You mean You Am I Ron. I prefer their early stuff, but that all ended when they decided to call their fourth album "You Am I's Fourth Album" and Tim Rogers solo stuff is crap, just like Jimmy Barnes from Cold Chisel and Mark Seymour from Hunters And Collectors. Mi-Sex is Kiwi, and what the hell are you doing mentioning Australian Crawl, Noiseworks and 1927?

I know Rowland S Howard, he released his first solo album "Teenage Snuff Film" a couple of years ago, great version of Billy Idol's "white wedding" on it and did the soundtrack to "He Died With A Felafel In His Hand" (the book is better). Met up with him two months ago, said he was going to Sydney to do a four track E.P. which would be great, except he's "tied to the tracks", don't know if he will ever stop, but he is the sweetest guy you could meet, but i never want to get involved in his world. This is his WEBSITE.
I agree about Teenage Snuff Film, one of the best albums of the '90s in my opinion, it's a shame he doesn't release more stuff. So did Rowland say that he DIDN'T go to Sydney to record 'cos he was "tied to the tracks", or you just thought he wouldn't make it? Just curious 'cos I've been waiting for a follow up to TSF for years and was hoping he'd get around to it soon. Website is pretty ace as well, I wonder if Rowland is into it at all... I've been checking it out for awhile and their news section says there should be a double 7 inch upcoming so that's good news.
No, he said he was going to Sydney, but by the look of him i didn't think he was going anywhere, but this is two months ago we are talking about, and he could have cleaned himself up by now, which he has done dozens of times in the past, although the last time i saw him about a month ago he looked like crap, but he still said he was going to Sydney, haven't seen him since, so i guess he is there.

Nah, their just dead and buried now.
Nikki Sudden added this to his journal yesterday - might explain his appearance, hope all is well:
First things first… I finally spoke with Rowland Howard yesterday… And found out that he can’t do the Italian tour. Rowland has a slight health problem and to visit the hospital twice a week for the next few months. He said he’d love to come over to Europe next year, but it’s just not possible at the moment. We also said that we’d like to work together again. Rowland has written the material for his second solo album, the follow up to his brilliant Teenage Snuff Movie – the best thing he’s ever done!
The Models were quite good as well. Wawanee is agreed on being crap now. Killing Heidi, Modo Rock, Powderfinger, And for some more NO like sound, there's Cut Copy.
and some more: The Angles, Rose Tattoo, Powderfinger, Spiderbait, Gangajang, Redgim,, Screaming Jets, Goanna.

That's great news (i must point out here that i am not a close personal friend of Rowland, we just bump into each other from time to time) and TSF is the best thing he has ever done. You know what was so great about the album? i couldn't buy it here, i had to get it imported from the U.K. thru Mute Records, so much for supporting Aussie music.

or Paul Kelly & the Dots or Paul Kelly & the coloured Girls or just plain Paul Kelly. I still think he has the worst voice ever, but the man has written some wonderful songs over the last 20+ years.

Yeah, there alright, i have "Neon Ballroom", which is good, but the best thing that the singer, Daniel Johns is doing at the moment is with a band called The Dissociatives, great stuff.
Hey kids! Speaking of Aussie music,
DEAD CAN DANCE IS REFORMING!
New album and tour planned for next year, according to the website of Her Holiness, Lisa Gerrard (in addition to a number of new film scores by her). If they come to this continent, or at least my portion of it, I'll be there with chimes on.

As you should.
