'''Michael John Harvey''' (born 29 August 1958) is an Australian musician, singer-songwriter, composer, arranger and record producer. A multi-instrumentalist, he is best known for his long-term collaborations with [[Nick Cave]], with whom he formed [[The Birthday Party (band)#Early years and The Boys Next Door (1973–1978)|The Boys Next Door]], [[The Birthday Party (band)|The Birthday Party]] and [[Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds]]. Harvey has also produced and contributed to multiple recordings by different artists and released several albums and soundtracks as a solo artist. 

==Early life==
Born in [[Rochester, Victoria]], Australia, Harvey moved to the suburbs of [[Melbourne]] in his childhood. His father was a [[Vicar (Anglicanism)|Church of England vicar]], and the family lived adjacent to the father's church; first in [[Ormond, Victoria|Ormond]] and later in [[Ashburton, Victoria|Ashburton]]. Harvey sang in the [[church choir]] from an early age.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.last.fm/music/Mick+Harvey/+wiki|title=Mick Harvey's Biography — Free listening, videos, concerts, stats and photos at Last.fm|website=Last.fm|access-date=1 December 2017}}</ref>

Harvey, his elder brother Philip, and younger brother Sebastian all attended the private boys' school [[Caulfield Grammar School]]. He met [[Nick Cave]], [[Phill Calvert]] and [[Tracy Pew]] at school in the early 1970s.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/feb/23/popandrock.features|title=Interview with Nick Cave|first=Interview by Simon|last=Hattenstone|newspaper=The Guardian |date=23 February 2008|access-date=1 December 2017|via=www.theguardian.com}}</ref> A rock group was formed with Cave (vocals), Harvey (guitar), Calvert (drums), and other students on guitar, bass and saxophone. The band played at parties and school functions, with a repertoire of [[Lou Reed]], [[David Bowie]], [[Roxy Music]], [[Alice Cooper]] and the [[Sensational Alex Harvey Band]], among others. Harvey was also a member of the school choir, conducted by actor [[Norman Kaye]], and took extracurricular lessons from [[jazz guitar]]ist [[Bruce Clarke (musician)|Bruce Clarke]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mickharvey.com/biography.php|title=Mick Harvey - Biography|website=www.mickharvey.com|access-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171115181727/http://www.mickharvey.com/biography.php|archive-date=15 November 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Music career==

===The Birthday Party===
{{Main|The Birthday Party (band)}}
After their final school year in 1975, Harvey, [[Nick Cave]] and [[Phill Calvert]]'s band decided to continue with [[Tracy Pew]] as bassist. Greatly influenced by the [[punk rock|punk]] explosion of 1976, which saw Australian bands [[The Saints (Australian band)|The Saints]] and [[Radio Birdman]] make their first recordings and tours, [[The Birthday Party (band)#The Boys Next Door|The Boys Next Door]], as the band was now called, began performing fast, original [[New wave music|new wave]] material.<ref>[https://www.discogs.com/artist/78466-The-Boys-Next-Door Discogs - ''The Boys Next Door'' - Aliases, Members, Discography]</ref> Harvey's guitar style was influenced by [[James Williamson (musician)|James Williamson]] of [[The Stooges]] and [[Paul Weller (singer)|Paul Weller]] of [[The Jam]]. The Boys Next Door regularly played at Melbourne pubs between 1977 and 1980. [[Rowland S. Howard]] joined the band in 1978, bringing with him a chaotic [[audio feedback|feedback]] guitar style.

After extensive touring, recordings, and moderate success in Australia, the Boys Next Door relocated to [[London]], England in 1980, and changed their name to The Birthday Party. Harvey's girlfriend Katy Beale followed the band to London. This period was defined by innovative and aggressive music composition, underpinned by Harvey's guitar playing. The band moved to [[West Berlin]], Germany in 1982, but without Calvert; Harvey subsequently transitioned from guitar to drums.

===Crime and the City Solution===
{{main|Crime & the City Solution}}

After the breakup of The Birthday Party and while initiating the early recordings of what would become [[Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds|the Bad Seeds]] with [[Nick Cave]], Harvey contacted his friend [[Simon Bonney]], with whom he reformed Bonney's old Australian band [[Crime & the City Solution]]. [[Rowland S. Howard]], [[Harry Howard (musician)|Harry Howard]] (bass) and [[Epic Soundtracks]] (drums), all of whom a few years later would form the basis of [[These Immortal Souls]], also participated. This line-up of the band found its peak and demise with its appearance in the [[Wim Wenders]] film ''[[Wings of Desire]]''. Bonney then stayed in Berlin and formed the next line-up of the band with his partner Bronwyn Adams, Harvey (drums), [[Alexander Hacke]] of [[Einstürzende Neubauten]] (guitar), [[Chrislo Haas]] of [[Liaisons Dangereuses (band)|Liaisons Dangereuses]] and [[Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft|D.A.F.]] (synthesizer), and Thomas Stern (bass). The line-up released three studio albums and toured until 1991.

=== Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds ===
{{main|Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds}}

Harvey and Cave formed [[Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds]] in 1983. Harvey was principally the drummer on the band's first two albums before [[Thomas Wydler]] became a full-time member. After the departure of [[Barry Adamson]], Harvey was primarily a bass guitarist for several years until the arrival of [[Martyn P. Casey]] in 1990 when Harvey moved back to guitar, his original instrument. In all versions of the band, Harvey also played keyboards, xylophone and other instruments as needed, and sang backing vocals.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Harvey was usually charged with the production of the recordings along with Cave and guitarist [[Blixa Bargeld]], in addition to co-writing many of the band's songs and putting together most of the string arrangements and other orchestration. He was often perceived as a [[musical director]] for the band and also managed much of the band’s business affairs right up until his departure. Harvey remained with the Bad Seeds for 25 years until his last show in Perth, Australia on 20 January 2009, when he cited both professional and personal factors as reasons for leaving.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4157790 |title=Quit declaration text |access-date=1 December 2020 |archive-date=17 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210617012311/https://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4157790 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[http://meltingpod.free.fr/?p=214 Melting Pod interview 2010]</ref> Regarding Cave, Harvey informed the media: <blockquote>
I'm confident Nick [Cave] will continue to be a creative force and that this is the right time to pass on my artistic and managerial role to what has become a tremendous group of people who can support him in his endeavours, both musically and organisationally.<ref name="Quit">{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/01/22/2472215.htm?section=entertainment|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120723051749/http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/01/22/2472215.htm?section=entertainment|url-status=dead|archive-date=23 July 2012|title=Bad Seeds co-founder Harvey quits|date=23 January 2009|work=ABC News|access-date=28 August 2014}}</ref></blockquote>

In 2010, Harvey explained further how his frustration with song arrangements strained his relationship with Cave. A desire to spend time with family was also a significant reason for his decision to leave the Bad Seeds. The split marked the end of a 36-year-long collaboration between Harvey and Cave.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://meltingpod.free.fr/?p=214|title=Podcast 103 Live interview with Mick Harvey in Paris 2010 : some reasons to have left the band Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds…Part 2 (25′)|author1=Mardi|date=2 March 2010|website=Meltingpod|format=Audio file|access-date=28 August 2014}}</ref>

===Anita Lane===
{{main|Anita Lane}}

Harvey worked extensively with [[Anita Lane]], Nick Cave’s muse and partner of many years, on the albums ''Dirty Pearl'' (1993) and ''[[Sex O'Clock (album)|Sex O’Clock]]'' (2001).

===The Wallbangers===
In 2007, the Spanish label [[Bang! Records]] released a four-track [[Extended play|EP]] by Harvey's [[retro]] rock band The Wallbangers, called ''Kick the Drugs''<ref>[https://www.discogs.com/release/3327901 Discogs - ''Kick the Drugs'' - vinyl 7", Bang! Records (BANG!-21) Spain]</ref> featuring songs written by Harvey and songs he co-wrote with [[Tex Perkins]] and [[Loene Carmen]]. Harvey sang and played guitar on the recordings.

===Solo===
After Bonney left [[Crime & the City Solution]] for a solo career in the early 1990s, Harvey recorded two solo albums of [[Serge Gainsbourg]] songs, translated from French into English: ''[[Intoxicated Man]]'' (1995) and ''[[Pink Elephants]]'' (1997). He also collaborated with UK rock musician [[PJ Harvey]] (no relation), and produced recordings for other Australian artists, including [[Anita Lane]], [[Robert Forster (musician)|Robert Forster]], [[Conway Savage]] and [[Rowland S. Howard]]. Harvey's third solo album, ''[[One Man's Treasure]]'', was released in September 2005.

Harvey undertook his first solo tours of Europe and Australia in 2006, accompanied by fellow Bad Seeds [[Thomas Wydler]] and [[James Johnston (English musician)|James Johnston]], as well as Melbourne-based double bassist Rosie Westbrook. His next solo record, 2007's ''Two of Diamonds'', was recorded with this group, as was the 2008 live album ''Three Sisters – Live at Bush Hall''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Two of Diamonds - Biography |url=https://www.mickharvey.com/news/two-of-diamonds-biography }}</ref>

In February 2008, Harvey and Westbrook played as a support act for PJ Harvey on her Australian tour, with both Harveys also performing on stage together. Prior to the tour, Harvey had worked extensively with PJ Harvey over a 12-year period: he was a recording musician on her albums ''[[To Bring You My Love]]'' and ''[[Is This Desire?]]'', and co-produced the album ''[[Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea]]'' in 2000.<ref>{{cite web|author1=Melbjuz|title=PJ chooses Mick Harvey|url=http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/news/11857/PJ-chooses-Mick-Harvey|website=Faster Louder|publisher=Faster Louder Pty Ltd|access-date=28 August 2014|date=10 January 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903173411/http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/news/11857/PJ-chooses-Mick-Harvey|archive-date=3 September 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
[[File:Mickey_Harvey_2012.jpg|thumb|right|Harvey performing in 2012]]
In both 2008 and 2009, he joined the five remaining members of [[The Triffids]] for a series of performances at the [[Sydney Festival]], [[Arts Centre Melbourne]] and [[Perth International Arts Festival]], celebrating the music and the memory of [[David McComb]]. Harvey is also a contributor to the 2009 edited collection, ''Vagabond Holes: David McComb and the Triffids'', edited by Australian academics [[Niall Lucy]] and Chris Coughran.<ref>Niall Lucy and Chris Coughran, eds. Vagabond Holes: David McComb and The Triffids (Fremantle: Fremantle Press, 2009).</ref>

During 2008 and 2009, Harvey worked on what would be [[Rowland S. Howard]]’s last album ''[[Pop Crimes]]'', playing drums while future collaborator J.P. Shilo provided bass and violin. The album was released just a few months before Howard succumbed to liver cancer in late 2009.

Harvey released ''[[Sketches from the Book of the Dead]]''—the first solo album written entirely by himself—in early 2011. The 11-track album was recorded in Melbourne, between a Port Melbourne studio and his own Grace Lane music room. Harvey played most of the instruments, while Westbrook played double bass, Shilo played accordion, violin and occasional guitar, and Xanthe Waite contributed backing vocals. Harvey explained in a promotional interview that he does not perceive himself as a "songwriter" in the traditional sense, whereby the practice is: "something they [actual songwriters, as perceived by Harvey] have done historically and something they've worked on as central to what they are as an artist". He also confirmed that the opening track, "October Boy", is about Rowland S. Howard.<ref name="Ian">{{cite web|author1=Ian Johnston|title=Mick Harvey – Exclusive LTW Review/Interview|url=http://louderthanwar.com/mick-harvey-exclusive-ltw-reviewinterview/|website=Louder Than War|access-date=28 August 2014|date=12 April 2011}}</ref>

Harvey again co-produced and recorded for PJ Harvey during the creation of her eighth studio album, ''[[Let England Shake]]''. The 2011 release was supported by a world tour in the same year, which also included Harvey as a touring musician.<ref name="Ian" />

Harvey's sixth solo studio album, ''[[Four (Acts of Love)]]'', was released on Mute in 2013 and included original compositions by Harvey alongside a song by PJ Harvey ("Glorious") and interpretations of The Saints’ "The Story of Love", [[Van Morrison]]’s "The Way Young Lovers Do", Exuma’s "Summertime in New York" and [[Roy Orbison]]’s "Wild Hearts (Run Out of Time)". ''Four (Acts of Love)'' was recorded at Grace Lane, North Melbourne and Atlantis Sound, Melbourne, and featured regular collaborators Westbrook on double bass and Shilo on guitar and violin.

Harvey again collaborated with PJ Harvey in early 2015, playing and singing on her album ''[[The Hope Six Demolition Project]]''. The following year he joined PJ on tour promoting the album, which was released in April 2016.

Harvey's third installment in his project of translating [[Serge Gainsbourg]]'s songs into English, ''[[Delirium Tremens (Mick Harvey album)|Delirium Tremens]]'', was released in 2016. The album was recorded in Melbourne with Harvey's Antipodean-based core live band. Ten songs were tracked at Birdland Studios before the project was relocated to Berlin, where a further nine songs were recorded with Toby Dammit ([[The Stooges]], The Residents) and Bertrand Burgalat (of French label Tricatel), who was the string arranger on the first two volumes.

Harvey continued his dedication to the works of Serge Gainsbourg with ''[[Intoxicated Women]]'', released in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Der Underground-Veteran beißt sich an Serge Gainsbourg fest. |url=https://www.laut.de/Mick-Harvey/Alben/Intoxicated-Women-105909 |access-date=2023-08-16 |website=laut.de |language=de}}</ref> The album focused on Gainsbourg's duets and songs from the 1960s, which he wrote specifically for renowned singers such as [[France Gall]], [[Juliette Gréco|Juliette Greco]] and [[Brigitte Bardot]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mick Harvey: Beschwipste Damen, gedimmtes Licht |url=https://www.derstandard.at/story/2000051567546/mick-harvey-beschwipste-damen-gedimmtes-licht |access-date=2023-08-16 |website=DER STANDARD |language=de-AT}}</ref> To realise the project, Harvey collaborated with a number of guest musicians: Xanthe Waite, German singer Andrea Schroeder, Jess Ribeiro, [[Sophia Brous]], Cambodian singer [[Kak Channthy]], Lyndelle-Jayne Spruyt, and his son Solomon Harvey. 

In 2018, Harvey released the album ''The Fall and Rise of Edgar Bourchier and the Horrors of War'' in collaboration with author Christopher Richard Barker. He collaborated with Amanda Acevedo for the album ''Phantasmagoria in Blue'', released in 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Seaman |first=Duncan |date=2023-09-07 |title=Amanda Acevedo and Mick Harvey: 'For me, just the idea of recording a song was like a present' |url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/amanda-acevedo-and-mick-harvey-this-project-seemed-to-have-something-that-had-legs-4284778 |access-date=2024-12-13 |website=Yorkshire Post |language=en}}</ref> In May 2024, Harvey released his eleventh studio album, ''[[Five Ways to Say Goodbye]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Stafford |first=Andrew |date=2024-05-09 |title='I can't take Michael Bublé seriously': Mick Harvey on songwriting, staying straight and 'survivor's guilt' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/may/10/mick-harvey-five-ways-to-say-goodbye-album-interview |access-date=2024-12-13 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>  

==Personal life==
[[File:Mick Harvey (The Bad Seeds) 'Talking Smack Honest Conversations About Drugs'.webm|thumb|Harvey discussing drug use with Andrew McMillen]]
Harvey divides his time between Europe and Melbourne. He has one son with his partner, Katy Beale, who is a painter. As of 2014, the family resided in the inner-city Melbourne suburb of North Melbourne.<ref name="Talk" />

As part of his interview with Brisbane writer [[Andrew McMillen]] for the book ''Talking Smack: Honest Conversations About Drugs'', Harvey concluded with his perspective on illicit drug use:

{{blockquote|Because I’ve been so surrounded by [illicit drug use], I've seen a lot of the problems that come with it. But I've also seen a lot of people, as well, who've used in different ways and not had problems. So the point about banning it across the board is that then you remove that freedom of choice of those people, too. I mean, why does alcohol remain available when other things aren't? It's not a great drug, at all.<ref name="Talk">{{cite web|title='Talking Smack: Honest Conversations About Drugs' book launch at Avid Reader, 21 August 2014|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv5u_-dvdjM |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211213/Iv5u_-dvdjM |archive-date=2021-12-13 |url-status=live|website=Andrew McMillen on YouTube|publisher=Google Inc|access-date=28 August 2014|format=Video upload|date=21 August 2014}}{{cbignore}}</ref>}}
