Peter Michael Thomas (born 9 August 1954) is an English rock drummer best known for his collaboration with singer Elvis Costello, both as a member of his band "The Attractions" and with Costello as a solo artist.
In addition to his long career as a session guitarist and touring drummer, he has been a member of the band Squeeze in the 1990s and as a participant of the supergroup Works Progress Administration in the early 2000s.
Tom Waits has dubbed him "one of the finest rock drummers alive."
Career
Thomas claims that the Jimi Hendrix Experience is his favorite album and greatest influence. He first heard the album at the age of 14, and was heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell. After being waiting outside Mitchell's house for several days, Thomas found his drumming hero as a teenager.
Thomas was recruited as a member of Costello's backing band the Attractions in 1977 after early involvement with Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers and John Stewart. Elvis Costello & the Attractions will spend the next decade touring the world and recording nine albums, from This Year's Model (1978) to Blood and Chocolate (1986).
Despite the fact that Costello was apart with the Attractions from 1987 to 1993, he continued to work with Thomas during this time. Thomas played drums on the albums Spike (1989), Mighty Like a Rose (1991), and Kojak Variety (recorded in 1990 but not released until 1995), and was a member of Costello's 1989–1991 touring band, The Rude 5.
Costello reunited with the Attractions for the albums Brutal Youth (1994) and All This Useless Beauty (1996).
Costello recruited Thomas, Faragher, and Attraction Steve Nieve to record When I Was Cruel (2002). Elvis Costello & the Imposters, who were later known, have toured extensively and released the album The Delivery Man (2004). Thomas was a member of Costello's television show Spectacle: Elvis Costello from 2008 to 2010.
Thomas and his partner Judy live in Los Angeles. Tennessee is their daughter and the Likes' drummer. Thomas was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 as a member of Elvis Costello & the Attractions.
