Thomas Lunch

Originally from Virginia (and later based out of Washington, D.C.), Thomas Lunch rocks his own dynamic and semi-experimental blend of indie-electro rock, drawing influence from acts like Brian Eno, Talking Heads, the Ramones, and Sonic Youth. Lunch signed with San Diego-based Hi-Fi Alliance in January 2006, and his debut full-length, Diagrams Without Instructions, appeared at the year's end. The majority of the album was recorded with co-producer/engineer Theron Day, though Tony Lash (Elliott Smith, the Dandy Warhols) lent his skills to the mixing of a few songs, including "You Are My Drug" and the album's first shaking single, "Fire Puppy." The record was supported with plenty of energetic North American and overseas shows; Lunch handled vocals and guitar live, while his backing band further included Day (bass), Adam Weiss (drums), and Pete Sanderson-Kilchenstein (synths/sequencers).
