From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stu David Thomas is an Australian musician, b.1967 in Canberra, raised in Perth, and currently based in Melbourne.

He is a multi-instrumentalist, performer, singer, composer, arranger, producer, bass player, guitarist and trumpet player, and holds a Diploma of Music.

Known for his work as a bass player, he came to wide public attention in late 1995 when he joined Kim Salmon & The Surrealists.[1] He found further acclaim when he joined Dave Graney & The Lurid Yellow Mist[2] in 2004, who metamorphosised into Dave Graney[3] & The mistLY. He has subsequently played across the world many times (including Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Cocos Islands), and appeared on many recorded releases.

He has also maintained a solo career, performing mainly in Australia, with appearances in Europe and New Zealand. He has released two solo albums to date: Devil and Daughter[4] (2004 Audrey Records,[5] Australia, and 2007 BANG! Records, Spain)[6] and Escape From Algebra[7] (Bar Hum Bug Records, Australia).

He currently performs solo or with his band as The Stu Thomas Paradox,[8] and continues to play with other artistes of note.

Stu is also a famed proponent of the baritone guitar. He plays a Barracuda[9] by Burns London.
