 On Sunday, October 11, 2009, Nick Cave and P.J. Harvey were unexpectedly reunited for an impromptu duet. The performance was prompted by a question-and-answer segment of Cave's Bunny Munro reading at London's Palace Theatre. While taking questions, an audience member asked Cave if, were she to be in the venue, he would consider performing with Harvey again.
Cave, previously unaware of Harvey's presence in a box seat, upon noticing her, stated that he would if she was also willing. He also added, "If it was the other way round, I'd be mortified." Harvey agreed to the duet, and the pair joined up for a rendition of their song from Murder Ballads, "Henry Lee". An audience member had remarked that perhaps "Fleeting Love" would be a more fitting song, to which Cave replied, "you're a funny cunt." During the night, website The Quietus also reported that Cave explained what happened to his mustache. "My wife found my stash of rohypnol, drugged me, and shaved it off." (www.thefirstpost.co.uk) |

 The Quietus reported on September 9th, 2009, that Grinderman's second album has been completed and will be released sometime next year. Warren Ellis spoke to The Quietus, explaining, "It's very different from Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! and it’s very different from the first Grinderman album. That was something we were very aware of, we didn’t want it to be like that at all. There’s an attitude in there that’s similar, but sonically it’s got some pretty weird things going on. It’s probably more fleshed out than the first one, we’ve probably learned to play the instruments a bit more. I play lots of stuff on there, there's violin on it, which I didn’t get in the other one, and a lot of backing vocals. "It’s kind of like stoner rock meets Sly Stone via Amon Duul. It’s very diverse, and there’s a lot of stuff on there that doesn’t sound like anything we’ve done before. Nick’s got a different thing going on with the lyrics than he would have from the Bad Seeds, and he’s found a new thing from the first album. Less sex? I wouldn’t say that. It’s psychedelic, and I think it’s great. We’re really excited about it." An album of soundtrack compositions created by Warren Ellis and Nick Cave, White Lunar, was released on September 21, 2009. http://thequietus.com/articles/02699-warren-ellis-talks-psychedelic-new-grinderman-album |
