The legendary, theatrical, fiery, and psychedelic Crazy World of Arthur Brown returns to The Studio, marking almost 10 years (since October 2015) since he last blew the roof off the venue—and we are super excited about that.
THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN
https://www.thegodofhellfire.com/
Arthur Brown is synonymous with his 1968 hit “Fire” and the Hammond-driven “Crazy World” lineup that spawned it. However, his ‘God of Hellfire’ burned out fast, and in 1970, he returned with a new project: the prog-festival freak-show Kingdom Come, followed by a varied solo career. Those initial four band albums—by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and by Kingdom Come—are thrilling, as are Brown’s cameos on other people’s projects.
Best known for his flamboyant theatrical performances and his powerful, wide-ranging operatic voice, he has been a major influence on a wide range of musicians due to his outstanding vocal ability and wild stage persona. Brown is considered a pioneer of shock rock and progressive rock and has influenced heavy metal music.
He has been associated with Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Frank Zappa, Hawkwind, Klaus Schulze, and Alice Cooper, and made cameo appearances in the cult films The Committee and Tommy. His countless collaborations include The Alan Parsons Project, The Stranglers, and The Prodigy.
His best-known single, “Fire,” hit number 1 on the UK Singles Chart and in Canada, and reached number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The album The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown achieved top ten success on both sides of the Atlantic. Following “Fire,” the press often referred to Brown as “The God of Hellfire,” in reference to the song’s iconic opening line.
Arthur shows no signs of stopping or slowing down and continues to record and release hugely inspiring music, including his most recent release Long, Long Road (2022) and the launch of his new multimedia show, A Human Perspective.
