Ian Rilen (I-94 Bar)
Melbourne Age "Rose Tattoo Legend dies", 30 October 2006
IanRilen's first substantial band was Band of Light, a heavy blues outfit fronted by ex-La De Da Phil Key in the early '70s.
An IanRilen solo album "Love is Murder" was one of the best things to come out in Australia in 2001, showcasing battered, Tom Waits-like vocals, disarmingly honest lyrics that cut the quick and a sympathetic backing band dipping into blues and skeletal, alt.country with equal ease.
Ian's voice is quiet, his manner initially withdrawn, but he's a notoriously slow starter in interviews, we're told, especially so early in the day.
When Ian loved someone, everyone knew, thought about it, had an opinion on it and became part of what Ian was doing.Ian's obvious sexual peregrinations continued and in the midst of it all Stephanie kept a fine home, fed endless guests and cared thoroughly for her children through those times.
Her love for Ian was great and somehow hinged on the growth that she experienced by being with him.
