Tomás Ford divides his personality between synth-disco auteur and one man punk rock maelstrom. Having built an audience around the country over five years of independent touring around Australia, he’s had a huge 2009 running laps around the country, first as part of the Big Day Out’s Lilyworld, then as special guest on Birds Of Tokyo’s sold out April tour and his own epic tour in September, not to mention taking out a WAMi Award for Best Electronic Producer and releasing the Bash Myself EP, a taster for his second album next year.

Tomás Ford divides his personality between synth-disco auteur and one man punk rock maelstrom. Having built an audience around the country over five years of independent touring around Australia, he’s had a huge 2009 running laps around the country, first as part of the Big Day Out’s Lilyworld, then as special guest on Birds Of Tokyo’s sold out April tour and his own epic tour in September, not to mention taking out a WAMi Award for Best Electronic Producer and releasing the Bash Myself EP, a taster for his second album next year.
In a cluttered hallway-sized studio in his Fremantle home, he spends his nights crafting hyperanalytical pop songs and irreverent dancefloor remixes. By day, he focuses on keeping his show on the road; collaborating on gaudy neon costumes, booking tours, blogging feverishly and designing his own distinctive poster and cover art.
When the weekend hits, he puts on irreverent, energetic, borderline psychotic live dance music shows. He runs around the bar, climbing over everything in sight, flinging between costume changes, pulling off impossible dance moves and forcing himself into the comfort zones of unsuspecting audience members. It’s all about creating energy and fun from pushing people’s buttons any way he can. « hide |
