Altar Bar · 112 Murray Street, Hobart
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []" style="text-align: center;">Teenage pop sensation Jim E. Brown is an obese alcoholic who suffers from various degenerative conditions.<br><br>Fresh off a string of sold-out shows across the world, Manchester's beloved son makes his long awaited return to Hobart.<br><br><em>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.<br><br>“Never heard of them,” says Brown.</em><br><br>—Sydney Morning Herald<br>Robert Moran, MAY 24, 2025</p><hr><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span class="fr-video fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jJ0trKBniDE?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span>ACKNOWLEDGEMENT</strong><br>We acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita.
