In an unfortunate piece of news, Mick Harvey, multi-instrumentalist, producer and all around awesome musician for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds is leaving the band, citing a variety of personal and artistic reasons. Harvey was the only remaining original member of the Bad Seeds besides Cave himself. He was also a member of Cave’s first two bands, the Birthday Party and the Boys Next Door. I’m very sad that a mainstay in one of my most beloved bands is leaving.
Harvey filled many rolls for the Bad Seeds, initially being drafted in as a drummer before switching to guitar. In his honor, here's a clip of one of my favorite Bad Seeds song, "Tupelo". Harvey is playing drums.
Keep on rockin’, Mick.
