COLD CHISEL/ STEVE PRESTWICH BAND
www.steveprestwich.com

Steve Prestwich is an Artist in the true sense of the word. Not only a musician (drums, guitars), Steve is a fine songwriter (When The War Is Over, Forever Now), producer and photographer. His music isn't constructed in a studio - it comes from the heart and is heard best live - a true sign of real music.

Born in Liverpool, England, to a musician father and poet mother, Steve is the eldest of six brothers. The family moved to Adelaide, South Australia when Steve was 17. He joined a band soon thereafter and the rest is history. Cold Chisel went on to become Australia's most loved and respected rock 'n' roll band.

When Chisel called it a day in 1983/4, Steve joined Little River Band and toured worldwide. He then left LRB and continued writing and playing music - his songs being recorded by some of Australia's finest musicians. And on the side he has played in the solo bands of his old Chisel mates Ian Moss and Don Walker.

Steve's debut album, Since You've Been Gone was finally released in August of 2000 to critical acclaim and enthusiastic fans. He formed a live band and played a number of shows in Sydney in 2001, culminating in a Live DVD release recorded in Sydney's legendary blues nightclub, The Basement. Roll with the Rhythm... was recorded over three nights in Winter of 2001, and brings together 20 of Steve's best songs, spanning from the Chisel days right up to his solo album.

In 2003 - just as Steve was preparing for his second album - Cold Chisel got together again and toured nationally with their Ringside concert, forcing the album onto the backburner. It was a sell out tour and the band released a live DVD ‘Ringside’, upon which his Sleishman kit can be seen and heard in beautiful surround sound.
