c&tcs-shine,1988

Crime and The City Solution were a rock music band formed by Australian singer and songwriter Simon Bonney.
They had four distinct line-ups: Sydney in 1977-78, Melbourne in 1979, and two groupings in Berlin. The only common member in all four line-ups was Bonney.
Other members included: former members of The Birthday Party (Mick Harvey and Rowland S. Howard); former Swell Maps drummer Epic Soundtracks; and Alexander Hacke from Einstürzende Neubauten.
Crime and the City Solution completed four studio albums and a number of E.Ps during it's existence, and a live album has since been released. Further early recordings have resurfaced on the internet. Parallels have been drawn between Crime and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds- but even Cave has accepted the superior vocal talent of Bonney. The long term influence of the band has yet to be acknowledged. Crime were famed for the tortuous beauty of their live performances. Bonney has since gone on to record solo materialWim Wenders, who was a fan of the band, featured them performing in his film Wings of Desire as well as in the soundtrack to Until the End of the World.
