave continued to explore his obsessions with religion, death, love, America, and violence with a bizarre, sometimes self-consciously eclectic hybrid of blues, gospel, rock, and arty post-punk, although in a more subdued fashion than his work with the Birthday Party." {Link without Title} LINE-UP The core foursome
