Biography

Belhom got a drum set for his 14th birthday. “My happiest moment in life.” After living way too long with hippie parents and their circus friends, “I became sick of that. I became hardcore.” Belhom moves to Paris, plays Hardcore forms a theatrical music group and starts working as pyro technician in the Catalan theatrum monstrum La Fura dels Baus. He experiments with “straight edge” and “being a scooter driving mod”. He reads Lacan, listens to The Kinks, Hüsker Dü, Chet Baker.

Finally he makes the move to Tucson, Arizona, to live a dream with his musical partner Naim Amor. It’s the end of the 90s and the question is „Where is a real place?“ The Amor/Belhom Duo is looking for Cadillacs and dry emptyness, as opposition to Ibis Hotel Paris trash. The scene in Tucson: Al Foul, Al Perry, Bob Log III, urban camouflage, thrift store economics, Spoke era Calexico. Belhom falls in love with the painter Viva Yazon. They will marry later and move back to Le Mans, to an ancient farmhouse in a post 9/11 world with “fucking borders”.

The good thing about booking shows for Thomas Belhom is, that club owners know him, love him. He toured a lot. He played with Naim and his Amor/Belhom Duo all over the US and EU. Thomas backed up David Grubbs or the French singer Red. Right now he is on tour with singer Stuart Staples of Tindersticks fame.
