TMV have a new drummer now and they are currently touring with him. He's an amazingly talented drummer, and so fast he is adding alot to their live shows (hasn't recorded anything yet). Some of their songs are alot heavier, and faster in parts because of the guys style. He's a jazz drummer, in his origins I believe, which adds a new perspective to TMV.

I'm not sure how well received TMV is around here but they're one of my favourites.

Here's a video of Thomas drumming.

Anyone else follow their live stuff or enjoy the band alot?

i really enjoy there stuff. i'm going to check out this drummer because i thought they're previous drummer was really good. it will be interesting to see how the new guy compares to the older one.

Are they touring right now? I'd really like to see them but it seems like every time they come around it's as an opening act and they definitely seem like a band I would need to see headline in their own environment for it to work.

They just finished a short tour.

http://www.myspace.com/auslive has a bootleg some guy made at Horden in Australia I believe. The sound quality is phenominal and basically sounds like a soundboard.
