Cave started out as a humble farmer's son in the Australian Outback. As a young farmhand, Cave was responsible for sowing the fields. In 1928, after years of fruitless harvests, Cave asked his father, "Daddy, why isn't there food in the fields? Am I doing it wrong?" "No," his father replied, "these, son, are bad seeds." From that day forward, Cave developed an obsession with the phrase, not only naming his band 'The Bad Seeds', but also his testicles.

  • Cave started out as a humble farmer's son in the Australian Outback. As a young farmhand, Cave was responsible for sowing the fields. In 1928, after years of fruitless harvests, Cave asked his father, "Daddy, why isn't there food in the fields? Am I doing it wrong?" "No," his father replied, "these, son, are bad seeds." From that day forward, Cave developed an obsession with the phrase, not only naming his band 'The Bad Seeds', but also his testicles. In the early eighties Cave found himself and his disturbing love songs not being taken seriously enough in his native Australia so he moved to London, England. He soon became disenchanted with the scene when he found there were many other brooding and menacing men writing disturbing love songs so he moved to West Berlin in an effort to be more pretentious than the rest. He succeeded. In the early nineties he moved back to England because he believed the air to be more rarefied there, however to his displeasure he found it was, in fact, merely tinged with the aroma of diesel and relentless disappointment. In order to save face he successfully concealed his distress and he remains there to this day. Despite Cave’s inborn melancholy looks and his innate ability to write disturbing love songs, he is in fact known as music’s Mr Nice Guy and his nickname on the Bad Seeds tour bus is the Sunshine Kid. When not touring with the band, writing novels, screenplays and infamously disturbing love songs Cave often volunteers his time for local hospital radio and the Cats Protection League. When asked about his moustache, he denies that it contains magical powers. However, it is widely believed stroking the Cavetache will grant the fondler wishes. This is yet to be proven. Scientifically or ethically.
