Notes:

This was the album launch for Rowland S. Howards 'Teenage Snuff Film' album. Rowland's band consisted of Mick Harvey (Bad Seeds, Birthday Party) on drums and Brian Hooper (Beasts of Bourbon) on bass. There were two support acts, the Sea Scouts and the excellent Hungry Ghosts (who were also launching an album I think).

Rowland's set was plagued with technical problems and some of the gaps and onstage banter between songs has been surgcally removed. Some however have been left behind as I think they add to the flavour of the gig. Note that although the sound quality is quite good, this was an early attempt at recording (for me) and I made the mistake of moving around a bit and standing too close to people who were talking. The volume also starts out very loud and stablises in the first few minutes.
