Jim E. Brown (UK)

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 Brisbane. 

Browns sound understandably draws from Manchesters post-punk and baggy tradition. Drum machines and synths shimmer like a crap New Order. He wails like the Falls 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.
