Thomas Function is certainly not a new band, but they first time I heard of them was almost exactly a year ago when they came through Denton and played a house show with Denton’s own Wax Musuems and Teenage Cool Kids. Flash forward a year and coincidentally enough I was having a conversation about this band at our show last week which naturally steered towards a description of their sound and the only band that could be manifested in comparison was Velvet Underground. I’ll expand on that by saying the band has a very strong influence from the southern-hometown-rock genre: Neil Young and more recently Deer Tick. This record, In The Valley Of Sickness, was released on Tuesday and is available in CD or LP format through the always wonderful Fat Possum Records.
