I've been a big fan of Nick Cave since his first band The Birthday Party 30 years ago. Very talented man. Has published 2 novels and done film scripts(The Proposition, Wettest County in the World)and film scores(Assassination of Jesse James, The Road). Unfortunately Grinderman(actually a side project from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, his main gig)didn't play Detroit this tour.

I caught Grinderman at the House of Blues in Boston back in November. Such an AMAZING show!

I especially love his covers of Leonard Cohen songs.
I guess Detroit is an easy city to skip with Chicago and Cleveland.
