Rowland S. Howard Laneways
Posted by Several Sins on 2013-10-31
That's right, laneways. Back in September, artist Casey Tosh put the finishing touches on his own unofficial Rowland S. Howard laneway in Ballarat, about an hour west of Melbourne. The mural features a caricature of Rowland, along with former bandmate Nick Cave, and references to his career in music.
The photo to the right was taken by Lou Ridsdale. More info and photos of this tribute can be found here at the web site of Ballarat's local paper The Courier. The unnamed laneway is located off of Webster Street, between Frank Street and Loch Avenue, as pictured on this map by point A.
While the laneway in St Kilda was approved to be named after Rowland several months ago, VicRoads refused to grant an exemption to its rule against full names, offering a choice between Rowland Laneway and Howard Laneway. Nick Haines insists he will appeal this decision.
Updates!
Posted by Several Sins on 2013-08-22First! The Rowland S Howard Tribute Page not only met its original goal of $300, but actually raised more than $500 for the Mirabel Foundation in Rowland's name! Prizes have already been awarded, but the donation page is still currently open for anyone else who would like to contribute. Thank you, everyone!
Second! For those of you who have missed it, the Tribute Page has been holding a series of fan Q&As with Rowland's friends and family. So far, participants include Harry Howard and Genevieve McGuckin! They are currently collecting questions for their next Q&A with Mick Harvey!
You can also find more stories and interviews in their notes section.
Third! Rob Wellington (Little Murders and International Exiles) has constructed a rough history of St Kilda, with a focus on the era surrounding the Crystal Ballroom, which is featured here on the St Kilda Music Walking Tours web site.
