Imagine the year 2020. - Britney Spears is a withered hag. Electronica has become Jazz. Tina Arena is hosting Young Talent Time. Music goes straight from the studio to the net (Napstar and the like) and is downloadable in 30 minutes or its free. Slim Dusty and Peter Andre are stars again, and the latest craze in recording is scraping ex-celebrities off space age skid row and re-packaging them as Slopstars.
The progeny of mega selling stars like Madonna, Michael Jackson and Celine Dion have grown up and found a fork in the Rock and Roll Road to God Knows Where: embrace their musical birthright and risk life in the shadow of their parents . or fly in the face of destiny and risk becoming Priscilla Presley or Chastity Bono.
While the fate of the Jackson kiddies – conceived in a petri dish, nurtured in an oxygen tank and raised among monkeys – was a formality (they became agents), the twin boys of Nick Cave face a longer shadow than most. Twins are different. Cave with his love of biblical prophecy and portent, knew that. The rock bible is crammed with tales of 2 brothers – one good, one evil – serving the ends of their father. (Liam and Noel, Angus and Malcolm, S2S) Nick himself was fond of uttering the line “I come on the name of the father.” But now in the year 2020, did the twins come in the name of theirs?
Kane Cave entered the clergy, abandoning a career in sport on his father’s advice and adopted the family belief that God is everywhere – especially in the darkest corners of Berlin nightclubs. He believes the Devil (Whispering Jack to Earthlings) has manifested itself in the music of aging diva Vanessa Amorosi. Kanes only musical forays to date have been Presbyterian sermons with accompaniment from the veteran Mick Harvey on church organ. A single – “Kylie 3:16” – charted briefly in 2019. He lives quietly in his fathers home parish of Wangaratta.
Abel Cave embarked on a recording career. As frontman for the brash young outfit The Dead ****s, he showed admirable disregard for self preservation while establishing new benchmarks in drugs and blood-fuelled musical theatre. Kickstarting his career with a computerised duet with his father on the song “The Good Son”, Abel embraced white clothing and piano accordian from a young age. He is currently ensconced in a Saturn 17 recording studio with his new band The Bastards, which features Tiger – Lily Hutchenes on vocals, Frances Bean Cobain on guitar, Lourdes Ciccone on keyboards and Darryl Sommers Junior on drums. Remember them when you’re next driving a Rolls Royce into your own gene pool.
