Grinderman 2 Debuts In American Top 40
American audiences appear to be once again hungering for some dangerous primordial rock and roll. How else to explain the fervor greeting the recent release of Grinderman 2 which, in its first week out, landed in the Top 40 making it the highest charting work from visionary crooner Nick Cave. The album features Cave working alongside longtime cohorts Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey and Jim Sclavunos. It is rock and roll from grown men who have lived - a work of sublime sonic adventurousness.
Grinderman will be taking their electrifying live show on the road when they embark on a North American tour this fall beginning November 11th.
