Thomas Leer

Thomas Leer (real name Thomas Wishart) is a Scottish musician, who, as well as releasing music in his own right, was also one half of the 1980s electro pop band Act. Leer was born in 1953 in Port Glasgow, Scotland, where he grew up together with his friend and musical collaborator Robert Rental. Leer and Rental started a punk bank in 1976 before deciding to switching to electronics a year later. Leer made his debut release in 1978 with his seminal DIY indie EP, Private Plane, to help jump start a movement still evident today. Read more on Last.fm
