The Crazy World of Arthur Brown announces 45 Years of Fire Tour 2013

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown announces 45 Years of Fire Tour 2013


The Crazy World of Arthur Brown hits the road across the UK with a brand new live show to celebrate 45 years of the massive hit song ‘FIRE

Arthur Brown first came to prominence in swinging London in 1967, after spending some time on the Paris underground scene Arthur was quickly signed to Track Records at the instruction of The Who’s Pete Townshend and released the single Devils Grip, regarded by some as the record that gave the birth of Heavy Metal.  

Arthur is best thought of for his 1968 Number one single Fire that still gets regular airplay all over the world and has been covered by the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Die Krupps, The Prodigy and The Who.  

Arthur's next band Kingdom Come performed as the main act at the first filmed Glastonbury Festival in 1971 and in 1973 Kingdome Come was the first band to release an album using a Drum Machine.  

Artists such as Peter Gabriel, Alice Cooper and Bruce Dickenson site Arthur Brown as a major influence on them and in this Arthur's fifth decade in music the fire is far from out.  

Arthur's most recent album Voices of Love had major critical acclaim and Arthur received the Classic Rock magazine showman of the year award. 

A new album featuring special guests will be released later this year!

The Wicked Whispers recruit Captain Beefhearts ‘Magic Band’ Liverpool 3 Dec


The Wicked Whispers recruit Captain Beefhearts Magic Band for the Butterfly ball Liverpool


The Butterfly’s Ball and the Grasshoppers Feast!
Saturday 3 December 2011
Liverpool The Kazimier


Tickets are £17.50 plus booking fee www.ticketline.com and www.probe-re


Liverpool’s ‘The Wicked Whispers’ have pulled a lot of the bag inside their first year. Besides doing 2 UK tours, releasing their debut EP on limited 10” vinyl (now goldust!), playing a series of festivals and building a loyal following leading up to their Liverpool and London EP launch shows this summer the bandalso put on their own club night last November called ‘The Butterfly’s Ball and the Grasshopper’s Feast’ at the Static Gallery in their hometown of Liverpool.

The night was their first official show and drew a large amount of attention. ‘The Crazy World of Arthur Brown’ was the special guest alongside The Wicked Whispers. A hand picked selection of local talent in the from of El Toro and Eve Petersen (Ex - The Little Flames) kicked off the evening. Will Sergeant (Echo and The Bunnymen) was on DJ duties whilst visual delights were provided by Howard Be Thy Name (artist, performer and projectionist). The evening was compared by BBC introducing’s Dave Monks topping off a sell out success and offering something a little different to Liverpool’s gig goers.

Almost 12 months on, the band are planning another event and have put together something really special indeed in recruiting Captain Beefheart’s ‘TheMagic Band’ following the death of the good Captain (Don Van Vliet) last year.

‘He’s always been a huge inspiration to me and to Liverpool’ Michael Murphy explains. ‘We were all saddened by his death last year. I couldn’t think of a better special guest than The Magic Band for this years show, so we went and got them.’

This years line-up includes:

THE MAGIC BAND

THE WICKED WHISPERS

THE LUCID DREAM

VISUAL LIGHTSHOW : TOWYN ROBERTS (THE GRATEFUL DEAD/SHACK/THE CORAL)

DJ : PYSCHEDELIC SOUNDS FROM EDGAR ‘SUMMERTYME’ JONES (THE STAIRS/THE JONES’S/FREE PEACE
