Grinderman (Nick Cave & Warren Ellis) "Grinderman (Self-Titled)" bluesgrass only to return three daysGrinderman came to be when Nick Cave was writing material in 2005 for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album Abattoir Blues The Lyre of Orpheus. Teaming up with band members Martyn Casey (bass), Warren Ellis (violin, guitar) and Jim Sclavunos (drums), the group went into a London studio in 2006 and began a marathon session of writing material aiming to recreate the more raw, primal sound like that of Cave's celebrated post punk project The Birthday Party.
