Here is a super-high-quality soundboard recording of a performance by The Boys Next Door—led by the "mad dog" of Australia, Nick Cave—at the "New Wave Rock Show" in Melbourne! This release includes the complete set, featuring the "Intermezzo" (instrumental interlude) that was omitted from previous releases. These ultra-early punk recordings from Nick Cave—predating The Birthday Party—are a must-listen. Nick Cave is also famously known for his feud with fellow Australians Radio Birdman; why not add this historic band—which had a massive influence on the evolution of Australian rock—to your record collection?
