Interview: Roland S. Howard of This Immortal Soul with Che - 1988
Roland S. Howard was one of the early members of The Birthday Party, the Band of Nick Cave and Mick Harvey (formerly: The Boys Next Door). Roland’s very unique way of tuning/reverbing and playing his guitar, a Fender Jaguar, made him one of the all time heroes of Australian Indie- and Punk Rock Music.
The Birthday Party moved from Australia to London - and quit in 1984 (only to be revived later). Roland moved on and founded These Immortal Souls in 1987 along with his brother Harry, Kevin Paul Godfrey (brother of Nikki Sudden, better know as Epic Soundtracks, died 05. Nov. 1997) and then GF Genevieve McGuckin.
These Immortal Souls collaborated with Nikki Sudden, Barry Adamson, Einstürzende Neubauten, Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Fad Gadget and many others more. In 1995, Roland left Europe and moved back to Australia.
His last longplayer to be published was „Popcrimes“ in 2009.
Roland Stuart Howard died aged 50 on December 30, 2009 in Melbourne a month after his last gig there (Okt. 30th) together with Mick Harvey on drums.

I’m sorry that I am not allowed to show the video that went along with the interview. I am also not allowed to view the exact complaint. Nor who exactly claimed to have rights I supposedly infringed. This platform says, the whole video may be watched in some parts of the world - unfortunately not in the country I currently live in.
If someone owns rights, for me, it makes no sense to NOT make money by exposing your purchasable work of art to the consumer world. And of course I know thru a lifetime in the biz that it is rarely the artist who owns the „rights“ to his own work. At least this is the case in most of the English speaking parts of the world. Google for: Urheber Recht.
You’ll find clips of Roland’s music all over this platform. Maybe someone can explain to me, why I am not allow to show a vintage video as a documentary of vintage pre-MTV days - btw. technically, a tool for advertising/promotion - while others here, on the same platform, upload whole albums without having anything to do with the artist, even earning money via ad-breaks. Anyways.
This piece was first aired in my show „off beat“ on Tele5 late summer 1988.
