Publicist

About Me


You may recognize Publicist as Sebastian Thomson from other acts such as Trans Am, Weird War, and Dead Kids. He loves making music with his friends but he also loves to make music on his own. As he once said "I love making music with my friends but I also love making music on my own." Publicist exists somewhere between DC, NYC, and London, after Sebastian decided it's better to spend money on plane tickets than on rent.

Publicist has played in, among other cities, Paris, LA, San Francisco, Baltimore, DC, London, Glasgow, Madrid, Barcelona, Spain, Rome, Napoli, and Dublin.

Publicist plays on the floor, not on stage, he is of the people and for the people. If Publicist plays before 12 midnight he magically turns into one of the opening acts.

He has recently collaborated with collaborator Ian F. Svenonius on nine new tracks and they just finished a European tour.

Sounds Like: "These songs represent the glorious collision of Trans Am and The Make-Up, though it's certainly not initial contact. Sebastian Thomson and Ian Svenonius have been making joyful noise together for some time as members of Weird War, but Publicist is Sebastian's baby, a solo drum and electronics project that focuses on the beauty of the beat. Brother Svenonius throws in his two cents on top of Thomson's polyrhythmic attack, and the listener wins."

"...while I was trying to find words to describe the Publicist sound, I think I should just quote some of the comments from his myspace, where people are like 'your funk is from another planet', 'cosmic sensation' and 'full on instant dance party' and that sums it up better than I ever could. About time for some space funk and putting the 'disco' back into 'discodust' after all!

... this is some of the freshest music I've found in ages."
