Well this is a bit embarrassing. Apparently I need a copy editor because that guy I said played drums for Phoenix and was my new boyfriend? I had the wrong guy.
Music pro Laura Leebove texted me today and was like, “Um… you were wrong about the drummer.” Apparently the drummer who played with Phoenix is Thomas Hedlund and also apparently there are NO good pictures of him on the internet. For shame. Ronald Bruner was so pretty. Thomas Hedlund is pretty too, especially when he’s banging some drums, but I have less ways of proving that to you. I’m also disappointed because I already scribbled the name “Ronald Bruner” all over twenty seven Five-star Notebooks. Woops.
I thought for sure it was Ronald Bruner cause he had the stache going just like Thomas did. Here’s a picture of Thomas (second from right) in the Perishers. He plays with a gajillion bands, I guess. I told you he was good.
At least now I can see more of why he reminded me of a guy I dated. Sort of.
Well, Thomas Hedlund is my favorite drummer now. Sorry, Ronald Bruner… you can be number two.
Perishners…good band.
That guy…not so cute, sorry charlie.
Aw, booo. I think he’s a cutie!
just saw them perform in the nyc 2nite for the iheart radio…he has the most energy of any drummer ive ever seen.
Just saw them at the Hollywood Bowl, and how could I not notice the amazing guy whacking the skins like nobody’s business?? However, with his coffee complexion I assumed that he was from Algeria or Morocco or something (being that Phoenix are French). But w/a name like Hedlund, I’m thinking I’m wrong about that—too. Regardless, I’m on your side. He’s pretty fierce!
Thomas is very talented! Seeing him play live is a real marvel and if Phoenix don’t appoint him as their permanent drummer then they are (for lack of a better term) absolutely ape shit retarded.
Here are some shots I took of Thomas last year performing in Central Park.

Realmente o Thomas é um dos melhores baterista da atualidade, assisti a um show do Phoenix aqui em São Paulo e a bateria me surpreendeu.
Amei!!!
I heart him, too. I guess we’ll have to fight over him to be our boyfriend.
