TENDER PREY & THE TRAIN WRECK OF 1987
‘Nineteen eighty-seven, it was a disastrous year ‘ – Mick Harvey
“Yes. ‘Tender Prey’ took a long time… Altogether there was a lot of wasted time and a lot of illness. I can’t really remember how Tender Prey is.”
- Blixa Bargeld (Johnston 222)
‘It was all at a peak when we started Tender Prey, really hitting it, especially the speed, which was real motherfucker. Tender Prey was like the end of me for a while.’ – Tony Cohen (Johnston 222)
‘Everyone was desperate for me to come back because he was in trouble and a lot of people were really scared…
- Anita Lane (Johnston 215)

to the edge of night: Rowland S Howard
Rowland S. Howard played Prince Bandroom in St. Kilda on Friday night with friend and former Bad Seed Mick Harvey on drums. By all accounts it was a success and Rowland was pleased at the outpouring of love for him. Due to Rowland’s condition during the recent recording of his Pop Crimes album, there was some concern about his being able to perform live at all. As Rowland himself reveals in a recent interview with Simon Sweetman, he is very ill, waiting for a liver transplant that could extend his life.
We send prayers, love, and hope to Rowland as he continues his harrowing journey with advanced illness.
What follows is a snip from the Prince Bandroom review, Deb’s gig comments and photos, and links to Pop Crimes, interview, and Rowland’s Oct 22nd Sydney show.
