Johnston, Ian (Ian Robert). Bad Seed : The Biography of Nick Cave, London : Little, Brown, 1995.This 344 page chronicle is fun to read, well researched, befittingly dark, gripping, and seedy, yet perfectly paced. Mick Harvey as well as a lot of other close members give insight and direct quotes into Nick and the band which makes the book feel real and engaging. Although this biography only covers the time up until the release of Let Love In, the freelance music and film writer Ian Johnston does a great job revealing the inside story of this maverick Australian post-punk songwriter—it presents a timeline of Cave’s staggering body of work, balancing with heroin, riots, fights, electrocutions, stolen cars, and exploded cars. A must-have biography for Cave’s fans.
