Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds performing at Rock en Seine
Those who were lucky enough to attend Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ monumental show at Rock en Seine in 2022 still talk about it as if it were yesterday – the thrills still intact. A cataclysmic live band, this troupe of seasoned musicians (including Warren Ellis, an outstanding violinist) have become true experts in the art of captivating audiences, a skill they have honed over the years since the 1980s. In this whirlwind of jagged riffs and raw emotions, one great man (in every sense of the word) commands attention: Australian Nick Cave, His Majesty of Darkness, chief ‘Bad Seed’, songwriter and singer who excels as much in earth-shattering rock as in moments of sobering calm. ‘Do you love me?’ he asks in one song. The answer is yes.
