Dreamworld From left to right: Taw Jangbumrung, Pie Wuttara and Rack Lertpanya.
If you heard the name My Life As Ali Thomas , the first thing you d probably say is Wait, that s a name? Yes, it s the name of a Thai indie-folk rock band that writes songs in English, and though the name is odd, the story behind it makes sense.
Much like its name, its members Pie Wuttara, the vocalist and main songwriter; Rack Lertpanya, the guitarist; and Taw Jangbumrung, the drummer also come from different backgrounds and different musical tastes but all come together to form a musical entity that produces unique ear candy to the delight of audiences. Guru talks to My Life As Ali Thomas about their origin story, their upcoming album Peppermint Town and what it was like being the first Thai act to perform at SXSW (South By Southwest).
