There are at least two artists called Thomas Lang.
Thomas Lang (born August 5, 1967, Vienna) is an Austrian drummer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and record producer. He is the founding member of the Los Angeles-based progressive/avant garde metal trio, stOrk.
Lang took up drumming at the age of 5. In addition to lessons at local music schools and years of private tuition, he was classically trained at the Vienna Conservatory of Music. After leaving the conservatory in 1985, Lang began working professionally, working his way through the European pop, rock and jazz scenes. Throughout his career as a session musician he has played for various artists such as John Wetton, Robert Fripp, Glenn Hughes, Peter Gabriel, Asia, Nik Kershaw, Tina Turner, Robbie Williams, Kelly Clarkson, Sugababes, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Ronan Keating, Steve Hackett, 911, Boyzone, Falco, Nina Hagen, Steve Jones, Mick Jones, The Commodores, George Michael, Doogie White, B*Witched, Gianna Nannini, Lighthouse Family, Westlife, Kylie Minogue, The Blockheads, Sertab Erener, Vienna Art Orchestra, Bonnie Tyler, and Nadine Beiler, among others. In 1995 Lang released his debut solo release, Mediator, which topped the charts in Europe and garnered positive reviews.
Lang has released the DVD Creative Control, teaching advanced drumming techniques. In 2005 he headlined the UK Drumfest held in Birmingham alongside Kenny Aronoff and Jimmy Chamberlin.
Lang’s original practice regime eventually became the basis for his 2-part series of instructional videos, “Ultimatives Schlagzeug I & II” which were originally released in 1995. The videos were re-released on DVD in 2004 by Hudson Music. In 2003 Lang released the instructional DVD and book “Creative Control”.
In 2009, Lang launched The Thomas Lang Drumming Boot Camp a multi-day touring, educational drumming experience that has been hosted in various locations around the world including London, Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, Austria and Finland among others.
His follow-up DVD and book, "Creative Coordination & Advanced Foot Technique" was released in November 2006. Lang maintains a website to offer his books and DVDs. In 2010, he auditioned for Dream Theater, as revealed by a recent documentary trailer released by the band, but did not win the audition; the eventual winner revealed to be Mike Mangini.
In 2010 Lang began hosting the Thomas Lang Drumming Boot Camp, a touring educational drum camp that has been hosted around the world in various locations including Los Angeles, London, New York, Berlin and Austria among other locations.
In December 2011, Lang began offering online lessons at the Artistworks Drum Academy.
Thomas Lang (Thomas Jones) is a Liverpool based singer-songwriter, best known for the jazz-tinged song "The Happy Man", which spent 3 weeks in the UK top 100 singles chart in January 1988 (peaking at no. 67). He released his debut album, Scallywag Jaz in 1987. His last album release (to date) was Versions in 1996.
Lang toured with his band throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, and built up a loyal following, as well as appearing with Jools Holland's band on the TV show The Happening in 1990, and several residencies at the world famous London jazz venue, Ronnie Scott's.
Lang still plays live in the UK on occasions, mostly in Liverpool (where he co-owns the 3345 recording studio complex and members club), but occasionally further afield.
He was one of the consortium who successfully battled to save Liverpool's Parr Street Recording Studios (a Grammy Award-winning studio, known for its work with Coldplay, Doves, Embrace, Elbow and Badly Drawn Boy).[1]
On 25 August 2006, Lang duetted with fellow Liverpool singer Jennifer John on the anthemic "You'll Never Walk Alone" at Liverpool's world famous Matthew Street Music Festival.[2]
He returned to the recording studio in Liverpool at the end of October 2006, and started recording new songs. The first tracks to be recorded were "Scared" and "I Believe".
Lang worked on a live album, Torch, which was recorded on 16 April 2011, at the Rodewald Suite, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
