I found out one day late...I have been keeping a close eye on this for months. Ryan and I love this Band. We love Nick Cave. His lyrics are amazing...his voice is divine...so deep and dark. His stage presence has floored us. Five years ago Ryan and I were graced by his presence...we waited standing for hours on Mission Street before the doors opened at the Warfield Theatre...we saw a few of the band mates as they arrived to rehearse or setup...I can tell you how Nick smelled that night in San Francisco and at one point his sweat dripped onto my arm...at one point Nick was crouched down next to me and Ryan...I touch his shoes a few times...that is how close we were to him that one night in SF. I cried along with a young goth girl standing behind me during the song "into my arms". Please watch this to listen to this lovely song...
This was definitely one of our TOP CONCERTS ever. My memories are still very vivid.
So on Friday we got tickets for the Portland Sept 22 show...I'm excited to see Nora, Megan and Doug...they too are big fans and will be attending with us.
We also planned on buying tickets for Seattle...the show was originally set for only Sept 23. I got on ticketmaster.com only a few minutes after the start of the sale...and THEY SOLD OUT. My heart sank. Ryan got on his laptop and found out that they added a show on Sept 24...WE GOT tickets for that show...I'm super happy.
I have said...for years...if Nick Cave comes again to the US...we are going to several states to see him...and for now we plan on ALSO getting tickets for SF...again at the Warfield. Tickets are not on sale yet...i'm desperately waiting for the "go on sale" date...hopefully we can get some tickets.
Wish me luck as we try to be traveling groupies...I'm SERIOUS folks..THIS IS BIG...REALLY BIG....imagine me here in the crowd...
Watch this new video...
I love this video...look for Jarvis Cocker dancing in the fog...

Yeah, Nick Cave is definitely one of the huge greats. And you got to touch his shoes and feel his sweat!!! I love that song Into My Arms, too, so beautiful.
And the new vid there was great, I love Nick's range of styles.
Jarvis, too -- how many guys can be totally sexy and cool with greasy hair, glasses and a green velvet suit on?
