Mick Harvey, one of the founder members of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, announces he is leaving:

"For a variety of personal and professional reasons I have chosen to discontinue my ongoing involvement with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. After 25 years I feel I am leaving the band as it experiences one of its many peaks; in very healthy condition, and with fantastic prospects for the future. I'm confident Nick will continue to be a creative force and that this is the right time to pass on my artistic and managerial role to what has become a tremendous group of people who can support him in his endeavours both musically and organizationally. It was a fantastic experience to finish my touring days in the band with the recent shows in Australia and the unique events that took place in conjunction with All Tomorrow's Parties, especially Mt. Buller, which was one of the many highlights of my involvement with the band throughout the years. I shall continue working on the Bad Seeds back catalogue re-issues project over the coming year and look forward to the new opportunities I shall be able to accommodate as a result of my changed circumstances."

Mick Harvey, 22nd January 2009

Well, I hope he doesn't disappear from the radar completely.

I've since read that there are rumours that the Bad Seeds have split.

Just so you know I will be closing the Forum subject [s]Order Of Post Idea[/s] Lime Tree Arbour as it seems to be heading in a direction that neither myself or the bunnymen want to have discussed on a public forum about [s]Echo & The Bunnymen[/s] Lime Tree Arbour.

The decision has been made by the powers above me.

Oops - thought this was the Exploding Hearts thread.

Saint gone to Seeds
Patrick Donovan

ED KUEPPER has replaced Mick Harvey as guitarist in Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. "The Seeds thing should be a ball — I am really looking forward to it," the guitar slinger told Sticky. Kuepper, who played an integral role in the recent Bad Seeds-curated All Tomorrow's Parties festival with the Saints and the Laughing Clowns, will join the band soon for some European festivals. After releasing 20-odd solo albums, was he enjoying the camaraderie of playing in the Saints and the Laughing Clowns over summer? "I see what you mean regarding bands versus solo, but in my case — perhaps oddly — it didn't feel that different.

So is he a big fan of the Seeds?

"To me the Bad Seeds are a band that have always been great, but the albums from the last few years are particular favourites." Is he intimidated about filling Mick Harvey's shoes? "Mick and I are fairly different in approach, I guess, and they'll be difficult shoes to fill, for sure. I just hope the people on my side of the stage don't turn their backs in protest."

After 25 years with the Bad Seeds, Harvey left the band in January citing "a variety of personal and professional reasons". The Laughing Clowns play the Forum Theatre as part of the Melbourne Jazz Festival on May 1.
