Tom Sandoval reflects on his cover band's immediate success
The St. Louis native spoke about the band in a 2022 interview with Bravo Insider, just months after TS&ME completed their first round of live performances.
“It went really well,” he said about the East Coast shows. “It was amazing and I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life. I mean, these are all badass musicians.”
What kind of music does Tom Sandoval's band play?
The nine-piece band covers tunes from a wide range of genres and music eras. They’ve performed everything from Børns’ “Electric Love” and A-ha’s “Take on Me” to Wolfmother’s “Joker and the Thief” and The 1975’s “Love It If We Made It.”
“We want to do songs that people don’t normally hear in cover bands,” Tom explained. “If we play a Journey song, there’s no way we’re playing, like, ‘Don’t Stop Believin.’ We’re just all over the place. Like, we open up with Incubus’ ‘Wish You Were Here,’ I play trumpet within the first 20 seconds. And then it goes right into, you know, Loverboy’s ‘Workin’ for the Weekend.’ That’s what I really like, just the unexpectedness of it.
“It’s just been crazy. I didn’t know if this was going to be something that people really got into,” he said. “I just wanted to do it. You know what I mean? I just wanted to get out there, make music, and do it. And I love it so much.”
