John Thomas

Born in Sydney,Australia, John Thomas has truly been rockin' around for over three decades. He's been writing songs since his first successful venture into the music business, when as a member of Melbourne based band THE FLIES, he co-wrote their chart hits. During this time, they became famous in Australia for their wild and frantic live performances. As the enfant terribles of the Aussie pop scene, they appeared regularly on TV and also supported The ROLLING STONES, ROY ORBISON and many others during their Australian career. Moving to London , John released the album CREEPY JOHN THOMAS on the RCA label.

A second album, BROTHER BAT BONE, was released on the Teldec label. These two albums have both become cult classics and are sought after by rock historians. Both albums have since been bootlegged by Fingerprint records although John has never received any royalties from sales of these recordings. In the early seventies, after spending over a year in San Francisco, John returned to London and joined the EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND as guitarist. He is featured on the albums LIVE HITS HARDER and BANDAGES (with MIKE OLDFIELD). During this time John recorded with DAVE STEWART and ANNIE LENNOX in their pre-EURYTHMICS days. After several more years with the EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND, John moved to Berlin, Germany, in 1979, where as leader of JOHNNY & THE DRIVERS, he remained part of the Berlin rock scene for nearly ten years. Two DRIVERS albums were released, THIS MUST BE THE NIGHT on Polydor and HOMING IN ON ZERO on Phonogram. Now based in London, John spends his time writing and recording and planning his next attack on the music establishment. He runs WEREWOLF MUSIC and spends most of his time time working with other artists as producer and musician and songwriter. John has just produced his first solo effort in decades, REMEMBER ME THIS WAY, which appears on Werewolf Rcords.
