New Grinderman LP totally being thought about

There's no solid release date. There's no actual recordings. YET. But there is the idea that it will be released in early 2009.

Nick Cave told XFM that "when we go in to make the next Grinderman record we don't want it to sound like the last Bad Seeds record or the Grinderman record before and we're forced to find something new. But that's always been the way!" The NME is reporting that the new theoretical album will "feature a totally different sound" than either the previous Grinderman LP or Cave's most recent outing with the Bad Seeds, Dig, Lazarus, Dig! The NME does not go on to state whether that "totally different sound" will lean more towards free jazz or gypsy punk.

PS--I finally bought my tickets to the September Nick Cave show in Chicago. And I STILL do not have a date. Just think, it could be you!!!!
