Australia Music

Pop Crimes

Part of Foxtel Festival Hub series.

Rowland S. Howard was arguably one of the most influential guitarists Australia has ever produced.

He created a sonic language of sharp, brutal intensity unheard of in this country, in bands such as The Birthday Party, Crime & the City Solution and These Immortal Souls. By his untimely death in 2009, Rowland’s career had spanned more than 30 years, leaving a blazing legacy that continues to inspire artists and musicians across the globe.

“Rowland was Australia’s most unique, gifted and uncompromising guitarist.”

Nick Cave

On what would have been his 55th birthday, Pop Crimes brings together original members of his bands and key collaborators from his illustrious career for two special concert events – an electrifying celebration of an Australian music icon.
