It's hard to believe that October 2023 is the 40th anniversary of The Immaculate Consumptive, the project that brought together Nick Cave, Lydia Lunch, Marc Almond and JG Thirlwell into a live performance group that performed just three times : twice in NYC at Danceteria and once at the 9.30 Club in Washington DC.

It's also the 40th anniversary of JG Thirlwell moving to NYC, as after the Immaculate Consumptive show he made the city his home.

The Immaculate Consumptive ft. Lydia Lunch, Nick Cave, Marc Almond, and J.G Thirlwell. NME Nov. 12, 1983

The four met in London while Lunch was filming 'Like Dawn to Dust'. Cave and Thirlwell were working on the track 'Wings Off Flies' from Cave's debut album. Both had previously worked with Marc Almond, who was taking a break from Soft Cell.

They traveled to New York for a Halloween event Lunch had planned and performed from October 27th to the 29th. The group only lasted 3 days, with Cave bored with the group.
