  On June 27, 1984, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds performed at Stache's in Columbus, Ohio, as part of their first American tour, shortly after the release of their debut album, "From Her to Eternity," which came out in 1984. This album marked a significant moment in Cave's career, showcasing his unique blend of post-punk and gothic rock with deeply poetic, often dark themes. The live recording of "Avalanche," a track featured on the album, captures the raw energy and intensity of the band during this early stage. Notably, the performance highlights Cave's charismatic stage presence and the band's ability to create a haunting atmosphere, elements that would become hallmarks of their live shows. This period was crucial for the group as they began to establish their identity and gain a foothold in the American music scene.
