One of the most influential and most inventive rock bands of our time, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are returning to Budapest in 2018! They will bring back their ever-evolving rock music to Papp Laszlo Budapest Sportarena on 21 June.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nick Cave is a Bad Seed. That\u2019s a simple statement but one often ignored. In the standard nomenclature of rock\u2019n\u2019roll, where acts are classified front man\/ backing band, preconceived notions of importance are inherent. It\u2019s easy to focus on Cave and ignore the fact that in the studio and, most obviously, on stage he stands shoulder to shoulder with a group of musicians who combine to create something beyond that which is achievable for each alone. It\u2019s what Burroughs and Gysin referred to as The Third Mind:<\/p>\n

\u201cwhen you put two minds together, there is always a third mind\u2026 a superior mind\u2026 an unseen collaborator\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This fusion of minds in the collaborative practises of the Bad Seeds has seen them develop into one of the most exciting, volatile and influential group of musicians of the past 30 years.<\/p>\n

The Bad Seeds were formed in 1983 after Cave\u2019s previous group, The Birthday Party, disintegrated during one final fractious recording session in Berlin. Freed from the constraints of what had been a traditional, if extraordinary, rock\u2019n\u2019roll band Cave assembled a new group of visionary musicians in order to push at the boundaries of contemporary rock music.<\/p>\n

The 1980s incarnations of the Bad Seeds were made up of a cosmopolitan group of international musicians. Each were innovative and individualistic musicians though the criteria for becoming a Bad Seed was less virtuoso musicianship and more an inherent aesthetic that manifested itself in their louche demeanour, their apparent couldn\u2019t-give-a-fuck attitude and, for some members, their ability to live on a Berlin diet of amphetamines and heroin.<\/p>\n
