Ten Thousand Free Men & Their Families

Tom Gilmore, aka Ten Thousand Free Men & Their Families, or '10k', is a chipmusic/chipunk artist from Sydney, Australia. Tom has said that he has made many tracks since the early 2007 formation of '10k', but he has released very few and is now embarressed by a lot of the early material he had online! The '10k' discography to date is not extensive, but Tom has stated that there is much more to come. However, it will come with less haste and more thought put into the production and quality of the songs themselves.

Matt Sonic & The High Times

Matt Sonic began a music career at a Brisbane musical institution, Red Zeds Studios, in early 1996, cutting a demo with musical maestro David Atkins in the wee hours of the morning. The demo, Rebel Riders From Mars, would form a template of the deep and subsonic sounds that have become trademark of his bands that followed through the next 10years. Late 2008 saw Matt touring Australia, from Coober Pedy to Coolangatta playing bass for Magic Dirt, and writing a debut solo album in the back seat of a Holden Commodore.
