Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds come to Glasgow Performing tracks from their latest album Push the Sky Away, as well as hits from their 15-album back catalogue, the band are here to remind Glasgow why we love them. We rounded up five fast facts on Mr Cave and his seeds ahead of the gig: Nick's first band was a 1970s post-punk group called The Birthday Party, formed with his school friend Mick Harvey. The band had previously been called The Boys Next Door. Between "95 and "97, Nick owned a cafe called Portobello Cafe with Michael Hutchence, the singer of band INXS. The cafe closed shortly after Hutchence's death. In 1996, Nick was nominated for Best Male Artist at the MTV music awards. Nick wrote MTV a letter thanking them for their support, but asking for the nomination and any future nominations to be withdrawn. In the letter he asked that future awards or nominations "be presented to those who feel more comfortable with the competitive nature of these award ceremonies" and stated "I have always been of the opinon that my music is unique and individual and exists byond the realms inhabited by those who would reduce things to mere measuring." He added the surreal paragraph: "My muse is not a horse and I am in no horse race and if indeed she was, still I would not harness her to this tumbrel - this bloody cart of severed heads and glittering prizes." The song "People Ain't No Good" featured in animated flick Shrek 2 and American drama series The L Word. He starred in, and composed music for, 1988 movie 'Ghosts....of the Civil Dead'. The film is set in a prison in the middle of the desert. Lucky enough to be seeing Nick Cave live? Tweet your pics and thoughts to @STVGlasgow
