ROWLAND S. HOWARD - EN VEDETTE (Rock & Folk - April 2020)

Australian punk and proto-grunge cult heroes The Scientists, who formed back in 1981, have just announced Negativity, their first album in 35 years. It follows their 9H20.SiO2 EP which the band released in 2019 following their first ever U.S. shows in 2018. The album will be out June 11 via In the Red (preorder).

J.P Shilo's new album Jubjoté will be released on the 25th June 2021 via Heavy Machinery Records Pre-order vinyl here ~ jpshilo.bandcamp.com/album/jubjot

Parlor Snakes a un pied de chaque côté de l’Atlantique. Partagé entre la France et les Etats-Unis, le groupe libère un rock racé et sexy où se télescopent garage, blues et influences psyché. Que du bon en somme, à déguster comme il se doit au cours d’une session Walking the Line ! Direction donc La Macérienne, à Charleville-Mézières.

A series of digital concerts from the iconic Hamer Hall stage, featuring a lineup of home-grown musos. Streaming to you on Thursdays from the best seat in the house, your couch.

Le groupe parisien sort 'Disaster Serenades' , troisième album plus sombre et sophistiqué. L'avenir s'annonce radieux, n'était cette satanée affaire de confinement.

J.P. Shilo, monsieur « strangeness » Pour l’hommage à Rowland initié par Mick Harvey, Chris Hughes a tout naturellement été invité à jouer les morceaux de These Immortal Souls à la batterie. Mais c’est l’Australien J.P. Shilo qui sort le plus du lot parmi ces honorables « tributeurs ».

Quand il est question de rock australien, la boussole tourne un peu dans tous les sens. Existe-t-il un métrage commun pour mesurer les talents de King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, INXS, Tame Impala, de The Saints ou des Bad Seeds ? Et taut-il prendre en compte la Nouvelle Zélande de Connan Mockasin et des Datsuns ? Le simple fait de poser ces questions est une manière d’y répondre ; la majorité des groupes précités, pour être placés sur la grande carte du rock, ont du s’exiler à Londres ou labourer les terres européennes ; il est vrai un peu plus fertiles que le bush australien. Un homme, un seul, a fait plus pour ce continent perdu tout en bas à droite sur la planisphère que tous les autres : Rowland S. Howard, le seul vrai déboussolé derrière un nombre de groupes si importants que l’histoire, jusque là, n’a gravé son nom dans la stèle qu’au crayon gris.

Mick Harvey has announced a tour throughout October and November 2019 with dates split into two separate and very special performances: The Songs of Serge Gainsbourg and a double bill with close collaborator J.P. Shilo which will see Harvey perform songs from across his solo albums. The Songs of Serge Gainsbourg dates, which start in France, will feature Mick Harvey, J.P. Shilo, Xanthe Waite, James Johnston, Toby Dammit and Yoyo Röhm performing Harvey’s interpretations from across four album releases which saw Harvey translating the work of Gainsbourg, starting in 1995 with Intoxicated Man through to Intoxicated Women (2017). At the end of October (with three UK shows in Newcastle, London and Glasgow) Mick Harvey will present songs from his four solo albums, One Man’s Treasure (2005), Two of Diamonds (2007), Sketches from the Book of the Dead (2011) and Four (2013). For this section of the tour, the former Bad Seed will join forces on a double bill with his close collaborator J.P. Shilo (Hungry Ghosts / Rowland S. Howard / The Blackeyed Susans) and a band including Glenn Lewis (Cambodian Space Project) on bass and Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) on drums. Shilo will be performing material from his new album Invisible You due for European release in October while Harvey will take the opportunity to include selections from the recent album The Fall and Rise of Edgar Bourchier and the Horrors of War , his collaboration with Christopher Richard Barker (Mute, 2018). One Man’s Treasure and Two of Diamonds will be released on vinyl for the first time in November 2019.
