After thrilling and assaulting crowds around the country, Tomás Ford is heading back to Sydney on Friday July 18, as part of a national tour to promote his new website at tomasford.com
Ford starts his shows tweaking electro beats behind a fortress of milk crates and gadgetry. By the end he’s launched himself all over the room, changed costumes, pulled an arsenal of jazz dance moves and invaded the personal space of everyone present.
“Half the fun of my show is watching the reactions of everyone else,” explains Ford. “The other half is when I focus on you.”
His one man electro spectacle has been called “edgy, dark and unsettling, and one hell of an experience“ (dB Magazine, Adelaide) and “pure entertainment” (Drum Media, Perth) that “puts other electro acts to shame” (Drum Media Perth).
tomasford.com is an intriguing maze of blogs, mp3’s and Shitfilter, a guide to the underground of the web. “It’s a good place to go to figure out if you’ll enjoy the show or not,” says Ford. “or just to waste away your afternoon. There’s enough content on there to distract you for weeks.”
Ford plays sosueme at Q Bar in Darlinghurst on Friday July 18, joined by Melbourne’s Foxx On Fire.
