Nicholas Edward "Nick" Cave (born 22 September 1957) is an Australian musician, songwriter, author, screenwriter, composer and occasional film actor. He is best known as the frontman of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, established in 1983, a group known for its diverse output and ever-evolving line-up. Prior to this, he fronted the Birthday Party, one of the most extreme and confrontational post-punk bands of the early 1980s.〔 In 2006, he formed the garage rock band Grinderman, releasing its debut album the following year. Referred to as rock music's "Prince of Darkness", Cave's music is generally characterised by emotional intensity, a wide variety of influences, and lyrical obsessions with death, religion, love and violence.〔Stephen Thomas Erlewine and Steve Huey, AllMusic, ((((Nick Cave > Biography))) ). Retrieved 30 September 2009.〕 ''NME'' described him as "the grand lord of gothic lushness". Cave has also worked as a composer for films, often in collaboration with fellow Australian musician Warren Ellis. Their films together include ''The Proposition'' (2005, based on a screenplay by Cave), ''The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford'' (2007), ''The Road'' (2009) and ''Lawless'' (2012). Cave is the subject and co-writer of the semi-fictional "day in the life" documentary ''20,000 Days on Earth'' (2014). ==Youth, education and family== Cave was born on 22 September 1957 in Warracknabeal, a small country town in the state of Victoria, Australia, to Dawn Cave (née Treadwell) and Colin Frank Cave. As a child, he lived in Warracknabeal and then Wangaratta in rural Victoria. His father taught English and mathematics at the local school; his mother was its librarian. Cave's father also organised the first symposium on the bushranger Ned Kelly,〔Cave, Colin (ed). ''Ned Kelly: Man and Myth''. Wangaratta Adult Education Centre, 1962. ISBN 0-7269-1410-X, p. 10〕 of whom Cave was enamoured as a child.〔Lynskey, Dorian (24 February 2006). ("Outback outlaws" ), ''The Guardian''. Retrieved 2 March 2013.〕 When Cave was 9 he joined the choir of Wangaratta’s Holy Trinity Cathedral.〔 At 13 he was expelled from Wangaratta High School.〔 In 1970, having moved with his family to the Melbourne suburb of Murrumbeena, he became a boarder and later day student at Caulfield Grammar School.〔 He was 19 when his father was killed in a car accident; his mother told him of his father's death while she was bailing him out of a St Kilda police station where he was being held on a charge of burglary. He would later recall that his father "died at a point in my life when I was most confused" and that "the loss of my father created in my life a vacuum, a space in which my words began to float and collect and find their purpose".〔Maume, Chris. "(Nick Cave: Devil's advocate )", ''The Independent''. Retrieved on 10 November 2008.〕 After his secondary schooling, Cave studied painting at the Caulfield Institute of Technology in 1976, but dropped out the following year to pursue music.〔 He also began using heroin around the time that he left art school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Nick Cave, Style Icon )〕 Cave attended his first music concert at Melbourne's Festival Hall.
