Nick Cave & Warren Ellis in Oakland
Nick Cave
Described by Cave as "an exercise in connectivity", no subject is sacred and audiences are encouraged to be bold and challenging, confrontational and unafraid.
The relationship between Cave and his audience has always been open and intense, but deepened during his re-cent shows with the Bad Seeds, inspiring these unconventional and unique evenings of unfiltered, unscripted and unmoderated Q&A.
"I thought that a direct conversation with the audience might be valuable - in the recent live shows we have all shown a kind of willingness to open up." - Nick Cave
"Between stark, gorgeous performances of key songs like 'Skeleton Tree', 'The Mercy Seat' and 'God Is In The House', Cave was wry, genial and funny as hell." - Billboard
"This is a striking turnaround when you're used to seeing icons in all their bombast and mythos. Here, you are getting them unmediated by journalists, you are getting them in an unfiltered and unedited form, you are get-ting them in a human state without the guise of stardom in full-force." - Stereogum
"Watching a legend in command of an audience, never quite knowing what would happen next, was a genuine thrill." - Sydney Morning Herald
"...tonight's not about being right. It's about being present, knowable, vulnerable and real. And funny. Always that." - The Guardian
"A complete dismantling of the barriers put in place thanks to his often mysterious image... Nick Cave's intimate Conversations show is bold, enlightening and completely gripping." - ABC
