Hey, just going through my music collection and came across 142 through, brought back great memories of seeing TTRA way back in the early 90's, frankly I really cannot stand Canadian content of any kind, but you guys were totally off the grid, awesome.

I was just listening to the self-titled album and found your site; the music still rocks. I remember seeing you in Thunder Bay (a long time ago) and it was a great night. Thanks for downloads, hopefully there will more to come.

I saw Thomas Trio And The Red Albino at Zaphod Beeblebrox in Ottawa in 91 - I think. They still had Linda, but the self titled album was out, so... 20 years and I can still hear them play The Guess Who's "Undone". Great show. I got the album and still listen to it frequently. Now I've downloaded the 1st album along with the live stuff. Thank you to those who keep up this site. Hopefully you get back at it and finish!

What a treat to stumble upon this site. I helped make that CD and it was a really fun three months in the studio. Danny was a riot to lay bass parts with, despite all the gas, Louis' drum kit was littered with so many splinters from his sticks that I wondered why he didn't wear protective goggles, Lil was endlessly twiddling the knobs of his amps and changing the tubes (and the tone. STOP THAT!)plus he had a very cool book on guitar amps. I've forgotten the title, but it had hundreds of images with manufacturer histories, specs and best applications. Very interesting. And Linda. Aah, Linda, what a cutie. There were some frayed nerves along the way, but it was one of the most fun projects I ever worked on. A great bunch of people and tip top musicians. I hope everyone is well and happy.

I saw Thomas Trio & The Red Albino only once at Kiplings in London, On. They were the opening band for Spirit of the West. Should have been the other way around. You guys were great. Too bad you stopped at 2 albums. You were at the leading edge of a tidal wave of great, great bands to come from Eastern Canada. Would love to hear any updates on what the original mambers are up to. Thank you for letting me download a CD that I thought I would never own again.

Hi all,
Thomas Trio & The Red Albino was a major part of my musical upbringing. I remember the impassioned gigs in Red Deer, my former home town, while attending college. It reinforced the funk for me. Like may people said, you all deserved to be at the top and be rewarded for that. Please know you are missed, but revered in the eyes and ears of many people nationwide. I will always list you as an influence as to how music should be played - tight, impassioned, exciting, and funky.

I fell in love with the sound, and with Linda. :-)
I contacted her sometime in 2001. I think she was in Latvia at the time, doing well on a solo career. I was married with 2 kids at the time, and it was fun to talk about the old gigs in Red Deer, and catch up on her then new projects.

All the best in your new projects, take care.

Reunion, like the one at the Delta in St. John's(96/97, i believe) and I will fly my ass from wherever in the world I am, home to see it.

Having found this forum, it seems fitting I should apologize here to the at least handful of people who were

1) holding me up when some guy offered me a boost and uttered something like "You want up?" and I accepted
2) strained, perhaps some, under what would not have been my ideal weight and
3) were less than overwhelmed by my decision to hang primate-style from the lighting rack on the ceiling in front of the stage at the Loft and
4) were fully overwhelmed when somehow I decided I didn't need physics anymore and dropped more or less freely onto the crowd below, but, without much resistance, to the floor.

I'm sorry. I never did it before. I never did it again. Someone maybe should have punched me.

Good times.

Surprisingly, at no point did any staff insist or even recommend I discontinue playing possum on the light rack. Truth be told I think the only people who noticed or cared were between me and the floor.

Indeed. Good times.

So happy to find this site and the material! I saw the band 2 or 3 times in Toronto and maybe Waterloo ... amazing, memorable experiences. I've often wondered about why they didn't continue. Recently unearthed my Jam It In Ya cassette and couldn't stop listening - though I was worried this ancient technology might break. Now I'm delighted to have these as MP3s. The fact that they are free is a bonus ... I would have paid for them, for example if they were available at www.emusic.com.

The whole band was great, but it seems like a terrible shame that Jody isn't still singing ... what an incredible pure talent.

Thanks for the site and the downloads! I was listening to the cbc radio 3 90s podcast this week and Andrew Whiteman was talking about the Bourbon Tab. Choir days and the crowds really getting into the shows night after night. It reminded me of their shows and yours at Fed Hall and the Bombshelter at UW. Some great nights. Shoes off and party!
Glad it made me google you. Looking forward to listening to the tracks. I think I even have an old tour poster rolled up somewhere - the one that's something like "more powerful than a nuclear reactor, environmentally friendly too."

I loved this band, and to this day I still feel their show at Lee's Palace in Toronto in the early 90's was the best club show I've ever seen (the one where Danny was on his back crowd surfing while playing bass during a tune: some of the Barenaked Ladies were also at that show!)

WOW! finally a copy of Jam it in You that I can stick on my i-pod! this album is a very big part of my teens years, it lived in my cars tape deck on auto repeat for years. As I recall the only reason I took it out was because I was handed a copy of Rubber Soul one day and well ... it lead me down a whole path.
Thank you so much for putting this together. I don't know how many times I saw then at the loft but it was alot! I even saw them 3 times here in Calgary after they released the second album.
