Nick Cave and Warren Ellis announce new live album, Australian Carnage
Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have announced a new live album. On August 25, they’ll release Australian Carnage—Live at the Sydney Opera House. The album captures performances recorded at the Sydney Opera House in December of 2022, with a set comprising material from their 2021 album Carnage, as well as the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album Ghosteen, a T. Rex cover, and more. Hear a live performance of “Balcony Man” below.
Cave said in a statement, “Touring Australia with Warren after so much time away was one of the highlights of recent years. Every show was moving and unforgettable, from the intimacy of playing in theatres and arts centres, to the vast and uplifting nights at Hanging Rock, through to our final three nights at the inimitable Sydney Opera House. We are excited to share these recordings, made at the Sydney Opera House, and hope they capture even a tenth of the collective elation we felt at those shows. We’ll never forget them.”
