Crime & the City Solution VI, the latest embodiment of the band Simon Bonney formed in 1977 in Sydney, includes Bonney on vocals, Bronwyn Adams on violin, backing vocals, loops and found sound, highly respected Berlin based Australian drummer Chris Hughes, Floridian synth and guitar maestro Georgio Valentino, Berlin based bass player Baron Anastis and long-time collaborator and friend, Melbourne guitarist and pianist Donald Baldie.

Hugo Race is known among fans as a former teammate of Nick Cave and from numerous touring with his band The True Spirit, which was founded in Berlin in 1989. He recorded several excellent albums, full of raw original songwriting, built mainly on a mixture of blues and psychedelia.
