Dave Rowbotham (1958 – 8 November 1991) was an English rock musician who played guitar and bass with various Manchester bands in the 1970s and the 1980s, and as studio musician. ==Biography== Born in Didsbury, Manchester, England, he adopted the hippie lifestyle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Durutti Column Biography 1978-1991 by Mark Prendergast )〕 During the punk era, he, alongside drummer Chris Joyce, played in a band called Fast Breeder and was managed by Alan Erasmus, who later cofounded Factory Records with Tony Wilson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fast Breeder )〕 In 1978, the pair, alongside Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias bassist Tony Bowers, singer Phil Rainford (replaced after months by Colin Sharp), and former Nosebleeds guitarist Vini Reilly, founded the post-punk band The Durutti Column. However, the five-piece line-up did not last long, and after releasing ''A Factory Sample'', a compilation by various artists which contained two of their songs, Rowbotham, alongside Sharp, Bowers, and Joyce, left Reilly. Rowbotham and the latter two formed The Mothmen. During the early days of The Mothmen, he also rejoined Reilly in Pauline Murray And The Invisible Girls, with then ex-Penetration vocalist Pauline Murray, playing on their eponymous album. With The Mothmen, he released two albums, ''Pay Attention'' (On-U Sound, 1981) and ''One Black Dot'' (1982). By this time, he had also formed Motivation, along with ex-Buzzcocks bassist Steve Garvey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manchesyer District Music Archive )〕 By 1981 or early 1982, shortly before the release of ''One Black Dot'', he left The Mothmen. After that and Motivation, he was played on sessions for Factory Records. On 8 November 1991, Rowbotham was found dead at his Burnage flat. He had been murdered with a lathe hammer. In his memory, the Madchester band Happy Mondays wrote a song called "Cowboy Dave", released on the album ''Yes Please!'', in 1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dave Rowbotham — Bludgeoned by Hammer )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dave Rowbotham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
