Steve Towson & The Conscripts' news and upcoming events:

  • Steve is currently planning his CD Premiere for the last "Steve Towson & The Conscripts" release. The event is happening in Brisbane on 16 February, before Steve heads overseas again to South-East Asia and moves onto a new musical direction. More event details on the gigs page. New music will soon be available here, but for a preview scoot to www.mp3.com.au/stevetowson.

  • Thanks to all speakers, bands and volunteers who performed and helped at "Sir Joh Resigns - 20 Years To The Day" event on 1 Dec 07. The event marked the 20th anniversary to the day of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen being forced to resign as Premier of Queensland, after a repressive reign characterised by institutionalised corruption and a gerrymander electoral system. He lead his government in attacks on indigenous rights, freedom of speech / public assembly rights, the environment, unions, the arts and cultural landmarks. During his time as Premier, police officers were also infamously involved in illegal gambling, prostitution and drugs.

  • Read reviews of SHAH MAT (Steve's album with backing band The Conscripts) on Steve's profile page. Buy SHAH MAT online at Skinnys or Rockinghorse.

  • The Towson / My Precious split EP, The Venom In My Veins is still available at indie music stores through Australia, Asia and beyond. Get 'em before they sell out! The EP features three songs from each band, with Singaporeans My Precious delivering their punchy melodic 'nocore' in style.

  • Australian and on-line fans of Steve Towson should keep an ear out for Short.Fast.Loud on the national youth broadcaster Triple J. You can also catch Steve's songs on Home And Hosed, or scoot here to watch the filmclip, edited by filmmaker Judd Tilyard, to "A Love Like Water".

  • Steve uses Tym Guitars, custom guitar and pedal manufacturer to the stars. Check it out.
