“The women in Nick Cave’s Grinderman songs come on strong,” Greg Kot writes for the Tribune. “A worm tamer, heathen child and spider goddess – they’re a handful. The guys should be overwhelmed, but they act like they’ve got nothing to lose except their dignity.
“At the Riviera on Monday, Grinderman explored and exploded the tension in Cave’s songs: on one side, subject matter cloaked in biblical drama; on the other, the psychosexual splatter of pulp novels, low-budget noir movies and bad drunks talking to themselves at the end of a bar.”
