Flew from San Diego when Grinderman canceled here to see them at the Warfield- so glad I did. This show took me to realms of happiness and bliss rarely experienced, totally lost in the pure brilliance, and such a wonderful escape from the mundaneness of work, normal life. It was way too loud so the guitars were distorted but the energy and showmanship were out of this world. Been a Nick Cave fan forever but really enjoyed watching Ellis as well and their interaction. I didn't think it was possible for me to more passionate about Nick Cave than I already was, but after this concert I literally smiled for days-I LOOOVE Grinderman and if I had the money I'd just follow them around and watch them live over and over and over.
From the start to the finish Nick and his gang were relentless. They played almost every song on the two albums. Really loud show. Great energy. Five song encore! You must see this band!
The warm-up guy was kind of sucky but once Grinderman was on the stage it was incredible! Nick poured his heart into the performance as well as the others! As cheap as the tickets were I would go see these guys once a month if I could. DO NOT MISS THEM if they come to your area. I drove a little over 200 miles to see them. I rocked on their CD's all the way home! I am a new fan. Didn't even know who they were 3 weeks ago. I am also 50 years young! Fantastic show and the Warfield is an exceptional peice of artwork in its own right.
Grinderman was fantastic. The band was relentless on stage and took no prisoners. It was one hell of a performance.
Insanely brilliant. Pure bliss. Nick Cave is genius.
Show was phenomenal from start to finish. The energy in the room was intoxicating, primal, & steaming hot. Nick Cave & Warren Ellis are clearly 2 of the greatest showmen of this era. I brought a friend with me who was not familiar with either Grinderman or Bad Seeds music, and she left the show in awe & jazzed to explore the albums. Thanks Guys for a bad ass performance!
Grinderman is sweet live. Their energy is damn near superhuman. Warren flails around like a man possessed, Nick Cave commands the stage with the fervor of a devil preacher, Martyn looks like some kind of werewolf, and Jim wails on the drums with ridiculous tenacity. Combine this with the excellent sound of the Music Box. Win.
Grinderman is Nick Cave and members of the Bad Seeds, but make no mistake, this is not a Bad Seeds show. Where the Bad Seeds are sweeping, melodic, and beautiful, Grinderman is loud, harsh, and pulls no punches. They may look like they're a bit past it, but they're amazing, and they've got absolutely nothing to prove to the likes of you anyway! The band walked on stage carrying cups of hot tea, and promptly launched into some of the most hardcore, earnest noise out there today. They're nothing short of amazing in concert, it's like going to a Nick Cave show twenty years ago, if he'd had all the wisdom and heart back then that he does now. Totally A+
I am a Nick Cave follower and have long supported his work but this concert was not enjoyable at all. The sound was a blur, the music was distorted, all words disappeared, any musical finesse died. Sorry, but if the system doesn't support your music, get a new one!!
