Crime & the City Solution - Acoustic

£26 (inc. fees) - St Matthias Church - 25th September 2025

Formed in Sydney by Simon Bonney at the age of 16, Crime & the City Solution’s early performances from 1977-1979 had a big impact on key figures of the early Melbourne art-punk/post punk scene. In 1984, Bad Seed Mick Harvey shipped Bonney to England to form the London based Crime with their friend, the brilliant and ever influential ex-Birthday Party guitarist, Rowland S Howard, his brother Harry Howard on bass and Epic Soundtracks on drums. Two years on, having toured Europe, the UK and US and released several EPs and an album, this lineup reached its zenith in a historic swansong performance in Wim Wenders’ cinematic masterpiece ‘Wings of Desire’.

Following the Berlin incarnation, encapsulated in Shine, The Bride Ship, Paradise Disco and the live album, The Adversary, it would be 20 years before the band, then based in Detroit, would return with 2013’s American Twilight: “as much an elegy to the American Dream that’s turned into a global nightmare as it is a damn fine rock & roll album” -The Quietus

Core members Simon Bonney and Bronwyn Adams recently returned with Crime’s sixth studio album the killer, recorded in Berlin by the second incarnation of the band to be based in the German capital.
