Thom Lion is a ramshackle pop music treasure emerging from the beachside suburbs of Adelaide. At age four, when his free spirited parents allowed him to choose his own middle name, Thom drew on an obsession with The Lion King and Elton John to decide on 'Lion' as his most appropriate title. He's approached all aspects of his life with the same irreverence and quirky nature ever since.
With his rebellious cohorts The Tamers in tow, Thom Lion spent 2015 playing major Aussie stages with the likes of The Rubens, The Waifs and Saskwatch. His songs have been played on Triple J, Double J, ABC Radio and a host of other radio networks across the country. Thom Lion was recently named by the AU review as one of South Australia's top 5 emerging artists. The band has also been chosen to perform at this year’s Clipsal 500 event with Rob Thomas and Pete Murray in front of over thirty thousand people.
Recent months have been spent recording an EP with John Castle (Vance Joy, Cub Sport, Josh Pyke) at The Shed Studios in Melbourne with the emotion charged songs written on Thom's living room piano.
First single "Mess At Best" was born in the most unconventional of ways. After sifting through gumtree and getting himself a scrappy garage sale synth, Thom and the band got inspired about a new bunch of tunes with a matured musical direction.
The first taste of the forthcoming EP is Mess At Best, to be released on iTunes on February 12th.
