Mick Harvey
Biography
Mick Harvey is renowned as a Musician, Record Producer and Composer who has been active for the last 40 + years and is perhaps best known as a member of The Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds and for his long term collaborative work with PJ Harvey and Nick Cave.
Aside from scoring a dozen or so feature films and numerous short films and documentaries, split almost evenly between Australia and Europe, Harvey has also released 8 or 9 solo albums in the last 2 decades and been the recipient of several Australian industry awards including AFI Best Original Score for ‘Suburban Mayhem’ in 2006 and in 2011 took out British Producer of the Year for his (co)production on PJ Harvey’s ‘Let England Shake’.
The last decade has seen him either performing material from his 4 albums of translated Serge Gainsbourg songs (Intoxicated Man, Pink Elephants, Delirium Tremens, Intoxicated Woman) or his own material on a more regular basis.
He is also a key figure in the touring retrospective show “Pop Crimes: The Songs of Rowland S. Howard” which pays tribute to his old Birthday Party bandmate.
