Goodnight Thomas

About Me

EP 'CLOSE' AVAILABLE ONLINE through I-TUNES and now Big Oz Music (www.bigozmusic.com.au)
Based in Melbourne, Goodnight Thomas have spent most of 2007 and 2008 playing venues and festivals Melbourne and Victoria, sharing the stage with great acts such as Tim Rogers, Cecil Corbel (France), Mike Compton (USA) and Tim McMillan. Since it’s release in 2006, the debut release for Nick, ‘Close’, has received great support from community radio stations and paved the way for other collaborations such as penning the unofficial theme song to the Asia Pacific OUT Games in 2008 (with Zoe Meagher).
With vocals that have been compared to the likes of Donovan, Thom Yorke and Art Garfunkle, Nick is slowly carving a place for himself in the local scene. More recordings, a tour of the USA and another 2 film clips are planned for 2008, so for now, it seems the pace established in recent months is set to continue……
