Nick Cave took part in an 'In Conversation' session covering his life and career earlier today (March 12) as part of the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
Speaking at the Austin Convention Center with New York based author Larry Ratso Sloman, the Bad Seeds frontman admitted that he first joined a band in order to get "girls and booze", telling the packed out audience that "it actually works!"
Nick Cave has spoken about reforming Grinderman in order to play the Coachella Valley Festival of Music and Arts in California this April.
Cave took to Twitter on Tuesday in order to answer questions from fans. When asked why Grinderman were getting back together after splitting in 2011, Cave responded: "Every other shitty band is doing it, why not someone who's actually good."
