Comments: Do what you need to do for your gadgets at home but when you pass this show on please give the files the same way you got them...lossless & with the info file.

There is exactly one stage prop at a Grinderman show: a massive, all-encompassing tarp that encircles the performance space from floor to ceiling. It's not much to look at, but it says a whole lot about what's to come: If you're going to dish out dirty, trashy rock'n'roll, you'd best do it in a big-ass garbage bag.

That was the only special effect required on the launch of Grinderman's North American tour last night at Toronto's way-sold-out Phoenix Concert Theatre. The ungodly squall produced by original goth-father Nick Cave and three of his fellow moonlighting Bad Seeds (guitarist/violinist Warren Ellis, bassist Martyn Casey, and drummer Jim Sclavunos) was powerful enough to induce seizures, panic attacks, and hallucinations without any superfluous stimuli. Just as Grinderman's two releases to date -- 2007's self-titled effort and the recently released Grinderman 2 -- posit the band as the Bad Seeds' more feral alter-ego, the live Grinderman experience makes the recorded incarnation seem disarmingly tame in comparison.
