JIM DICKSON – COELUM VERSUS

Citadel Records is well pleased to announce the release of Coelum Versus, the debut solo album from Jim Dickson. Not an immediately recognizable name perhaps, but Jim has been a long time contributor to the Australian and international Indie music scene. His career as a bass player has spanned 40 years from the early days of 70’s punk in Brisbane (Australia) with the Survivors to most recently touring the world as a member of Radio Birdman. In-between he has been a member of such iconic bands as Sydney’s Passengers, London based Barracudas and back again in Sydney, The New Christs. He has also played and recorded with well known Australian artists Louis Tillett, Deniz Tek, Charlie Owen, Paul Berwick, Russell Murch and Steve Lucas. Assembled for the album are a diverse group of local Sydney musicians; Rebecca Hancock (Ed Kuepper, Watusi Now and solo artist in her own right with The Prison Wives) on guitar and backing vocals; Bow Campbell (Front End Loader, The Dead Marines) on guitar and backing vocals; Nick Fisher (Wet Taxis, late 1980’s New Christs, Louis Tillett, Bughouse) on drums and percussion; and Brent Williams (The New Christs, Zambian Goat Herders, Vvovos) on keyboards. Deniz Tek, Paul Berwick and Suzy Goodwin make special guest appearances as does Nick’s son Carlo Fisher.
