It will come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I’m a little fond of Nick Cave. The darker and grumpier he is the more I love him, naturally. Over the years of seeing him every summer, I’ve battled numerous security nuffnuffs at various venues to gain the freedom to mosh at his feet – pulling ears and tossing sunglasses into the distance to acheive this – and any of my Patsyfox students could attest to the fact that he and I look great as a couple – they’ve had to endure my lap-top screen saver of the photo of us together, arm in arm, I kid you not. So why hasn’t he seen the light yet and left that pesky model wife and hooked up with me?! I despair.
Never one to give up easily though, I’ll be giving him one more chance tonight at the Grinderman gig at The Palace. Come on Nicky, let’s grind.

Proud to say I’m an alumni of Nick’s high school! (But then so is Christopher Skase 🙁 )

Well at least the alumni are colourful! I’d be happy for the Nick connection : ).
Happy New Year by the way!

Will be doing my very best. Red dress? I already have the black hair after all?

how was the gig? I actually sent a message on the NIck Cave Website to say that you did this sketch and I forwarded your blog details. I wonder if he saw it?

OOH legend! Well I felt I could have done better but hey, first time drawing his face etc. Gig was fabulous – got completely mashed in the mosh at the foot of the stage, within hands reach of his jewels ; ) He actually spat in my eye while singing so we are pretty much genetically joined now and I will never wash that eye again. Ever.
But seriously, crowd got feral – since when did Grinderman have so many pissed bogan fans???
Most broad audience base I’ve ever seen though – 18-60s, hilarious.
Though I came away with a few bruises, I love him still : )
