General Interest Prayers on Fire Having relocated, after one album, from their native Australia to England, The Birthday Party proved too much even for a post-punk London scene greedy for novelty. Led by drawn, gangling vocalist Nick Cave and addled, introspective guitarist Roland S. Howard, they set about provoking their audience with a brutal mix of rabid psychobilly, country blues and an ear-splitting mess of near-industrial percussion. Prayers On Fire (its title neatly capturing Cave's onstage persona--a hell-spawned and gothic Deep South preacherman) was as incendiary as the band's gigs. Though an aggravating shambles, it was hypnotically intense, featuring such deliberately barbarous live favourites as "Zoo Music Girl" and "Nick The Stripper", and also "King Ink", later the title of one of Cave's books. Poetic, violent and clearly drug fuelled, even today it explains the furore that led The Birthday Party to quickly move on to Berlin, then split altogether. --Dominic Wills Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
