Crime And The City Solution




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 . The long term influence of the band has yet to be acknowledged. Crime were famed for their live performances. Bonney has since gone on to record solo material.
