Howard, the guitarist for The Boys Next Door and the Birthday Party. Spent time in Berlin, later would appear in the Crime & the City Solution and These Immortal Souls. He played a Fender Jaguar and Fender amp that I have seen in a museum in Melbourne some time ago. He is instrumental in the post-punk sound of Nick Cave, both some of the most revered musicians in Australian music. Lived the rock & roll lifestyle so greatly that he died of alcoholism-related live cancer. Doctors stated that in his forties, he had the liver that a seventy-four-year-old alcoholic would have.
