Details:
Raised in a British family that traveled the world then landed in the Motor City Tommy Peacock started singing and playing music at a young age. He honed his skills as a showman playing clubs in and around Detroit, Michigan. Feeling confident in his talent a move to the city soon followed West, East South? He had some Brit cool, some D-town grease just needed some... some swagger! Some LA swagger! His Pa said "Go west young man". -So he did.

In Los Angeles Tommy combed the streets in his worn boots in search of a rock n' roll comrade. He got a tip a heavy metal band was in need of a singer and they rehearsed in the arts district of North Hollywood. Without hesitation he went. From outside their practice he heard - ba da boom boom KA!! The music was fueled by a pounding, sonic rhythm. He opened the door and there he met a drummer named Eric Hallinan. Hallinan was surfer and a standout high school wrestler with a mean frame and fire in his eyes. The two jammed right then and there. Eric's heavy foot and hands meshed with Tommy's heavy Les Paul sound.

Shortly after a dimly lit 8 by 8 practice room would produce early gems such as "The Mountain Top" and "Brass Knuckle Beat Down". They had the muscle and the drive all they needed was the brain. A band in search of a kid and a kid in search of a band found each other several weeks later ...where else but on a musician listing on the Net. Kyle Barton (bass) enriched in So-Cal punk rock and a promotion wizard was the perfect fit.

Still in there infancy the band plays high impact shows with an array of originals like "Rockin' in LA", "The Kids Say" and "Somebody's Keeping me up All Night". Come experience Eric "Hooligan" Hallinan, Kyle "B. Cool" Barton, and Tommy Peacock in Tommy Peacock and the Gas playing at a venue near you.
