ABOUT THIEVES CROSS

Bryan Thomas is the original founding member of Thieves Cross. Born in Germany, he lived just down the street where the infamous Nuremberg trials took place.

Bryan took up the guitar quite early, at ten. After coming to this country, getting the language down, he took up the Bass in 1979. In mid 1984, he played the reggae beat to it’s limit and formed the basic approach to the psycho rock now called Thieves Cross with Clark Rodgers on guitar. With an english handmade bass by Wal, he creates Funk/Punk bass lines to this day. Resting on TV/Movie soundtrack creation, Bryan continues to operate under the name Thieves Cross.

Clark Rodgers is definitely “our man” at the U.N. It certainly is true when you consider that he was born in France, raised in Spain and then brought over to America by his parents. His father, an American Air Force officer and his mother, a French woman who owned a bar & restaurant in a chic town called Laon.

His cosmopolitan upbringing has led him in diverse interests like European motor sports and Formula One to be specific. His passion for racing started at a very tender age whilst listening to Jimi Hendrix.

Hendrix and eclectic influence from unlikely artists like Pere Ubu and Barney Kessell exemplify Clark’s style.

Biff was the drummer for The Bruces. Changing his name to Byford Sinatra, he came aboard taking up the vocal spot for Thieves Cross. Being a multi-instrumentalist, Biff even sat in as drummer. Since Clark knew him he was firmly planted as singer/songwriter.
