Biography
“Boys Next Door” was formed in 1973 by Nick Cave, Mick Harvey, and Phill Calvert and others while they were attending Caulfield Grammar School outside of Melbourne, Australia. They were later joined by Tracy Pew on bass in 1975, and Rowland S. Howard in 1978 on guitar, thereby solidifying the line-up that would be The Birthday Party, to which they changed their name in 1980.
