March 30th – Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project

Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project

The Journey is Long

Release Date: 03/30/2012 · Format: CD/2-LP · Catalog-No: GRCD/2-LP 762
The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project is following 2009’s acclaimed We Are Only Riders collection with a second volume of the late Gun Club leader’s previously-unreleased works-in-progress, brought to life by old friends, collaborators and acolytes…

This time, the Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project includes Nick Cave (who also takes part in a return duet with Debbie Harry on ‘The Breaking Hands’), Mick Harvey, Debbie Harry & Chris Stein, Lydia Lunch, The Jim Jones Revue, Kid Congo Powers, Tav Falco’s Panther Burns, Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell, Youth’s Vertical Smile, Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate), Warren Ellis, Barry Adamson, Bertrand Cantat & Pascal Humbert, Thalia Zedek & Chris Brokaw, Hugo Race, Dom Beken and Kris & Michelle Needs, sometimes in different combinations…

The album is released on March 30th on German label Glitterhouse on both CD and double vinyl, with 20 page booklet featuring memorabilia and extensive liner notes by Kris Needs. Proceeds from the first volume went to Amnesty International, but Pierce’s sister Jacqui is setting up The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Foundation to help fulfil her brother’s long-standing desire to provide musical instruments for under-privileged kids in LA.

A third and final volume called The Task Has Overwhelmed Us is already in production for release later in the year. (For tracklist, see original post at Glitterhouse Records)

Nick Cave anthology: Read Write [Hand] (NEW E-BOOK)

Read Write [Hand]: A Multi-disciplinary Nick Cave Reader

Cover art by Steve Wacksman

“This is an exceptional anthology, a beautiful piece of art, a serious account of one man’s life work and a great example of the possibilities of new media in the 21st Century.” – Dr Nathan Wiseman-Trowse, The University of Northampton

“It’s hard not to get too excited about this text because I am. Read Write [Hand] is a blast of fresh intellectual air.”
– Dr Paul Lumsden, Grant MacEwan University, USA

…While the project is designedly aimed at a particular audience, one of its strengths is that it also helps address reasons for the traditionally divisive nature of Cave’s work. Despite its rather embarrassingly “Dad-joke” title, Read Write [Hand] is, additionally, an important text, post-Harry Potter VIII, in that it posits the timely question of whether Cave’s reign as the apotheosis of the alternative rock star is over.
- Dr Karen Welberry, Cultural seeds: Essays on the Work of Nick Cave (Ashgate, 2009).

Read Write [Hand]: A multi-disciplinary Nick Cave reader is a provocative new e-collection of illustrated essays, accompanied by illustrative online mixtapes, which interrogates Nick Cave’s literary undertones and emphases, false-starts and fixations, achievements and overall credentials. Taking as its starting-point the notion that his work – as both songwriter and Writer – represents an extraordinarily rich nub of musical-literary intersection, this unique volume represents an attempt to explore Cave’s interdisciplinarity via its own multidisciplinarity. Featuring essays by Robert Brokenmouth and Prof. Nick Groom, poetry by Roddy Lumsden and John Clegg, cover artwork by Steve Wacksman and a new version of Cave’s ‘Bring It On’ by Cypress Grove & the Signifiers.
- Editor: Sam Kinchen-Smith Silkworms Ink (2011)

Includes: ” ‘There’s a Devil Crawling Along Your Floor’: Love + Lust = Madness in Cave’s videos ” by Morgan Wolfe (2011).  Illustrated by Marisa Redburn.
