about

"Moving, Stumbling, Drinking, Loving" is Tom's first new solo release in 20 years. Known as the original bass player of LA's legendary punk outfit Leaving Trains, he's also served with Sylvia Juncosa, The Terraplanes, Trotsky Icepick and Danny and the Doorknobs.

These four songs display a playful wit married with fine playing from some of the Poison Summer orbit’s best-known artists, including members of Petrified Max, The Last, Trotsky Icepick, Danny and the Doorknobs and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

This project was initiated by a recent covid lockdown writing spree which yielded 10 new songs in 10 days (of which 2 appear here), a firm anchor for a newly-revitalized solo presence.
