Thomas Eldorado Gun III (Tommy to his friends). You might remember him as one of the guitarists for the horror punk/rockabilly/doo wop band Nuke and The Living Dead out of Detroit. He is also the singer/guitarist for the Punk Rock band The Hubies and currently plays guitar for the horror punk band The Necrophilicons out of Grand Rapids. And from time to time you'll find him on bass guitar for the punk band The Beat-Ups .
Tommy plays what today would be considered Folk Punk. When he first started writing and recording acoustic punk records years ago, no one really called it that in Michigan. Years after releasing a hand full of records, other Folk Punk musicians in Michigan started to form. Some would consider Thomas Gun to be one of Michigan's first.
Mainly out of bordom of not playing in a band, Thomas Gun sat down and wrote a bunch of solo songs and went into the studio to record them. That outcome became 2003's "the Misadventures of a Deadbeat." 9 songs ranging from straight forward acoustic punk rock right down to some catchy sing-a-long rockabilly. In 2005 he recorded a demo EP entitled "the Drop Dead EP" with about 10 songs on it. In the summer of 2006 he layed down songs for an 8 track CD entitled "I'm Poison." Shortly after Halloween of 2006 he released a 4 song EP entitled the "Rotten EP." Sometime during January of 2007 he went into Rob Rotten's (Necrophilicons/Ten Second March) recording studio to lay down a couple new songs.. which were later released as the Black Cat Sessions.
,brIn the summer of 2008 Tommy released "Working With Rats & Thieves" his first true full length CD, 16 songs ranging from tales of being on the run as a hitman, murder, and monsters.
His style is raw, stripped down acoustic punk rock with a touch of rockabilly thrown into the mix. His new songs represent where he is at right now with his music.. songs about mad men, psychos, killers, hitmen, and monsters. Tommy has been playing in bands for years and has shared the stage with many great ones such as, Agent Orange, Misfits, Mustard Plug, Far From Finished, Left Alone, Thought Riot, Much The Same, The Swellers, Mad Marge & The Stonecutters, Koffin Kats, Country Bob & The Bloodfarmers, Betty Fords, Calabrese, Blitzkid, Cryptkeeper Five, and plenty more!
Tommy is 25 years of age.. born into a military family. He has lived all over the world and still enjoys traveling. He's also big on reading, history, photography, and skateboarding..
