After enjoying the critical success of "Be What You Want", touring Australia extensively, and even supporting Morrissey during his first-ever solo Australian tour, Tow joined The Brian Jonestown Massacre in 2003. He contributed two tracks to their album, "...And This Is Our Music." Tow's opening track "Starcleaner" later also appeared on the BJM retrospective "Tepid Peppermint Wonderland". In the same year, UK-based Fire Records invited The Lovetones to contribute to the James Joyce Chamber Music project alongside Mercury Rev, Sonic Youth, and REM's Peter Buck. In 2004, The Lovetones released the "Stars" EP, which coincided with their support of The Brian Jonestown Massacre on their tour of Australia.
