Soundtrack: The Pleasure Is All Yours by Tomten.

Tomten at The Experience Music Project. Seattle, WA.

Although I came down to the EMP Sound Off round one for Ambulance (previous post), another band crept into my heart that night. Tomten held the audience in their grip with songs boiling over with influences from 60’s Brit rock… and yet felt modern enough for the band to not be simplified as a throwback. They also performed an incredible ballad called ‘Sonny Don’t’. Check out this clip from the show. You can listen to their album ‘Tomten’ as well as get a free download of their new single on Bandcamp, or just go ahead and buy their CD from iTunes.
