Bio:
San Antonio, TX. - San Antonio born and bred, the all male trio, known to fans as A Kid Named Thompson, are rocking the local and regional pop/punk scene. Their music is fun, catchy and all original. Pleasuring fans in Texas and as far away as Brazil and Germany with their popular tunes, the group is releasing their latest CD "Life Generally" on January 18th. The trio is made up of brothers Jon and Josh Harter and guitar genius Marc Molina. The brothers make up an unbeatable rhythm section with Jon on drums and Josh on bass and lead vocals. Marc chimes in on several tunes and also adds unforgettable harmonies to create a sound unique and hard to forget. Once you've heard their music it stays with you.

When playing to a live audience, the performance is like no other. Fans are involved and enthusiastic. Crowds become part of the show as Josh displays his crazy antics bouncing from one end of the stage to the other. Fans shout and sing the words to the songs creating a vibe that energizes the room.

Proclaimed do it yourselfers, the group has written, recorded, promoted all of their music to include creating their own art work for tee-shirts and even doing the screen printing by hand. The Harter brothers also own their own record label - Batten Down Records. It's not hard to understand where they got the bug, having grown up in the studio, their family owns a local recording studio. The group also has a web site and My Space fan page where merchandise and music and be bought.
