Manchester's Jim E. Brown graces Australia's shores for the very first time this April.

Performing a slew of hits from his oeuvre (including I Know I'm Going to Die of a Stroke, Bin Man and Squeal Like a Pig), Jim E. Brown promises to entertain and perturb his newfound Australian audience.

Co-headlining the tour will be Andy Burns, a chamber pop artist based in Perth. The bulk of Burns' music was recorded over a several-year stint living and working in Tokyo as a salaryman. He has released 3 albums and recently concluded a national tour with US banjoist Eugene Chadbourne.
