In this clip from the documentary of Nick Cave's first major group the Birthday Party, we see the band play a NYC show so violent it was shut down.
, it’s sometimes easy to forget just how genuinely crazy the Birthday Party’s concerts were.
This clip, from the forthcoming documentary of the group, “Mutiny in Heaven: The Birthday Party,” should bring it all back and then some. In it, we hear guitarist Rowland S. Howard’s highly entertaining memories of the group’s U.S. tour, especially a gig at New York’s Ritz that became so aggressive and unhinged onstage that the club’s management shut it down, to the extreme displeasure of the audience.
“It was just great to have that feeling that you were capable of upsetting people so much,” Howard says in the clip. Directed by Ian White and produced by The Birthday Party band member Mick Harvey, the film tells the story of The Birthday Party’s ascent, peak and inevitable collapse — as the press materials put it, “a thrilling tale of epic struggle, artistic genius and total dysfunctionality.” Told in the group’s own words, “Mutiny in Heaven” brings the Birthday Party’s story to the screen for the first time.
The documentary has begun its U.S. screening run to coincide with Nick Cave’s North American tour and will run in over 60 screenings across 50 cities from September to October, and will be available on VOD across the US later this year:
