CRIME & THE CITY SOLUTION

Während Nick Cave kommenden Herbst die größten Eishockeyhallen Europas mit seinem spritzigen Musical „The Wild God“ bespielen wird, gehen CRIME & THE CITY SOLUTION (Mute) in die andere Richtung:  In kleiner Besetzung werden Simon Bonney (Text, Gesang, Gitarre), Bronwyn Adams (Gesang, Violine) und Josh Murphy (Gitarre) die Songs von „The Killer“ (Mute, 2023), Bonneys Soloarbeiten wie auch Klassiker aus dem Gesamtwerk in ihrer Urform präsentieren. Oder in den Worten der Band:

„Crime & the City Solution is proud to announce the launch of a three-piece acoustic version of the band that will be known as Crime & the City Solution (Acoustic) or Crime (Acoustic) for short. Inspired by the Bonney/Adams duo that toured the US and Europe with Mark Lanegan in 2019, Crime (Acoustic) is born of a want to play the material in the style that many of the songs were first born, to enjoy an intimate atmosphere that captures the simple joy of friends playing together for friends, unmediated by technology. Crime (Acoustic) will feature Bronwyn Adams (violin and vocals), Simon Bonney (vocals) and Joshua Murphy (acoustic guitar and vocals) and will operate in addition to the bigger full-electric line-up. It will perform songs from the Crime back catalogue as well as selected songs from Simon’s solo recordings.“
