WIN! Grinderman Vinyl WATCH: Mucky Men!

'Kitchenette' RAK session online now

DAMN but those of us who aren’t going to the ATP I’ll Be Your Mirror Festival this weekend are gutted to be missing Grinderman.

Who knows what was in the DAMN water when they played Primavera, but they delivered a humdinger of a set, Nick Cave accidentally bashing Warren Ellis to the floor, flinging his guitar around and standing on the crowd screaming "TIPPYTOE TIPPYTOE TIPPYTOE!" during ‘Kitchenette’, the video for which you can see below.

DAMN we’re pleased to tell you that we’ve got a copy of the lush 12" for new single ‘Mickey Mouse And The Goodbye Man’ to give away from our friends at Mute. As anyone who has the other Grinderman 12" will know, these are DAMN fine artefacts.

To win a copy, just answer the following question and email comps@thequietus.com with the correct answer, Grinderman in the subject and your address included so Mute can send you the DAMN thing.

What colour is Jim Sclavunos’ drum kit (the video might help)

a) Greco-American Beard

b) Silver

C) Pink
