Straight To You: triple j’s Tribute To Nick Cave 2CD Album + DVD Details

As part of Ausmusic month in November last year, triple j announced a run of Nick Cave tribute concerts, which had some of Australia’s best talent covering songs from Birthday Party, Boys Next Door, The Bad Seeds and Grinderman. The concert series, named Straight To You, will now be released as a 2CD album of the live recordings, and DVD of the concert as well.

Some of the musicans who took taking part in the show included, Abbe May, Adalita, Alex Burnett (Sparkadia), Ben Corbett (SixFtHick), Bertie Blackman, Dan Sultan, Jake Stone (Bluejuice), Johnny Mackay (Children Collide), Kram (Spiderbait), Lanie Lane, Lisa Mitchell, Muscles, Tim Rogers (You Am I) and Urthboy (The Herd).

“Cave is undeniably one of the true greats of music. Starting with Boys Next Door and then The Birthday Party, he’s gone on to make 14 albums with The Bad Seeds and two more with Grinderman. He has been both incredibly prolific and consistently brilliant. Recurring appearances in Hottest 100’s speak volumes of Nick Cave’s relevancy to new generations of music fans.” – triple j’s Richard Kingsmill

The 2CD of live recordings will be available on February 10th. The DVD of the concert will be available on March 2nd. The full show will also be broadcast on ABC2 TV and triple j radio, 26th January.
