Nick Cave wrote new book 'The Sick Bag Song' while on 2014 tour, doing readings in LA, NYC & London in April
The Sick Bag Song chronicles Nick Cave’s 2014 tour of North America with The Bad Seeds. The account of this 22-city journey began life scribbled on airline sick bags and grew into a restless full-length epic, seeking out the roots of inspiration, love and meaning.
Nick Cave‘s new book, The Sick Bag Song, will be out in two different editions. The “Unlimited” edition comes boxed and includes 44 color “sick bag images,” as well as a download of Nick reading the audiobook as well as an E-book copy. That’s out April 8. There are also 10 “Limited” made for for each of the 22 cities covered in The Sick Bag Song. Those are out June 1 and, at around $1000, they are not cheap, but they are pretty cool and come with:
• A unique sick bag customised by Nick Cave with notes, doodles and musings. Hand drawn by the artist onto a specially produced (and fully functional) sick bag, these are individually decorated, signed and rubber-stamped with the relevant city, displayed in a protective mounting. Each one is a completely bespoke piece of artwork. 10 are available for each of the 22 cities.
• A highly collectible recording of The Sick Bag Song on 2 x 180gsm vinyl records in a limited edition run.
• Limited collectors’ edition hardback of The Sick Bag Song by Nick Cave, specially printed and bound in real cloth, signed and numbered in a limited run of 220 copies.
•Anyone who buys a copy of the Limited Edition will receive a complimentary copy of the Unlimited Edition bundle (featuring a print copy of the Unlimited Edition, plus ebook and audio download editions*).

Meanwhile, Nick will be doing special The Sick Bag Song events in Los Angeles, New York and London next month where he’ll read from the book, talk with a TBA host and take questions from the audience. The NYC event happens at Florence Gould Hall on April 10. Tickets go on sale Monday (3/23) at 10 AM.
