The Immaculate Consumptive

The Immaculate Consumptive were Nick Cave, Jim "Foetus" Thirlwell, Lydia Lunch & Marc Almond. Nick did "In The Ghetto", "A Box For Black Paul" and a duet with Marc Almond: "Body Unknown". Unfortunately, on the only circulating tape of the 3 shows they did, Nick didn't do "A Box For Black Paul", because Jim had ruined the piano by playing it with his feet. Rumour has it that there exists a video of this gig, but I have no evidence of that. There may have been a planned but cancelled 4th show in Los Angeles.
