Tom's Club

Bio:

..
Max & Lisa aiment les sons vintage et chauds, old-school et imparfaits. Alors ils n'écoutent quasiment que de la musique des années 60! La bossa-nova est un de ces genres qu'ils adorent. Les compositions bossa de Tom's Club sont très originales : c'est un retour aux racines de la bossa, mais à leur façon, avec quelque chose de plus. Ils jouent aussi leurs propres versions des bons vieux classiques de la bossa (notamment de Tom Jobim - d'où le nom du groupe), de la chanson jazz, ou de la pop française des années 60...

*** EVOLUTION !!!***
Tom's Club est à présent en train de faire évoluer sa musique vers moins de "bossa nova classics" et davantage de "vintage pop". On verra bien ce qu'il en ressortira!

Max & Lisa love warm, vintage sounds. So they're forever listening to music from the 60's! Bossa nova is one of these genres that they cherish. And Tom's Club's bossa nova compositions are very original indeed. Back to the roots of bossa, but with a twist. They also play their own versions of bossa nova classics (mostly Tom Jobim's, hence the band's name), and they can play a few jazzy tunes as well, when they're not covering a good old number from the 60's French pop music...

*** EVOLUTION !!! ***
Tom's Club is now in the process of making its music evolve towards more "vintage pop" and less "classical bossa nova". We'll see what comes out of it!

Tom's Club existe depuis environ 5 ans. Max enregistre tous les morceaux dans son studio et réalise la plupart des vidéos. Le duo essaie de jouer dans des bars, des cafés-concerts, des salles, etc. Ils cherchent aussi un label pour publier leur musique. On croise les doigts!

Tom's Club have been playing together for about 5 years. Max has recorded all the songs in his studio and he directs most of the videos. The band is now trying to play in bars, cafés-concerts, halls, etc. They're also looking for a label to publish their music.
Fingers crossed!
