They came to Cambridge, which was about an hour's train ride from where I was living at the time, and I had the job and therefore the money to pay the admittedly steep ticket price of £40, but I never did. Needless to say, it's one of the few genuine regrets I have that. Then again the gig was at the Corn Exchange, which is a really shitty little venue.

Unfortunate to hear that Bulldog. Even though a venue might be smaller sometimes I find it makes the atmosphere even better. I mean like a smaller, more intimate music session played to a select few. I guess it depends on who you want to go see for the type of venue really. Truthfully, though I know a lot of people enjoyed the first Grinderman album, I couldn't find anything I liked on it. I dunno whether it was just too 'out there' for me but I prefer the more haunting side of Nick Cave...
But that being said I love Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! - which i've been told by some that it sounds more like a Grinderman album without the obscenities?
