Music You Should Listen To: THOMAS

The first time I saw Thom Gill was at a Final Fantasy concert. He was doing back-up for violinist/wizard Owen Pallett, playing guitar, percussion, and back-up vocals. I have recently discovered that Gill has his own band, called THOMAS.

The music that this band makes sounds churning blend of soul, funk, jazz, and electronic influences. The constant experiment in genre-mashing is propelled by skillful guitar work and soulful vocals. Their first single "Don't Think, Just Hate", sounds like a strange mash of 90's guitar rock and 80's pop crooning. To say the least it will be very interesting to see what this band comes up with.

Check out Thom Gill's sweet dance moves in the video for "Don't Think, Just Hate" and check out THOMAS on their Myspace page.
