Rowland S. Howard (1959-2009) was, at the crossroads between the seventies and eighties, one of the members of the group The Birthday Party; specifically, the Gothic aristocrat, "a ghost straight out of Kafka's Prague or Bram Stoker's Dracula."

Although Rowland S. Howard did not become the most famous of the band (that role was won by Nick Cave), he did make an impact due to his peculiar use of distortion on the electric guitar, creating a unique and enormously influential sound. For that reason alone, this tribute is justified, which humanizes his genius through a story full of admiration. Nick Cave, Henry Rollins, Wim Wenders and Thurston Moore, among others, celebrate the dark prince.
