In 1989 his first solo EP, Charlotte's Room, was released by Mark E. Smith's label Cog Sinister. One year later Paperhouse Records put out his first solo album Backwoods Crucifixion, and in 1993 Shoenfelt's second album God is The Other Face of The Devil was released by Humbug Records. He also opened events for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in UK.

Since 1995 Shoenfelt has lived in Prague, where he put together his current band, Phil Shoenfelt & Southern Cross. With Southern Cross he has recorded five albums to date (Blue Highway, Dead Flowers For Alice, Ecstatic, Paranoia.com and The Bell Ringer) as well as one EP, Electric Garden.

Howard song on The Birthday Party's Junkyard LP. Based in Berlin, Dim Locator play a heavy, repetitive, riff-based rock music, inspired by 1970s kraut rock bands such as Can, Neu and La Düsseldorf.
