Rowland S Howard - Shivers

Vale Rowland S Howard......
24th October 1959 - 30th December 2009

Quote from http://www.abc.net.au/tv/studio22/programs/s283005.htm
"In 1976 Howard formed the infamous Young Charlatans and wrote what is possibly Australia's most enduring cult hit "Shivers". One year later, he left to join the Boys Next Door (later The Birthday Party) with Nick Cave.
Upon their arrival in London they received greater critical acclaim than any other Australian band since the Easy Beats. Sadly the band dissolved in 1983.
Since then Rowland has played with Crime & The City Solution, American agent provocateur: Lydia Lunch, a brooding French pop band called Kas Produkt, The Bad Seeds, Barry Adamson, and Primal Scream leading finally to These Immortal Souls a group designed as a vehicle for the many songs Rowland has written over the years.
Not long after his return to Melbourne in 1994, he began to perform a one man show, and in 2000 recorded his first solo album, "Teenage Snuff Film"."

This performance from November 1999 Australian ABC TV`s show - Studio 22.
Interviewer Clinton Walker.
Musicians:
Rowland S. Howard - Vocals, guitar
Brian Hooper - Bass
Mick Harvey - Drums!
Edward Clayton Jones - Keyboard

The original "Boys Next Door" recording of the song on the 1979 album - "Door,Door".

How about giving the man some dignity and at least spell his first name correctly, i.e. Rowland?

[Mouldytone]

@Gwankada Many apologies. I used the incorrect spelling used on the clip. Thank`s for pointing out my dumb-ar*e mistake which I`ve now corrected.

[GEEMELLOW]

He had lots of other great songs. One of the greatest song writers this country has ever produced. RIP Roland.

[heych1000]

real talent never ever comes in a pretty package...

[deadpeasantmoon]

@GEEMELLOW I wouldn't attribute his artistic success to any country.

@registradus as if I give a fuck, and I don't care if I am a boor, now piss off. And stop fucking replying to my name.

[registradus]

@Johnnystrychnine I'm not the one that can't tell the difference between Nick Cave and Tex Perkins.

[easytears]

@alanthomwells ahahahah the idiot you are!

[RussellThePumpkin]

I can see why he dislikes playing it.

[Johnnystrychnine]

@registradus How? How is it that you are an idiot? How? Tell me how you became an idiot.

[Johnnystrychnine]

@registradus Ok you win, I'm terrified.
