Collection: Christopher Dominique with THAU

Imagine a jam between Jan Johansson and Angelo Badalamenti on a stage with trees sprouting from its floor, flanked by a red velour curtains, performing songs by Crunchy bands from memory.

Christopher Dominique is a composer, arranger, producer, pianist and player of the ondes Martenot, from Växjö, Sweden. Active as a pianist and accompanist, he has joined a nigh uncountable amount of artists and bands.
THAU are the four founding fathers of Crunchy Frog. The label was originally formed in 1994 to release their very own brand of off-kilter, American-inspired indie with a distinctly Nordic flavour. Three albums and a mini-CD later and the band retired - until now!
