Line up(s) available: 3 piece (trio), 4 piece (quartet), 5 piece, 6 piece or more When people first listen to Nick’s songs, particularly his voice, artists like Neil Young, Thom Yorke and even Art Garfunkle come to mind. His articulation, his tones and the lyrics he writes leave an impression. They stay with you somehow. In his formative years, Nick spent a lot of time alone in the Melbourne suburb of Heidelberg West, finding dark spaces and listening to the folk rock masters that would ultimately shape his own creations. As the recording process carried on, fate it seemed started to present Nick with the musicians, who would ultimately form the foundation of his band ‘Goodnight Thomas’. He now regularly engages the talents of these great musicians as well as others – transient performers ready to take the stage with a drum kit, cello or keyboard as required. Whether as a stripped back 3 piece acoustic formation, or the fuller 7 piece band, these guys have been wooing audiences around Melbourne since 2006. Performing in venues such as The Northcote Social Club, Ruby’s of Belgrave and The East Brunswick Club Hotel, the performances have been well received, particularly by the great musicians like Heather Frahn, Tobias Cummings and Tim McMillan that they’ve shared the stage with. Keen to explore another avenue of the music business, the band also came to the attention of film maker Rohan Spong in 2006. Developing a new special effect technique with a colleague of his, Rohan approached Nick to collaborate on a film clip for ‘Close Your Eyes’. The end result was a wonderful interpretation of the song – originally written by Nick after a moment of inspiration and desperation post a Tobias Cummings gig in 2004. Based in Northcote, Goodnight Thomas find themselves in good company, with fellow musicians Mick Thomas, Claire Bowditch and Jen Cloher also calling the suburb home. The performances continue to attract a devoted following and a regional tour planned through Victoria and New South Wales later in the year is certain to draw more devotees to the fold. Through 2007, these guys will certainly be a band to watch. We can learn a 'requested' song in a week or two if required
