Everything changed once they added Rowland Howard.

He was born with a suit. Great singer writer

30 years being a disciple of all things Cave and I've never seen this. Insane.

Me too! I can barely believe it. They sound a bit like the Boomtown Rats here, or somebody like that. Just very stolid punk. And then two years later they were...The Birthday Party! Singin' "Release the Bats"! Pretty hard to believe.

"Churning bacchanal of chaos" - I've never heard The Birthday Party described more succinctly, it may not be possible to. The magic moment for me was Rowland S Howard's permanent guitar scream at the beginning of 'The Friend Catcher'

Amber X, you sound like a woman after my own heart! I think you're SO right about Rowland S. Howard's guitar in "The Friend Catcher"; it really was a magic moment.

How cute is this. Nick a boy with style and intensity - always...

Baby Tracey perfecting his hip thrust!

Little did they know that things would get pretty fucking dark very fucking quickly.

This man is just as great and intense at 62 as he was in The Boys Next Door and just as smoldering, even the suit. The talent was there even then he's a performer. Those eyes OMG I think his eyeliner is pretty damn good too. He had the drive even then.

This is such a proto-Goth gem. It's these sorts of videos that really showcase the point in time where Goth was beginning to spawn from Punk. Nick Cave was such a babe in this video. I am in love with how simple (according to Goth standards) yet incredibly Gothy his look is.

This reminds me of The Cure covering Foxy Lady on their debut album.

Nick Cave was always a kind of mod punk. This video proves it.

The difference in Nick’s vocals here and in The Birthday Party are obviously due to some influence from Mark Stewart.

he performed this live on Australian tv in 1978 on the Hey Hey Its Saturday Morning show.

oh my...a treasure

I saw the Birthday Party in Glasgow back in the 80’s, and some clown was yanking on Tracy Pew’s guitar lead…so Tracy just booted the donkey right in the teeth! There’s was blood everywhere! Lol! I watched all of this from the balcony…a grandstand view you might say! It was ace!

Rowland made the band play this song, before he formally joined...he was a massive fan of Lee Hazelwood. They did a lot of covers in the early days, all kinds of stuff. So good live.

I really wish they were next door lol

Adorable.

all about the drummer's shirt

Tracey Pew was just seconds away from flailing his head as far back as he could without falling over, but the song finished and cut to red. @1:37 Tracey Pew, the man with the rage in his eyes. A mean bass player and huge presence. How could Nick ever have failed? Tracey, Mick, Rowland(I know he's not in this clip) were very important to THE BIRTHDAY PARTY. MONTSTEROUS.

Tracy’s epic stare at 1:37

To be fair this was early days, they were so young and just making a name for themselves. Doing a cover was a way to get themselves noticed and it got them on a mix album Lethal Weapon with the Suicide label. Roland was certainly influential but things changed because they gained experience and the confidence to experiment more.

This cover is gonna be my next obsession I love it as much as the original plus it’s punk.

Well, all things considered, the introduction of Rowland S. Howard and heroin into the mix could be only described as extremely beneficial......

happy 65 Nick ;-)

I may or may not have called this "stolid" on first listen, but I take it back now. Even though it isn't NEARLY as good as the stuff Cave would go on to do with The Birthday Party (let alone the Bad Seeds!) it can't be called stolid. It's a neat little rave-up; a good silly cover of a silly old song. I like it.

Can anyone name anyone else who has been so good for so long?
