Поездка культурная. The Factory Энди Ворхола уже нет, CBGB закрыт … В каком отеле остановится?!
Вот оно, произведение искуства, музей и кое-что ещё:
Здесь Энди Ворхол снял Chelsea Girls, Сид Вишес зарезал Нэнси, Боб Дилан писал свои песенки и многое многое другое … Теннеси Уильямс, Джаспер Джонс, Эди Седжвик, Нико, Стэнли Кубрик, Пати Смит, Джэнис, Джимми Хендрикс, Коэн … А начиналось всё с Марка Твэна!
Ocean Without a Shore is about the presence of the dead in our lives. The three stone altars in the church of San Gallo become portals for the passage of the dead to and from our world. Presented as a series of encounters at the intersection between life and death, the video sequence documents a succession of individuals slowly approaching out of darkness and moving into the light. Each person must then break through an invisible threshold of water and light in order to pass into the physical world. Once incarnate however, all beings realise that their presence is finite and so they must eventually turn away from material existence to return from where they came. The cycle repeats without end.
Рекомендую. NGV, ground floor. 90 минут. Очень сильно!
“In 1976 Howard formed the infamous Young Charlatans and wrote what is possibly Australia’s most enduring cult hit “Shivers”. One year later, he left to join the Boys Next Door (later The Birthday Party) with Nick Cave.
Upon their arrival in London they received greater critical acclaim than any other Australian band since the Easy Beats. Sadly the band dissolved in 1983.
Since then Rowland has played with Crime & The City Solution, American agent provocateur: Lydia Lunch, a brooding French pop band called Kas Produkt, The Bad Seeds, Barry Adamson, and Primal Scream leading finally to These Immortal Souls a group designed as a vehicle for the many songs Rowland has written over the years.
Not long after his return to Melbourne in 1994, he began to perform a one man show, and in 2000 recorded his first solo album, “Teenage Snuff Film”.”
This performance from November 1999 Australian ABC TV`s show – Studio 22.

Rowland S. Howard вчера играл в Ding Dong Lounge. Mick Harvey, как и 10 лет назад в этом видео, на ударных. Последнее шоу перед записью нового альбома.
И ещё, Mick Harvey, после 25 лет в The Bad Seeds (The Birthday Party, Boys Next Door), обявил о своём уходе из группы. Очень жаль …
А здесь они все вместе, Nick Cave, Rowland Howard и Mick Harvey.
