Thom started playing Trombone in the fifth grade, soon after he started messing around with a borrowed “Beatle” bass clone when he was a senior in high school, He started teaching bass six months later. Thom has played and sang for many bands in the ol’ country of Wisconsin, and did quite a bit of session work as well. Thom's list of Influences are; Matt Florence (no, you don’t know that name), Peter Phippen, Jaco Pastorius, Geddy Lee, Tony Franklin, Tommy Shannon, and many, many more.
Thom played with Tim in other bands (Toughbreaks and The Tequila Snortin Llamas) and was bugging Tim to start playing again. Thom actually found Phil on Craig's List (of all places) looking for a new drummer. Thom's quote "We all just clicked at the first practice!"
Thom's creed is "We will get you up and dancing or drinking or something, but you won’t be sitting still!"
