Grinderman Sydney headline gig

Mon 17th Oct, 2011 in Local News

Grinderman are coming back to their homeland this December to dance wildly under a lunar eclipse at Meredith Music Festival and, no doubt, scare the living hell out of Eskimo Joe fans at Homebake.

Back in August St Nick and co also announced sideshow gigs Adelaide and Perth
and now they’ve added a very special Sydney gig to the tour.

Grinderman were last on our shores to steal the show at the Big Day Out and throw down the mantle for gig of the year: “In terms of live performances it’ll be impressive if anyone this year can beat the conviction and intensity that Grinderman brought to the stage. They were all that live music should be – visceral, emotional and transportive.”

Grinderman

January 28th, 2011

Enmore Theatre, Sydney

Grinderman Meredith/Homebake sideshows:

Thursday 1st December – The Factory Sydney
Monday 5th December – Metropolis, Fremantle
Thursday 8th Decmber – HQ, Adelaide

Nobody has hearted this, be the first!

Do you actually know someone with a ticket? I can't find anyone.

over the past few days both this and the grinderman headline show stuck up the sold out signs.

Guys, I didn't get a ticket to see Grinderman at the factory. It's on the Thursday before my birthday. If I don't go I will be guaranteed to have the worst 21st ever so anyone know who I need to suck off at century venues to get a ticket?

Whoa Grinderman did sell out quick! Glad I got some of that action.

Homebake is still on sale though. It has to be! I am the only person in Sydney that is attending

Girlfriend and I are going, and there's a few people randomly saying "woo going to homebake" or something along those lines over the past couple months. Should be a great day!

p1owz0r said on the 2nd Dec, 2011

No, he's right, they didn't play The Pussy Blues because it doesn't exist.

One of my personal highlights of the show was No Pussy Blues.

hawaiian_cher said on the 2nd Dec, 2011

OMGZ were u guys even there? You guys don't know anything about Grinder Man. Idiots

hawaiian_cher said on the 2nd Dec, 2011

Look, I don't mean to get all holier than thou on you guys, but I've been a Nick Cave fan since the fucking Tea Party days and the first Grinder Man album has some of my favourite songs that he has written (besides Stagger Lee and Shivers of course), so don't tell me about Grinder Man. And also, I know it's 'No Pussy Blues', I spelled it wrong. Give me a break.

Maybe I should check his band out...

I love it how they've gone to the trouble to put the myspace and soundcloud address and then got to the facebook address and thought fuck it, too much effort

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 2nd Dec, 2011

This is outstanding. Not many people are that aggressively dumb. Cher is putting in a lot of effort.

hawaiian_cher said on the 2nd Dec, 2011

You guys dont know. And its not my band. Its a band I was promoting. Them ungrateful fucks.

You said you've liked Nick Cave since The Tea Party.

He came out at about 12:30, greeted all the fans waiting and took pics with us all. He kissed one of my friends about five times when he saw her. Lucky bitch, but reasonable considering she's blonde and hot.

i just saw nick on the street (at the intercontinental), i thanked him for the show and he said my pleasure. i am stoked

ThatDude123

ThatDude123 said on the 2nd Dec, 2011

Supposedly early yesterday he walked into Kinokuniya, signed every copy of his books, placed them back on the shelves and left. No one noticed until a fan flipped through one of the books a few hours later.
