The Immaculate Consumptive was a collaborative group featuring four musicians of the no wave scene, that existed for three shows in 1983. Its members were Marc Almond, Nick Cave, Lydia Lunch and Clint Ruin (a.k.a. J. G. Thirlwell).
The group existed for three days, October 30–November 1, in 1983, and toured New York City and Washington, D.C., performing solo pieces and collaborations. According to Cave, the group was Lunch's idea.
