Tommy Walker 3

Tommy Walker 3 is a tragic, multitalented visionary often to be found crying at the end of his bed, engaging in self harm or compulsively updating his facebook status. He is an accomplished Bass Player, Programmer and Visual Artist. Don't fuck with him./////////



Tommy has been chipping away at the giant porcelain doll of electronic music for a good while now, slowly carving out a small notch in its brow, as a resting place for rare birds or perhaps a channel for the activities of shy worms. Tommy is said to literally excrete music (good and bad) and with hours of recordings in the vaults, there is sure to be enough previously unreleased material to keep trickling out at his current rate for over 200 years./////////



Tommy formed the Manchester based and unprofessionally run electro label Human Shield with Peter Mangalore and Ali Renault in 2002, but the story goes even further back to 1998 when he, Ali and a guy called John created the live electro pop trio 'Stud Farm vs Auto Gull' who championed the modern electro disco sound while every other fucker in Manchester was listening to white instrumental hiphop with fake vinyl noise that sounded like M-People on low quality Chinese ketamine./////////



He has since become involved with Cyber Dance records where he has contributed releases and does all the artwork. He also recently did the shitz for the Magic Waves summer festival, creating an epic painted depiction of a fantasy world for the flyer and working all hours god sent on adjustments to the line up for his friend Casionova, and for the good of the electro/disco/italo community at large./////////



He is currently casting for his next EP due out on Cyber Dance in 2010. Something might come out sooner than that if someone is stupid enough to pay for the release.////////



In his spare time Tommy tickles the bass guitar for a hotly tipped Manchester Pop/Rock quartet named Silverclub alongside local wobbly techno legend DNCN and Alan Roberts AKA Jim Noir./////////
