Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds dropped by The Anthem recently, and the guys demonstrated some impressive artistic chops. But what struck this first-time Cave concertgoer most? Nick Cave proved an utterly gracious and pleasant gent during his live performance.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds recently released a live EP — Distant Sky – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Live in Copenhagen. The band took that EP from their celebrated live tour in 2017, and thankfully they are touring again right now with a stop at The Anthem on Thursday, Oct. 25.
They Might Be Giants perform at 9:30 Club on April 14, 2018.
The delightfully unpredictable They Might Be Giants jammed the night away at 9:30 Club on Saturday, spotlighting a cool new record but also leaping fearlessly across time and space when moved to do so.
In short, John Flansburgh (“Flans”) and John Linnell (“John”) enjoyed themselves immensely, and they took a very packed, sold-out 9:30 Club along for the ride.

They Might Be Giants released I Like Fun, their 20th studio album, on Jan. 19 via Idlewild. TMGB have undertaken an extensive North American tour, and they arrive at 9:30 Club for a sold-out show on Saturday, April 14.
