From Pitchfork...
Rowland S. Howard, the Australian guitarist who played with Nick Cave in both the Boys Next Door and the influential post-punk outfit the Birthday Party, died from liver cancer this morning, December 30. He was 50.
Great guitarist who made great music. It speaks volumes that despite The Birthday Party splitting so long ago, people still care. Without him, who knows where Nick Cave would've got? R.I.P.
