The Stowaways

The Stowaways were a three-piece from outta Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. The band consisted of the two Rowswell brothers and Mick Lister who were all school chums. When the band recorded the "I Wanna Be Me" 3-Track EP they were still at school and their teacher Andrew Bolton actually paid for it to be recorded. 1000 copies were pressed by the Supermusic label who were from the York area. Sadly due to poor distribution only 200 copies were sold at the time and the remaining 800 copies sat in the teachers loft for over twenty years gathering dust. In their existence. the band spent most of their time building up a nice little local following but never really made it out of their surrounding area. Sometime in 1981, the band split and went their separate ways. A few years later, Mick Lister resurfaced in The Truth alongside ex Nine Below Zero front man Dennis Greaves. [SOURCE: BORED TEENAGERS]
