"One big musical pillowfight".
Thought is a family. That is why their concerts are fun.
Thought packs the dance floor with their unorthodox brand of rock and roll. their undeniable chemistry shines through when they perform live, leaving people sweaty and satisfied. Their sound evokes comparisons to a wide range of ground-breaking artists (Talking Heads, Maceo Parker, Gillian Welch, Prince, Bad Brains to name a few) but continues to be refined as something completely new and different with every show they play.
after nine years(!) as a band , thought has played to thousands of people throughout the usa, canada, and in the last three years focused heavily on the new york city scene. the members of thought have both collectively and individually shared the stage with such notables as; brazilian girls, mike gordon (phish), medeski, martin and wood, dresden dolls, eliott sharp, el-p, butch morris, wycliff gordon, antibalas, kenny wollesen, bill frisell, john ellis, ulu, zozo afrobeat, jerseyband, beyondo, rhubarb, pela, lazlo holyfield, jon nelson's genkin philharmonic, and many, many more. aside from their numerous live shows thought has recorded two studio eps, and their most recent lp- Politics for Kids.
Intelligent Dance Music for ears, eyes and feet. Enjoy!
"Politics for Kids:
Makes you feel
Makes you dance
takes over your emotions
Brings smiles to your lips
Brings tears to your eyes
Politic for Kids is a party."
"The first time I heard Thought's Politics for Kids, I was walking through a cold slantwise springtime rain, but I felt like I had my face turned to the clear warm sun."
