As anyone who has made a 5+ flight to anywhere knows, closed cabin induced claustrophobia can bring on ADD, so to pass the time your idle hands need to find something to keep them busy. Scott of The Soundmen found one hell of a way to pass the time, creating a live DJ set while coasting above the US at a mile up. If transcontinental flight was still as posh as it was in the 602s, Scott would have been playing this in the lounge for everyone to enjoy, rather than his own private show in the sky. [...]
Thomas Tantrum - 'Mad By Moonlight' (UK Release: 13 June '11) // Words: Jon Sidwell 'Mad By Moonlight' is the second album from Southampton based four-piece Thomas Tantrum . It is the successor to their critically acclaimed self titled debut record which came out in 2008. Led by the rather enigmatic Megan Thomas , the group can count pop mistress Lily Allen as a fan, with her appreciative musings surrounding the band’s quirky [...]

![[PLAYLIST] The Best REMIXES of 2011 – Part 1 (Jan-June)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3589417_lg.jpg)
Strap on your shufflin' shoes and make sure to stretch 'cause this list is an unmerciful messenger delivering jams of the highest quality. Some of these remixes have been banned by certain unenlightened govern ments for igniting dance parties and group high-fives so share with care. This edition is chock full of TBE Remix alums and a few newbies shaking things up. Everyone's favorite, Passion Pit, nab two spots while newbie Star Slinger clinches two more. In a massive non-surprise, RAC takes a heavy slice of this pie with a full 5 slots. Hey, it's not my fault the guy is a genius. Stay [...]
Thomas Tantrum produced an instantly likeable slice of indie-pop, making this new outing a potential banana skin for the band this time around.
Three years since those folks have been putting on a show in the name of Barbequtie . Still sharp as a surveyor`s pencil and cool as a penguin`s lunch box, slip in The Boogaloo for retro vibes and fantastic company. The Shimmies’ music has come a long way since inception, but its defining characteristic remains the angelic harmonies of the band’s two front men, giving The Shimmies a magical quality similar to that of The Avett Brothers or Fleet Foxes, with an overall sound that garners comparisons to the likes of Band of [...]
Almost three years after the release of their debut album, Thomas Tantrum are back with their follow-up album Mad By Moonlight and we have an acoustic performance of album track ‘Tick Tock (Satie)’ for you. Check out this acoustic version of ‘Tick Tock (Satie)’ here, by Megan and Dave from the band. Megan's raw vocals cut through the air; she dances around you, her voice penetrates you, making your skin goosspimple as you sway away with her. Dave offers the firm grounding for this ethereal deliverance, an acoustic performance waiting [...]
9 June, 2011 A selection of photos from Thomas Tantrum 's show with Acrylic Iqon and New Fiction at Sneaky Pete's. All photos taken by Julia Stryj . More of Julia's work can be found here
South coast indie pop, of the kind that's as at home behind a synthesizer as it is holding a guitar. And that's Southampton south coast in case you were thinking of Louisiana or something like that. It's nice but not ever so special. In fact, it's strictly mediocre, but with just enough charm that you don't hold it against them. The long and rather self congratulatory blurb on their Facebook page describes their sound as, among many other things, unique. Surely such innovation should not sound so bland? I must say they found it rather easier to filll the space [...]
Ever wondered what really goes on between takes whilst making a music video and what ends up on the cutting room floor? Well, now you can find out by watching Thomas Tantrum 's behind the scenes footage from their ‘Hot Hot Summer’ video shoot! Upbeat, colourful and most importantly fun, Thomas Tantrum’s video for ‘Hot Hot Summer’ sees them playing in fake snow, raiding the fancy dress box and partaking in the greatest of all summer activities – the water pistol fight. Catch the band messing around on set, dressing up and continuing [...]
If you're reading this for tips, I'm afraid you've already missed the best gig in Edinburgh this week: Yo La Tengo at the Queen's Hall, tonight. Sorry about that. There's not much else, unfortunately, although Sneaky's have Talons , Lady North and Jackie Treehorn on Wednesday , followed by Thomas Tantrum , New Fiction and Acrylic iQon the following day . Both of those look pretty interesting, but I can't honestly claim to know much about any of the bands. We also have a [...]
Luke LaLonde’s, singer and guitarist in Canadian group Born Ruffians, has remixed of Thomas Tantrum’s new single, ‘Hot Hot Summer’.
Thomas Tantrum : Hot Hot Summer ( GWAIIU Remix) - MP3 Chew Lips vous manque? Retrouvez Will Sanderson sous son nouveau pseudo GWAIIU . Il vient justement de réaliser son premier très bon rework (à tendance pop/dubstep) avec ce Hot Hot Summer  du band britannique Thomas Tantrum . Un single attendu pour le 7 juin. Missing Chew Lips ?

Thomas Tantrum are a Southampton based Indie-Pop outfit who’s new single, ‘Hot Hot Summer’, has been reMixed by Gwaiiu. Gwaiiu is none other than Will Sanderson, ex member of CHEW LiPS , who applies his ElectroPop skills to the track to create an awesome mid-tempo head nodder. Driven by electronic burbling and chirping and a solid beat and more than a little Dubstep influence. It’s actually like a Dubstep early Gary Numan track with female vocals. Interesting stuff! Check it out: ♫ Thomas [...]
Southhampton indie pop act Thomas Tantrum get their sweet pop gem "Hot Hot Summer" remixed here by former member of Chew Lips Will Sanderson aka GWAIIU, creating a somewhat brooding and burning anthem that pitters and patters along, softening the doldrums of having to hear boring music. This isn't the first time that the Thomas... Read More Ò
I am learning to despise hotel internet. Whether I book myself and end up staying in a fucking Travelodge or Mrs. Toad books and we end up staying on one of the larger guest suites at Buckingham fucking Palace, absolutely all of them have such risibly bad internet connections that recording a podcast leaves me tearing my fucking hair out. I couldn't even get the online image editor to load properly, so the image is that rather pathetic, borderline clipart stinker you see in the top right hand corner. Dreadful. My art teachers would be justifiably disappointed.

Thomas Tantrum released their eponymous debut in 2008 to great critical acclaim with the likes of Lily Allen and Glasvegas hailing them as their favourite new band. Since then they’ve undergone some major changes with the enlisted talents of a new drummer, Dave Wade Brown, but front woman Megan Thomas, although her voice has matured and blossomed, has kept its wry innocence, charm and wit - something that we love her for. Now they’re back, this time with their new album, Mad By Moonlight , in tow. Due to be released [...]
