Jim E. Brown

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 Hobart.
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.
