Rowland S Howard - Shivers

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

Quote from http://www.abc.net.au/tv/studio22/pro...
"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.

Rowland S. Howard - Vocals, guitar

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

[Mouldytone]

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.

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

smart strong song

[smanticus]

They were in The Birthday Party together.

To the idiot that thinks this is a bad cover version and thinks Nick Cave's vocals with the Boys Next Door is the original, do your research-The Young Charlatan's with Rowland (not Roland idiot,) on vocals is the original-Rowland S. Howard is a saint of music in my eyes and ignorant fools such as yourself need to keep your trap shut and fuck off...RIP Rowly...❤

If you are a fan of R.S Howard you should listen to this. 'John Schroeder - Explosive Corrosive Joseph'.

[jkd914]

whats the relationship between him and nick cave? or theres nothing to be connected?

[cprtn]

JESUS CHRIST will return, that's for sure ! Start a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST and you will be saved

[kevin winter]

boys next door wasnt the original, rowland wrote and recorded this song with his band before it. pretty sure he sang it too.

[dominicksouthwell]

'she makes me feel so ill at ease, my heart is really on it's knees' such a powerful lyric

[myJointproductions]
