Queer electro-disco cabaret party machine Tomás Ford has just released BAD FRENZ CLUB, the first single and music video from his upcoming visual album, "Have A Bath With Me?" 

The electro-pop epic is a delicious first taste of what is to come, featuring a guest spot from his Perth cabaret comrade Jamie Mykaela. The single has been released on a compilation from Mandurah label Dog Park Records, “Waterblaster Management Plan”, which curates a collection of electronic music from the coastal plain running south of Perth from Rockingham to Binningup.

An international late night touring sensation before the pandemic firebombed his career, Ford wrote his new album while parked at home. He kept up a hectic performing schedule; playing to audiences from the safety of his bathtub, as they watched from a bath of their own. The material built up through online fringe festivals around the world and grew into a fully fledged performance film. An early version debuted at Perth’s Revelation Film Festival in 2021.

When Ford wrote Bad Frenz Club, he was spiralling into an unhealthy lockdown paranoia. As he finds is often the case, his songwriting forecasted his own realisations and in 2022, things got weird. His marriage fell apart. He came out. He took a year off, preparing the bath he’d planned for everyone in the meanwhile.

Now it’s ready. Prepare yourself to have a bath with him. In the meanwhile, join his Bad Frenz Club.

Ilana Bryne’s deep grooves find their home with her debut EP on Naive. Bryne's Low Earth Orbit offers nods to her experience of dance music history as a conversation between Chicago and London. Ruffneck breaks, swinging garage drums, and sub-bass grooves mix with bumping house kicks, smooth chords, and melancholy synths.

Opener “Dub Box Medicine” comes in hard with the breakbeats and bass for the dance floor but also invokes an inspirational rush of melody and  soundclash samples:  “You see this tune, If you have a problem in life, listen to this”.  “Feelin’ Myself”’ gives us soft electric keys drifting beautifully over chunky, driving drums, when all of a sudden bubbling acid and a Blade Runner-esque synth line widens eyes and darkens the mood. 

“Mmm Mmm Mmm” brings out Bryne’s love for the sound of late-90s London with shuffling garage percussion and nocturnal chords, creating a groove so natural it could last forever. The track gets an intriguing rework from Toronto's Ciel: she tunes “Mmm Mmm Mmm” into a different frequency with squelchy sounds, a broken bassline and bouncing breaks, giving it a fresh perspective.

Release date: 22 Feb 2019

Tomás Ford has been captivating audiences for two decades with his unapologetically raw and provocative musical performances. Whether he's belting out idiosyncratic electronic beats or strumming his folksy ukulele, his unrelenting high energy and confrontational demeanor leave a lasting impression on all who witness him on tour around Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Europe. 

But what truly sets Tomás apart is his complete and utter fearlessness in sharing his uncensored self with his audience. It's this authenticity that has endeared him to his fans and garnered respect from his peers. A few songs into a set of Tomás Ford's transgressive, queer, punk-as-fuck musical performance art, you can't help but realize that he's not just striking a pose. This is the real deal.

Ford's career highlights are as bizarre as they are impressive:
• Was a bona-fide viral sensation in Malaysia, getting coverage on national news and which eventually led to him winning a Malaysian Grammy. 
• His hyperactive comedy DJ show Crap Music Rave Party became an institution at the Edinburgh Fringe, selling out every year for four years and growing into one of the biggest late shows of the festival.
• Became part of the furniture at the Big Day Out's legendarily debauched Lilypad stage. 
• Toured the country scaring audiences in massive venues as a special “treat” for Birds Of Tokyo’s audience. 
• Has opened for an insanely diverse range of musicians and comedians, including Gary Numan, Regurgitator, Dave Graney, Of Montreal and Mouse On Mars. 
• He’s won a “Best Ass In Sydney” competition at Stonewall. 
• He’s collaborated with live artists PVI Collective, hosting their quiz show about food, “Eaters” and joining their “Terrorist Training School.” 
• He has collaborated with cult popstar Ze Rebelle and noise-rapper Simo Soo. 
• He’s been welcomed into the top cabaret rooms in London, including the David Lynch-themed institution "The RR Club." 
• He’s crowdsurfed naked on a crowd of naked people. 

Ford tours a diverse repertoire of shows that show different, but equally ridiculous and uncomprimising sides of himself. His live solo shows, or “Bubble Baths,” see him performing remixes of songs from his whole career, bizarre cover versions and spinning his own bootlegs of his fellow cult queer icons. He takes on the persona of a scoutmaster amidst a nervous breakdown and queer awakening for his unplugged “Campfire Ukulele Torture” jamborees. There’s the aforementioned smash comedy nightclub “Crap Music Rave Party”. He’s also got his musical spy thriller “Chase!” up his sleeve, which is slowly being developed as a film project.

When the pandemic firebombed his career as it did everyone else’s, Ford responded by scheduling a hectic schedule of livestreams. His “Have A Bath With Me?” shows saw him croon his subversive pop songs from the safety of his bathtub, for audiences at home in tubs of their own. The show (virtually) toured festivals around the world before evolving into a fully fledged, Beyoncé-style visual album. 

After an early version of it debuted at Perth’s Revelation Film Festival, his life underwent the overdue implosion many people have experienced over the last few years. So he spent 2022 squirrelled away to work on making sure the bath he’d made was as warm as possible for everyone. Now it’s ready.
