Burke Thomas's Bands
Pris
This BTO side project/band explodes with infectious melodies set over grungy pop rock guitar. Local area musican and songwriter, Burke Thomas, not only writes these intricate, percussive songs, but he also plays all of the instruments on the Pris albums. Live shows usually consist of Thomas's talented local area musican friends playing back up instruments as Thomas plays guitar.
Vendetta Red
Vendetta Red was established in 1998. This screamo band formed in Seattle, WA. The original band members were Erik Chapman, Joseph Childres, Justin Cronk, Zach Davidson and later came Leif Andersen, Jeff Rouse and Burke Thomas. In 1999, Vendetta Red self-released the 6 Kisses A Blatant Reminder of Why We Are Alive EP and toured the West Coast. A year later, they issued their debut album Blackout Analysis, and then White Knucked Substance. In 2003, the band released their first album under Epic Records called Between the Never and the Now and later on released a second album in 2005 called Sisters of the Red Death.
The Gossip Choir
The Gossip Choir comes roaring out of Seattle and Las Vegas. From the imaginations of Tony Fredianelli and Burke Thomas, The Gossip Choir captures both the pain and joy in everyday life with the resounding notion that unity aways conquers.
The Treatment
The Treatment consists of a fight to the death between a komoto dragon, a great white shark, and a polar bear that spits soldier ants... all while blindfolded. Unlike BTO's past bands, this current project features the Pris sound with a female lead vocalist. Be sure to request them at KEXP 90.3 FM.
