Whenever I get frustrated with contemporary music or need an inspiration re-fuel, I return to The Birthday Party. Thank you! This is the best.

Always a pleasure. If I had even half his genius, I'd still be a nobody in the music world.

Fuckin awesome . This was me in our no name band, south of Market Street in SF. Whacked on speed. Nick Cave was one of our heroes. Iggy Pop was our American equivalent.

@kevin652010 I just found it. I get drunk and rock BP on a regular basis. Headsets and full volume required ;)

As great as this is, it's not the same Birthday Party without Tracy Pew's throbbing bass. And that is one fuckin' lucky girl.
