A singer/songwriter of considerable grace and wit, Nick Lowe pioneered pub rock and punk, then settled into a dignified third act as an elegant crooner. Lowe started his career as the nominal leader of Brinsley Schwarz, a ragged collection of hippies that helped create the pub rock circuit of the early 1970s. Heavily influenced by the Band, the Brinsleys were at the forefront of a British back-to-basics rock & roll that eventually mutated into punk rock.

"Nick the Knife" is a 1982 album by Nick Lowe. The album was Lowe's third solo LP, and his first since the 1981 breakup of his band Rockpile. However, the record still has several Rockpile ties, as Lowe's former bandmates Billy Bremner and Terry Williams play on the album. In addition, Lowe does a slowed-down remake of the Rockpile song "Heart"; the original version can be found on the band's album Seconds of Pleasure sung by Bremner. "Nick the Knife" reached #50 on the Billboard 200, and #99 on the UK album charts. No singles from the album made the US or UK charts, although in Canada "Stick It Where The Sun Don't Shine" hit the top 40.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are an Australian rock band formed in Melbourne in 1983 by vocalist Nick Cave, multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey and guitarist-vocalist Blixa Bargeld. The band has featured international personnel throughout its career and presently consists of Cave, violinist and multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis, bassist Martyn P. Casey (all from Australia), guitarist George Vjestica (United Kingdom), keyboardist/percussionist Toby Dammit (United States) and drummers Thomas Wydler (Switzerland) and Jim Sclavunos (United States). With their "brutal blues and gothic nightmares" songs, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have been considered "one of the most original and celebrated bands of the post-punk and alternative rock eras in the '80s and onward". They have released seventeen studio albums and completed numerous international tours.

"Live at the Roundhouse" is unlike any other concert film connected with Pink Floyd. It's the nearest thing you can get to a time machine, transporting you back to the very earliest days of the band.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Formed after the breakup of the Birthday Party in 1983, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds are one of the most original and celebrated bands to come out of of the post-punk era, and have continued to make dramatic and challenging music in the decades since. Playing music that mesh with the dark, multi-layered narratives of Cave's lyrics, the Bad Seeds create sounds that are physically and emotionally powerful, imbued with a sense of dynamics and drama that set them apart from their peers. The Bad Seeds' sound evolved steadily over the years along with the lyrical outlook of their leader, from the Birthday Party-influenced chaos of 1984's From Her to Eternity and the blues-flavored minimalism of 1985's The Firstborn Is Dead, through the eloquent, gothic post-punk of 1988's Tender Prey and 1994's Let Love In to the relative warmth and humanity of 1997's The Boatman's Call, the spare but emotionally overpowering soundscapes of 2016's Skeleton Tree and 2019's Ghosteen, and the thoughtful joy of 2024's Wild God. While plenty of musicians would move in and out of the Bad Seeds' lineup over the years, they were always a musical force as powerful as their leader.

If you ever encountered electronic lo-fi funk artist Nick Vivid during a pandemic-era Zoom call, you might have noticed a Gold Record on the wall behind him.

Nicholas Lloyd Webber (born 22 July 1979) is a Grammy nominated English composer and record producer. He is the son of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and his first wife, Sarah Hugill.

For anyone to be able to hold his or her own next to the leopard print leotard clad exploding fireworks factory of a front woman that is Karen О takes a certain level of supreme coolness. Obviously that was achieved by a pale, 115 lb (with a good 20% of that being hair, really excellent hair) soft-spoken young man whose musical prowess had quite a bit to do with it. Thus was Nick Zinner. champion of turn of the century guitar gods, and the unchallenged not so secret ingredient in one of NYC's last great rock bands, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.In the middle of the last decade, after ten+ years of magnificence, the Yeah 3s started slowing down, which gave the hard working Zinner time to experiment. And so he did, playing in two other bands, and collaborating/performing with the likes of Santigold, TV On The Radio, Arcade Fire, Damon Albarn, Scarlett Johansson and, well, there was that orchestral performance at Rockefeller Center. He also produced and worked on soundtracks, even such mainstream fodder (and a personal fave of ours) as Mad Max: Fury Road.
