There are certain effects of colour that give all pleasure, and others which jar, almost like a musical discord. A more general development of this sensibility would make possible a new abstract art, an art that should deal with colours as music does with sound.

Based in Perth, WA, BellsWest is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the art of handbell ringing in Western Australia and beyond. Through education and performance, BellsWest has enabled hundreds of West Australians to ring handbells and thousands to hear music played on these beautiful and unique instruments. Bellswest was started in 1999 by Monica McTaggart, music director, through the loan of a three octave set of handbells from the Handbell Society of Australasia (HSA). There were no large sets of tune ringing handbells or ringing groups in Perth at that time. The organization has grown from one group to as many as eight to support the interest and demand for handbell ringing in the Perth area.

Tomás Ford shows are not easy to forget.

With his tongue firmly in his cheek, he sings to, dances with, confuses and excites audiences, playing them for all they’re worth for reactions that are a show unto themselves. His songs are shaped around distinctive, 2009 “Best Electronic Producer” WAMi-Award winning dirty electro beats that owe as much to raw punk rock as they do to the Pet Shop Boys. The entire venue’s his stage and he throws himself around it, frantically working through gaudy costume changes, tweaking his laptop setup and somehow managing to keep his loungey croon in perfect pitch throughout.

He’s honed this odd performance style for the last five years in sweaty bars and at music and fringe festivals around Australia. Now he can keep almost any audience’s attention, as evidenced by invites to join the Big Day Out’s national Lilyworld lineup and to open for Birds Of Tokyo’s recent national tour, following on from a run of huge supports for acts including The Presets and Architecture In Helsinki.

His new EP and video, Bash Myself, is out now and he’ll be back in bars around Australia in July. You’d better psychologically prepare your mp3 player for the arrival of his new album, Tomás Ford vs The Audience, later this year. Because it’s coming. And it’s going to destroy it.

“You will find yourself enjoying Ford’s intense performance. He catapults himself off the stage and into the audience without missing a beat, while managing to sing surprisingly well and keeping the audience enthralled... a very clever and innovative performer who feeds off the audience like a pro.”
The Drum Media

“Whether it be performing in intimate venues... or in front of hundreds of strangers, touring Australia as part of the Big Day Out’s Lilyworld stage, you’ve got to hand it to Ford: he knows his battle plan when it comes to live performance, and he enacts it to dangerous, flawless perfection damn near every time.”

"A unique, audience-scarring entertainment spectacle... Before you die make sure you see a Tomás Ford show."
