"Shut me off,
Shut me down,
Stop me if you can.
My love I'll show you nothing.
I'm a misanthropic man ! "

Sleep Alone Lyrics by Rowland S. Howard.

"From myth to legend Rowland Howard appeared on the early Melbourne punk scene like a phantom out of Kafkaesque Prague or Bram Stoker’s Dracula. A beautifully gaunt and gothic aristocrat, the unique distinctive fury of his guitar style shot him directly into the imagination of a generation. He was impeccable, the austerity of his artistry embodied in his finely wrought form, his obscure tastes and his intelligently wry wit. He radiated a searing personal integrity that never seemed to tarnish".

When I first listened to TSF, I understood perfectly well, that practically everything I 'd listened to was shit

Sadness and emptiness when a talented musician leaves this world. I made an entry here back in Feb 2009 after I attended one of his live concerts at the Nick Cave curated All Tomorrow’s Parties here in Sydney on Cockatoo Island. He was the stand out for me personally. I will add more photos from that concert when I scan the negs to show here. Here is one that I have already scanned and previously shown. I found a lovely eulogy to Rowland here. Julie has a great podcast on her site also. Ok, I’ve drunk too much and playing his music over and over but fuck it. People like Rowland lie unknown. Why do we honour people sometimes only after they are gone.
