The Patrick Thomas Band
This is an entirely self produced work, and I played all the instruments with the exception of drums and piano on a few of the songs. It's very much a labor of love, and represents work I've done since I started getting into recording about two or three years ago. Although I started out playing blues and rock, there are a great deal of other styles thrown into the mix on this album, the latest of which is latin music, particularly a kind of afrocuban sound that I've been into recently. And in addition to fusing genres, I've also played with the idea of old and modern music a little. Another thing to understand with this music is that I never really had any plan to make money off it, or if I did, it was way in the back of my mind. One of the things spurring me on in my DIY way of doing things is the fact that I've pretty much given up on the 'get signed' pie in the sky BS (if I ever believed it in the first place), and so the stuff you'll here from me is completely free of the groveling commercialism that poisons so much music these days. I did this for the love of the music, and to my own standards, and although the production may not be absolutely perfect (should it be?), it's pretty damn good for a completely independant record. So, I hope you enjoy, and expect much more from me in the future.
