I'm listening to their second album right now (as good and weird as I remembered) and wondering whatever became of Tom Hermann. Anybody know?

Looks like TJ issued an odds-and-sods compilation in the mid-90s, but otherwise has he been heard from in 20 years?

According to this page on ubu's official website:

Herman rejoined Ubu in '95.



He's not listed in the lineups for the last coupla years, tho...

he played onsome things at the end of the century (Negativeland included) and did a solo in 2003 called "Wait for It", lately he's been playing with Ovipositor.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

Ovipositor has to be one of the worst band names ever.

Rhett Lawrence is a pretty good name for an asshole, though.

Only kidding.

At some point in the future I would like to reissue the TJ stuff, because I think it is great but got missed by history. It will be a while before it happens, though, and neither Tom or Lenny have the masters, so the quality won't be what it should be.
