Tom Broeske / Bassist

Tom,
Saw your name at Dudepit. We were in Casady's masterclass a couple of years ago. Looks like things are going well. Just got my Lakland HB with dark Stars last summer and I'm loving it. Drop a line sometime.

Hi Tom, Your site is wonderful! What fun to peruse even with a sloooow computer. The
Spanics are great. Will watch some more another time. You are making me a true bass convert, especially after the Bass Conference followed by a beer at the Ratskeller...perfect! From the bassment...yer pal, fan and former coworker (not musically however), Larry Welo

hello again. anyways, I was the singer in m.t. hedz and always thought you were the terrificist, easiest to talk to, all around best guy in town during that most awesomely musically creative period in C-U. The last time I saw you was, I think about '92 and we drank a cuppla pints before I hopped on the train in C-U. Member me?

Hi Scott, sure do remember. I let 10 years go by before I came back for a visit.The Esquire Lounge sure did change! As did Green St. That was a ridiculously great time to be a musician, so many good people in one little town! I have bits and pcs. of stuff from back in the day that I promise to post in the coming months. Later!

Yo TB! What up? Gots a new band, eh? Hope y'all get real big and famous. No, I don't mean you should eat Doritos and tater chips to get big. Aw heck, you know what I mean...

I know, you really meant Cheetos. Mike, nobody ever got famous for eating Cheetos, unless you count Chester Cheeta.

Boy, am I glad I stumbled across this site...well, I didn't exactly stumble... I googled...But I am NOT a stalker. I did stumble across romanticide on youtube...I'm still not a stalker...Happy to hear you are still making music...Happy to hear youre a father...no stalking still...I have a five year old...Anywho, dont know if you would remember me from M.T. Hedz or Mabels or not but wanted you to know that finding this site put a big smile on my face and seeing that combo audio vid made me feel old! Cheers!

Hi Scott- thanks for not stalking- which Hed were you? I need more clues! PS Look on my photo page for some more familiar faces from Mabels.

Loved you on Conan. The Spanics DO rock. Both S-Boys are stylin Conan's big-shiny-wave doo. Y doncha dig up s'more vintage performance videos? All the proper software's finally up N workin 4me. So, encore, eh?

Hi Tom Broeske. Hi Tom Broeske. Hi Tom Broeske.
Hi Tom Broeske. Hi Tom Broeske.
Hi Tom Broeske.


I like you muchly.
Your pal. -Charlie

U-say a double dose of emblybass?
All in the same sunny Saturday --Oct 21!?
In my favorite Mad town?!
Sign me up fer one'o them free seats down front.
With these pre-election gas prices slashed back to practically normal, I'd be a fool NOT to hit the road now, and take the long way. Seeyawhen Iseeya...

If you've never heard Tom play, or slept upstairs at the Yankee Clipper in the room next to him, or eaten a drunken breakfast at Dibbo's with him, you really should expand your horizons and try it! Here are some of the reviews of his basswork:

"He so nice, he like a fuzzy puppy, only bigger"

"I saw Tom play one time in Rockford IL, and by coincidence the hotel I stayed in had 3 pens and a coffee maker!"

"Me and the other girls love Tom...he reminds us of the way Tiger Woods hits a 3-wood....straight and long"

"Tom Broeske made me exactly what I am today, a sock-puppet with the name Karl Gooooostav"

Tom, Tom,

So good to see what you're up to. Nice to see the old bass and (wow) you play a Clevinger now! Would love to hear how that sounds under your leadership. The sentimental side of me attempted the link to the C.A. video but, alas, the link failed. Perhaps the now and zen me should take over. Love to you!

ant bee?

if your aunt bea
is the one you love, honey
love the one you're with

Pretty neat place you've got here. I like the quick wit also! Can't wait to see that 51 Allis Chalmers WD back up and running. Are you going to restore it back to OEM or trick it out like a hot-rod?! I can see it now, Candy-Apple Red with flames and black chrome! LOL

Hey, kiddo - had a minute to surf about. Interesting picture<g> - chicken pox? All righty, then! Off to recording session with young lady lead singer who's just recently taken up bass...more later!

Hey Tom - Nice site! I certainly do remember hoisting a brew or two with you back in the seminal (eewww) days of the Bears...we were rehearsing, writing, and scheming to rule the world...the last part didn't quite pan out but we're still working together sporadically - check out thebearsmusic.com .

I'm still playing bass (mostly fretless) with several different lineups - as long as it's fun, I do it.

Well stay cool, we'll see ya out there.

I'm lurking. . . looking for more photos and more journal updates. What's new? enjoyed all the music samples, especially with Sean Michael Dargan. Where's the links page?

I'll have ME a gin atomic, pleez: skim, double. If it's as strong as the logo, I promise I won't drive. I'll just stay put-- digging the warm glow.

ditto lil Tommy
