Nick Cave was irrevocably shaped by his Anglican upbringing and literary background, with his parents an English teacher and a librarian, respectively. Cave has stood out throughout his career for his erudite approach to his creative works, whether they are via music, movies, poetry or the written word. His first musical foray came via The Boys Next Door, who he formed at high school in Melbourne with Mick Harvey. That band morphed into the combustible collective The Birthday Party, who blazed a trail from the inner suburbs of Melbourne to Berlin and London before self-destructing in 1983, leaving behind three albums. Cave, with Harvey, Barry Adamson from Magazine, Blixa Bargeld from Einsturzende Neubauten, Anita Lane, Edward Jones and Hugo Race formed the first line-up of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, who released their debut album, From Her to Eternity in 1984. Cave has traversed the globe throughout his career, with his diverse output reflecting his various travels and influences through novels, screen plays, lyrics, plays, movie soundtracks and acting performances amongst a string of Bad Seeds albums. Cave's film, The Proposition premiered in February, 2006, and the acclaim arising from that helped with funding for another, Death of a Ladies' Man. April, 2007 saw the release of Nick Cave's side project Grinderman's self-titled debut album. The band, comprising Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey and Jim Sclavunos was formed to resurrect the demons of each member's musical pasts. In October, 2007 Cave was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and was also featured in an exhibition an accompanying book, Nick Cave Stories, at the Arts Centre in Melbourne. The Bad Seed's 14th studio album, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! was released in 2008 to much critical acclaim, taking out the honours of Album of the Year in numerous polls both locally and internationally. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds were chosen to curate the inaugural Australian version of the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival that took place in January, 2009.
