JIM E. BROWN (UK) @ THE CURTIN

*******SECOND MELBOURNE SHOW ADDED DUE TO DEMAND********
Teenage pop sensation Jim E. Brown is an obese alcoholic who suffers from various degenerative conditions. Fresh off a string of sold-out shows across the world, Manchester’s beloved son makes his long-awaited return to Melbourne.
————
Brown’s sound understandably draws from Manchester’s post-punk and baggy tradition. Drum machines and synths shimmer like a crap New Order. He wails like the Fall’s Mark E. Smith, if Smith was a shame-ridden depressive. He rhapsodises like John Cooper Clarke, if Clarke was raised on YouTube brain rot.
“Never heard of them,” says Brown.
