The Crazy World of Arthur Brown will celebrate 46 years of the massive worldwide hit FIRE
in 2014 with a brand new live show including the legendary fire helmet and rock n roll the-
atricals. 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.
New Album ‘Zim Zam Zim’ is due for release soon following a successful pledge campaign that
has shown incredible support for The God Of Hellfire 45 years after the release of his first hit
single. Tracks from the album are being toured in 2013 and 14 across the UK and Europe,
alongside demonstrations of a new pioneering technology – a thought control helmet that
enable Arthur to creat music with the power of his mind!
