Nick Cave & Warren Ellis To Take Part In 'Lawless' Soundtrack Live Chat Next Week

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are treating fans to a special one-off event next week, discussing the 2012 film Lawless on Bad Seed TeeVee.

The film was directed by John Hillcoat and is based on the screenplay by Cave, detailing the true story of "the Bondurant Brothers in Prohibition-era Virginia", based on the work of Matt Bondurant whose book The Wettest Country In The World shares "the story of his grandfather and two brothers, whose bootlegging operation brings them into a terrifying collision with the law and rival gangsters".

They'll be joined by Hillcoat and photographer Polly Borland to discuss the film in a live chat on 9 October at 8pm AEST.
