|One coming from the US, one from Belgium, one from Beijing, and one from New Zealand. (There is also a duo comprised of Carrie Brownstein and Lois Maffeo called Tommy, and they’ve only recorded a song called “Go Sonics”) Tommy: US|Pop-punk band from Ukiah, CA with a penchant for gang vocals. Comprised of: Tim Parks - Guitar, Vocals; Christian Freeman - Drums; Luke Slinkert - Vox, Guitar and Chad Goodin - Bass, Vocals and signed to independent label Bound By The Black Rag records. They kick it. Tommy: Belgium|Songwriter, Tommy Donald Colin writes his songs, his words and composes his arrangements on his own, creating a sensitive sound directed towards melody, giving a positive energy while remaining cool. Then he leaves his roots, folk, rock, oriental or still electro, and surrounds himself with his musicians Dominique Djian (keys), Olivier Duck Calmeyn (bass) and Benoit Fix Derycke (drums) with whom a genuine band spirit has arisen. Tommy: Beijing|Tommy is a 4 piece rock band that originated in Beijing. All 4 met as expats living overseas and formed in early 2005. Members include Joe Bissell (guitar, vocals), David Su (drums), Mitchell Marecki (bass), Chris Suderman (Keyboards, backing vocals). Their style involves extensive jams, fusing of many genres into rock (suck as jazz, and even Indian melodies), and unorthodox stage shows. Tommy has recently had an offer to sign to a record label in Beijing which they had to refuse due to legal complications. Tommy: New Zealand|Tommy brings together the moods of reggae, rock, soul and a dash of pop in a melodic melting pot to form their ‘folk roots’ sound. Comfortably sitting alongside the adult contemporary music of Jack Johnson and the John Butler Trio, Tommy’s sound is rooted in soothing melodies and flowing piano lines which meld in an organic blend that is unmistakably from Aotearoa.| |
