00:00 The Birthday Party, bands Nick Cave, vocals, Roland Howard guitar, Mick Harvey guitar,

00:09 Phil Calvert drums, Tracy Pugh bass and the first one is called Figaro Fun.

00:15 When I look at the Birthday Party, it was just full of a kind of naive adventurousness

00:22 and we really stumbled onto something completely unique.

00:26 It was just fucking crazy.

00:30 [Music]

00:43 We had no intention of being some sort of professional product.

00:46 It was like the enemy.

00:47 [Music]

00:49 The whole thing, particularly live, is that it becomes a kind of unconscious expression of things.

00:55 It wasn't like rip up the chairs and smash the place up.

00:59 It was something from inside the psyche.

01:01 It was quite frightening sometimes.

01:03 It was quite frightening being on stage.

01:05 [Music]

01:10 There was a sense of immortality, a sense of everything was possible and you didn't

01:17 have to obey the rules.

01:19 [Music]

01:21 We felt completely alienated toward everything.

01:26 That's what came out of it.

01:27 It was very violent, very aggressive shows.

01:30 [Music]

01:32 We thought that we were the only real rock band in the world and we wanted to take it

01:36 that much further.

01:38 If we had have been a little more well adjusted to the world that we were living in at the

01:42 time, we would have played different sort of music, but we weren't.
