Grinderman return to Ireland

Messrs. Cave, Ellis, Casey and Sclavunos reconvene in June for visits to Vicar St., Dublin (18) and Live At The Marquee, Cork (20). Tickets for both are €49.20 and go on sale on Friday February 4.
More akin to Cave’s first band, The Birthday Party, than they are the Bad Seeds, the quartet release a new single, ‘Palaces Of Montezuma’, on March 11 that’s culled from last year’s Grinderman 2 album.
Meanwhile, old Nick has been offered driving training as an alternative to prosecution after crashing into a speed camera in Brighton. The Australian and his twin 10-year-olds sons who were also in the vehicle escaped uninjured.
