Only by 1985, C&CS (Mk III) would be erected once more.



1985 -London- The year in Simon Bonney and Mick Harvey get together and revive the band. C&CS Mk III.

	January 1985 AU Melbourne,recording 2 demos for Mute Records: "One Strip Rider" and "Adventure". Simon Bonney (vocals) and Mick Harvey (all instruments played to a click-track). Engineered by Chris Wyatt. These tracks are released on the "Rarities" album, a tape sold by the band at their live shows during the 2nd half of the 1986. Note: this demo recording could have happened as early as January 1984.

London late 1984. Ex-Birthday Party member Rowland S.Howard is recruited on guitar. After the demise of the Birthday Party in August 1983 Rowland had done basically nothing, except for guesting with Fad Gadget on stage at the Royal Albert Hall, London (on 30-Sep-83 and 01-Oct-83) in support of Siouxsie and the Banshees, joining the same Fad Gadget for the recordings of his "Gag" album in November 1983 and finally guesting at a Kas Product live concert in France in 1984. His brother Harry joins on bass. Harry had replaced Tracy Pew in The Birthday Party at several UK live concerts during April/May 1982 when Tracy was serving time in an Australian prison. Epic Soundtracks (a.k.a. Kevin Paul Godfrey) [of Swell Maps, Red Crayola and Mute Records employee] will only join on drums as of their first live gigs in May 1985. During the life span of Crime and the City Solution (1985-1991), Mick Harvey continues to play an important role in Nick Cave's Bad Seeds. He is deviding his time between Bad Seeds and Crime. As a consequence, Crime only functions around Harvey's other commitments.

He tours the US extensively throughout 1995. From 1996 till 1998 he's working in the US as a truck driver for the film industry, in the same period he also records a third, as yet unreleased, album "Eyes Of Blue" in Detroit. From 1995 till 2000 he's working in Los Angeles in the film industry (as grip and key grip and sometimes acting), also taking classes to become a film director. He returns to Australia in 2001 where he enlists at the Sydney film school. He moves with his family to Canberra working for the governement and studying for a PhD (in regulation/justice/diplomacy). Former band member Chrislo Haas died (at the age of 47) in Berlin on 22/23-Oct-04, from the consequences of a heart failure due to his prolonged alcohol abuse.



2010/2011 -Canberra- Regeneration/Reformation.

The purpose is to perform as well his solo songs as Crime songs. A compilation album of his 3 solo albums will be released [update: has not happened so far, ed.] as well as a Crime and the City Solution compilation CD on Mute Records.

	04-Jul-11 UK Former Crime and the City Solution member Alex Hacke has a talk with Daniel Miller @ Mute records.

	06-Sep-11 AU Simon Bonney calls Mute UK. Crime and the City Solution officially reforms.

	09-Sep-11 AU Simon Bonney announces his new band with some former band members: Bronwyn Adams (violin), Alexander Hacke (guitar) and several new: David Eugene Edwards [Sixteen Horsepower/Woven Hand], Troy Gregory [The Dirtbombs/Simon Bonney band], Matthew Smith [Outrageous Cherry/Simon Bonney band] and Jim White [Dirty Three].

2022/2024 -Australia/Berlin- The year in which the band is again revived after a 10 year hiatus with a new line-up. Touring Europe in the spring (19 dates) and again in the autumn (4 dates).

	16-Oct-21 and 16-Jan-22 The band announces a European/UK tour and a new incarnation. "Before I decided to move [to Berlin], I was in the process of having yet another crack at a PhD, and for a lot of extremely boring reasons I didn't continue with it. But what I was doing was a lot of process spacing, trying to trace micro steps of how to get from point A to B, how did we get here and then you'd trace back to the key events that caused the outcome of the situation we're living with. So, I thought about Berlin looking at it through my sixty-one-year-old eyes, and how can I imagine what it was like when I was in my twenties, and you have this conversation between the creative self because it's through fragments of memories that I remember that period, but can I actually put myself in the position of the person that was living at the time?" Simon Bonney interviewed in Vive Le Rock #97, 2022. Australian (Berlin based) Chris Hughes [Dim Locator, Hugo Race True Spirit, Fatal Shore, Once Upon A time] on drums; British-Belgian Fred -Lyenn- Jacques [Mark Lanagan Band, Dans Dans] on bass; Greek-American (Gerakas, Greece based, after a decade in Brussels, Belgium) Georgio Valentino [aka George Papanikos from the Detroit based The Valentinos] on guitar and Australian (Melbourne based) Donald Baldie [Turkeyneck Lasso, Gus Till, The Moth Body with Sam Sejavka] on guitar. Baron Anastis [Dim Locator] was replaced last minute by Frederic Lyenn Jacques. Mute Records (UK) is preparing a reissue campaign of Crime's Berlin-era catalogue on vinyl and CD, beginning in February of 2023.
