About ShowTrans
THE START OF THE JOURNEY
In the late 1980’s ShowTrans founder James purchased his first rigid body truck along with a pa/lighting system. James toured with some of the most iconic Aussie bands of their era; The RADIATORS, SPY V SPY, CHOIRBOYS, DRAGON, SCREAMING JETS & GRINSPOON. Being the truck driver himself, his knowledge of Australian highways, back roads & side streets leading to the most iconic clubs, bars, theatres in all the various towns and cities was impeccable.
MOVING FORWARD
By the late 90’s ShowTrans had moved into international bands touring with local promoters and tour managers. The fleet of trucks was growing with greater demand for “one truck tours” around regional and mainstream Australia. By the late 2000’s outdoor festivals gained popularity and trucking was in high demand, which saw the growth of the ShowTrans fleet of trucks and trailers expand to meet the quota.
KEEP ON TRUCKIN
The music touring business has grown with a strong cast of people in the music industry from smaller companies thru to the biggest companies, with friends along the way helping ShowTrans become bigger & stronger to strive for excellence in the future. As long as there’s artists who dream to be bigger, we will always follow their dream and grow with them .
