Grinderman is an alternative rock band formed in 2006 in London, United Kingdom, by Nick Cave (vocals, electric guitar, organ, piano), Warren Ellis (electric bouzouki, Mandocaster, violin, viola, acoustic guitar, backing vocals), Martyn P. Casey (bass, acoustic guitar, backing vocals), and Jim Sclavunos (drums, percussion, backing vocals). Originally known as Mini Seeds, the band was created as "a way to escape the weight of The Bad Seeds." The name Grinderman is inspired by the Memphis Slim song "Grinder Man Blues," which Cave began singing during early rehearsals. The band released their self-titled debut album, Grinderman, in 2007 to extremely positive reviews, followed by their sophomore studio album, Grinderman 2, in 2010.
