Biographical insight into the life of Aussie punk-rock icon Rowland Howard, from his emergence in the late ‘70s to his death in late 2009. Includes interviews with Nick Cave, Lydia Lunch and Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth.
"Rowland Howard appeared on the early Melbourne punk scene like a phantom out of Kafkaesque Prague or Bram Stoker’s Dracula. A beautifully gaunt and gothic aristocrat, the unique distinctive fury of his guitar style shot him directly into the imagination of a generation.

[compiled from] recent interviews, archival interviews and other fascinating and original footage." (Official Synopsis)
