With over 35 years of experience in the regional music landscape, Tim Livingston is recognized as a significant figure in the punk scene of New York State’s Hudson Valley, as noted by the All Music Guide. The Times Union has also referred to him as an "Albany rock legend." He was a founding member of one of Albany’s earliest punk bands, the Morons, which existed from 1979 to 1982, and he currently leads the acclaimed rock band the Last Conspirators. In 2007, he made a notable return to the music scene with the release of his album WARPARTY. As a "Hudson Valley punk rock pioneer," Livingston took the stage again with The Last Conspirators, who released their second album, “WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN,” in 2010, followed by their third album, A Celebration of Fury, in 2013, and their latest effort, Hold That Thought Forever, in 2016.

WARPARTY received recognition from The Times Union as one of the BEST CDS OF 2007, being described as "the most potent politically charged disc of the year, walking the tightrope between punk passion and polished professionalism." The album was supported by a series of live shows, including a return to LARKfest, the Capital Region’s largest festival, opening for roots-rockers the Blasters, and UK legends New Model Army during their North American tour, which included sold-out performances at the Mercury Lounge in NYC and Maxwells in NJ. Additionally, they opened for the Japanese girl group Shonen Knife, alt-rock icon Mike Watt, and were part of the inaugural Hudson Music Festival at Club Helsinki, among other club and concert appearances. In 2010, The Last Conspirators released a five-song EP titled “When It All Comes Down” on the Driving Rain Music label, which Metroland Magazine recognized as one of the “Best Local Albums of the Year.” The national music publication Big Takeover remarked, "If you want to know where the real songwriters in punk are these days, look no further."

Livingston's journey in music began in 1979 when, at the age of eighteen, he co-founded the Morons with JB Homicide. Under the alias TL Stone, he led the band for over two years, co-writing more than forty songs. The Albany-based punk rock group gained notoriety in the Capital Region for their lively stage performances and satirical takes on social issues, branding themselves as the “Only Band That NEVER Mattered.” Their music was characterized as “Modern Music For A Not So Intelligent World,” driven by a fast punk/pop beat. In a review from 1981, The Times Union described them as “a snottier version of the New York Dolls.” Metroland Magazine praised their first single, noting its connection to the essence of British punk circa 1977 and highlighting "Suburbanite" as a standout track with clever lyrics and impressive arrangement.

Initially conceived as a party joke, the Morons began with the song “Chewing on Tin Foil” and built their repertoire with tracks like “John T Law,” “I Got Television,” “Here Come The Cats with the Jetpacks!”, “BOY,” and “Ballad of a Moron.” They played house parties and gigs throughout the area, opening for acts such as the Cramps, the Stranglers, the Motels, Gary Myrick & the Figures, SVT, and Blotto at venues like J.B. Scotts, as well as at early capital region clubs including 288 Lark, the Chateau Lounge, Hullabaloo, Blue Angel, Towne Tavern, and Bogarts.

Following the dissolution of the Morons, Livingston shifted his focus to writing and recording demos, some of which were later re-recorded to create the 1993 album Beneath The Apocalyptic Rain, released under the band name GhostRunner. The album featured a blend of energetic rock tracks and introspective ballads, garnering acclaim from Buzz Magazine, which stated Livingston was “back with a vengeance.” New York Roxx Magazine also celebrated it as one of their “favorite releases of the year,” likening it to “Pink Floyd B-sides played by the legendary punk band the Sex Pistols,” and predicting it would become a cult classic. Despite the positive reception, GhostRunner's time was short-lived, with only five live performances before the band faded from view, leaving behind a single powerful album.

Since the formation of the Last Conspirators, Livingston has remained active in showcasing and recording with the band. He also serves as the Director of Sales and Publicity, as well as a product manager for the reissue record label Sundazed Music, a role he has held since 1996.
