Tom Jones Drums, Percussion, Coconuts & Vocals
Thomas Noack was born in Berlin, Germany. He started his musical endeavor in Hollywood,
California in 1978. Influenced by the active European music scene; he mixed his German and American drumming style to create
the percussive rhythm that is Thomas today. Having done both studio and live shows with the LA based bands "Hidden Crimes,
Dear John, & The Privates" and others. All these talented musicians molded his musical style from Jazz to Rock.
Playing the LA club scene like The Whiskey a GO GO, Madame Wongs, & The Roxy to name a few; made his stage performance
what it is today. Influenced by drummers of different styles like John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, Jon Farris of INXS, Keith
Carlock of Steely Dan and Terry Bozzio of Missing Persons.
Moving to Boise in 2006 was a start of something new. Never playing in a cover band before,
this was an adjustment, but playing with Nyne Lyvz made the transition easy. Now being the newest member in RIFF RAFF, he
is looking forward to adding energy and style to the already rockin band.
Thomas likes playing live shows and enjoys the energy that the audience brings.
The future is bright. ROCK ON!!
Fritz Jones
Lead Guitar & Vocals
Fritz began playing guitar at age 13,
growing up listening to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kiss, the Beatles ect. By the time he was 19, he was playing Southern
Rock in local bars, helping to put himself through college. Those early experiences gigging influenced him to never pursue
his college major, (Art), but rather focus on music instead. By age 22, after moving to Denver Colorado, he was playing
hard rock, touring the south and western U.S. on the "circuit". Also while in Colorado he gained experience
playing R&B funk, Alternative, and Christian music, and developing an appreciation for the Blues. Moving to Boise in
his early 30's, he continued gigging in country and original rock bands, as well as developing knowledge about recording
in his basement studio, called The Wrong Note. This allowed him to work on his own music, such as what can be heard
on http://www.myspace.com/fritzjones Recently he began looking for a working cover band, and now Fritz is delighted to be a part of Riff
Raff.
