Crime & The City Solution

While Crime (Acoustic) first saw the light supporting the legendary Mark Lanegan in Europe and the US in 2019, the band were originally formed in Sydney by Simon Bonney in the late 70s.

Their 1986 debut album, ‘Room of Lights’, includes one of their most beloved songs, ‘Six Bells Chime’. Recorded in London, this line-up of the band reached its zenith with a historic swansong performance of the track in Wim Wenders’ 1987 cinematic masterpiece ‘Wings of Desire’.

Their track ‘The Adversary’ also appeared on the soundtrack to Wenders follow-up ‘Until The End of the World’.

Previous incarnations of the band have included Mick Harvey (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), Roland S Howard (The Birthday Party and Jim White (The Dirty Three).
