Timeline

1960

Anita Louise Lane (18 March 1960 – 27 April 2021) was an Australian singer-songwriter who was briefly a member of the Bad Seeds with Nick Cave and Mick Harvey and collaborated with both bandmates.

Anita Louise Lane was born in Melbourne in 1960.

She began singing and writing songs at the age of 16.

She was a classmate of Rowland S. Howard while both were students at the Prahran College of Advanced Education, undertaking the Tertiary Orientation Programme.

1977

Lane met Nick Cave in 1977 and the pair began an intermittent personal relationship.

Cave, on lead vocals, was a member of a new wave group the Boys Next Door with Mick Harvey on guitar, Phill Calvert on drums and Tracy Pew on bass guitar.

1978

By December 1978, Rowland S. Howard had joined the line up on lead guitar.

1980

In February 1980, the Boys Next Door were renamed as the Birthday Party and Lane and Cave moved to London with the group.

1981

Lane and Cave co-wrote the lyrics for "A Dead Song", which appeared on their debut album Prayers on Fire which was released in April 1981.

AllMusic's Greg Maurer praised the album and noted Lane's song writing contribution.

George Sarostin of Only Solitaire felt that, on this track, Cave "sounds, with all of his whiny 'okay okay', just like one of those poor innocent or half-innocent victims with a bloody nose and a gun at their temple in a gangster movie".

1982

For their second album, Junkyard, which was released in May 1982, Lane and Cave co-wrote "Dead Joe" and "Kiss Me Black".

Session and touring musician Barry Adamson provided bass guitar on "Kiss Me Black".

The group relocated to West Berlin in August 1982 prior to their cessation in June of the following year.

Lane on keyboards, backing vocals and occasional lead vocals, was briefly a member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds with Adamson, Cave, Harvey, Blixa Bargeld on guitar (also a member of Einstürzende Neubauten) and Hugo Race (ex-Plays with Marionettes).

1984

She supplied lyrics for "From Her to Eternity", the title track of their debut album (June 1984).

She left the group soon after.

1986

Lane co-wrote "Stranger Than Kindness" with Bargeld, which appears on Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' fourth album, Your Funeral... My Trial which was released in November 1986.

1988

Lane added her lead vocals over a musical score by Bargeld, Cave and Harvey for the soundtrack of the 1988 Australian film Ghosts... of the Civil Dead, including the track "A Prison in the Desert".

Jon Behm of Reviler.org praised her "ethereal howling/whispering vocals, which due to her babydoll voice sound a bit like the ravings of a mentally disturbed child. It's a pretty intriguing tune for any fan of moody, somewhat frightening music".

Lane had a "sporadic solo career" beginning with her four-track extended play Dirty Sings in 1988 on Mute Records.

For the recording, she was joined by Adamson, Cave, Harvey and Thomas Wydler on drums (of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, ex-Die Haut); while Harvey produced the EP.

She also provided guest vocals on "The Bells Belong to the Ashes" for the album Headless Body in Topless Bar in 1988 by German post-punk post-rock band Die Haut.

1989

In 1989, Lane was featured on Adamson's debut solo album, Moss Side Story; with Harvey, she was part of the Freedom Choir on "Suck on the Honey of Love" and "Free at Last".

1991

She supplied vocals again for his second solo effort, the soundtrack for the film Delusion (1991).

1992

In 1992, she performed a duet with Kid Congo Powers on Die Haut's track "Excited" and another with Bargeld on "How Long (Have We Known Each Other Now)" for the German group's album Head On.

1993

Lane released two solo albums, Dirty Pearl (1993) and Sex O'Clock (2001).

Lane and Bargeld duetted again on "Blume" for his group, Einstürzende Neubauten's sixth studio album, Tabula Rasa (1993).

The track is co-written by Lane, Bargeld and his group members.

In 1993, Lane issued her debut solo studio album Dirty Pearl, recorded from 1982 to that year.

It consists of her work with The Birthday Party, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Einstürzende Neubauten and Die Haut, as well as exclusive album tracks.

The album was co-produced by Bargeld, Cave, Harvey, Johannes Beck, John Cafferty, Die Haut, Einstürzende Neubaten, Sven Röhrig, and The Birthday Party.

An expanded CD version includes all four Dirty Sings tracks.

Ned Raggett of AllMusic noted that Dirty Pearl was a "collection organized in reverse chronological order", which was "a bit fragmented as a result [it] still makes for an involving listen, demonstrating clearly that her work is worth taking on its own terms instead of simply being a Cave footnote".

He praised her singing "a good if at points girlish voice, albeit one that she's shown more control over with time ... she has a taste for smoky sonic settings for her vocals, sometimes low-key and sly, other times frenetic even as she keeps her cool".

Consumable Online's Reto Koradi felt the music "glooms in the dark, slow and almost hypnotic. The lyrics paint pictures of dreams, love, sex, religion and death".

Most of the original tracks were co-written by Lane with Harvey.

1995

The album provided Lane's single "The World's a Girl", which appeared on 5 June 1995.

Koradi declared that it was "an obvious choice as a single, it's the most radio-friendly track".

2009

Chris Long of BBC Music reviewed the album in May 2009 and found that "Stranger Than Kindness" was a "twisted love song. At once both beautiful and startling, it is a song that sounds like a held breath, never letting slip the power that swells within it".
