Mick Harvey was the modest organisational and musical pillar who recently announced his departure from the group he helped form over 25 years ago, for “a variety of personal and professional reasons”. They could never be called a normal group and, through different line-ups over the last 25 years, always sound like no-one else but The Bad Seeds. His legend and profile sometimes overshadow the musicians who grasp his visions and bring them into reality: The Bad Seeds are both gang and gentlemen’s club, qualifying for membership by being able to plug into the supernatural chemistry which rumbled menacingly into life on the first track of the first album (a cover of Leonard Cohen’s Avalanche). Nick Cave’s ascent to his current iconic status and unparalled creativity aboard a roller-coaster of drugs, chaos and, finally, domestic stability, is well documented.
