nick cave is very well known.

you sound like a moron.

I didn't say he wasn't well known, I was saying he isn't popular because he is barely played or talked about.

Also there was no reason for name calling, faggot.

So much for discussion.

I saw him a few years ago in Brooklyn, outdoor concert. It was very cool. His fans aren't terribly obnoxious or extroverted (outside of one guy who kept screaming for them to play Up Jumped the Devil), so it's no surprise that you don't hear about him in passing.

Meh, not that anon but you honestly should have been expecting that. You only really have yourself to blame.

Keep an eye on stubhub or the event page on facebook, there's a chance you could get a ticket for a reasonable price.

It's definitely worth it for Nick Cave, I've seen over 400 shows and he's easily in the top 5, possibly even the best show I've ever seen.

To answer your question, I've never really had this happen to me but I did notice this smaller local venue in my piece of shit Midwest city has sold out shows for Pinegrove, PWR BTTM, Sorority Noise, and PUP all months in advance. I didn't realize those acts were that popular but I guess there's a scene for that music in NE Ohio

nick cave is considered on the level of lou reed, david bowie, prince, joni mitchell, tom waits, bruce springsteen, leonard cohen, kate bush and bob dylan as one of the greatest songwriters of the last century. he is wildly famous.
if you don't know that, you are probably under 20. which is fine. you're not an idiot, you should just maybe do some research before asking an insane question like this.

>wildly famous

Eh... not in the U.S. at least. He isn't unheard of, but he's more niche. He never had a charting single here, closest thing was probably People Ain't No Good being in the Shrek 2 soundtrack, and the first album that truly sold respectably in U.S. stores was Push the Sky Away.

Comparing his popularity level to Bowie, Prince, Bruce, or Dylan is hyperbole at any level.

At a 'The Magnetic Field' show right now and im absolutely bored to tears. Ive never been a huge fan but I like their music a bit and this show is garbage. He's set up a mock children's room like he's some sort of manchild. There is no live drummer and the music all feels super muted. Worst of all he's got this pseudo depression tone the whole time and the audience keeps laughing at it. It's only been 10 minutes but I'm considering walking out right now. Worst show ive ever been to. 55 bucks down the fucking drain.

I bought tickets to one of the Berkeley shows in like October and one of the days was already sold out I'm pretty sure but I got some for the other day

Shows over and by far it was the most pretentious thing I've ever seen. Jesus christ this man should kill himself. 0/10
