Scroll to open the file ↓FILE 01
Welcome to the world of That Tomato, not your average funky blues-pop band. This eclectic five-piece fuses infectious rhythms with vibrant synths, mad guitars, terrific basslines, and strong percussion. Their sound blends blues, bossa nova, and rock into something that touches your soul and keeps you dancing.
But wait, there's more.
A note on the music
The mercenary storyline is fiction, the music is not. Every song is genuinely composed, played, and recorded by real musicians in a real room, start to finish. No AI in the writing, the performance, or the production. The absurdity lives entirely in the story, never in the songs.
FILE 02
Beyond their musical talent, the members of That Tomato lead a thrilling double life as mercenaries. Their tours are the perfect cover for covert operations around the globe, whether on stage or on a mission, they blend both worlds seamlessly.
It's a genius setup, fame provides the cover. No one suspects that the band playing tonight's sold-out show might also be there on other business.
FILE 03
The adventure begins with the band's rise to fame, captured in dynamic music videos that blend electrifying performances with glimpses of their mercenary exploits. Witty dialogue and thrilling sequences invite the audience into a world where entertainment and espionage blur brilliantly.
EXCERPT, FIRST MUSIC VIDEO, TV INTERVIEW COLD OPEN
TV HOST: "The buzz around your band is incredible. But there's a rumor That Tomato was formed for a rather... unusual reason. Care to share?"
YAKOV: "Ah, yes. We are musicians. But also mercenaries. We travel the world, taking on missions and playing music. Very efficient, da?"
TV HOST: "Doesn't getting famous compromise your covert operations?"
YAKOV: "Not at all. It's brilliant strategy. We arrive in a new city, people think, 'Oh, they are here for concert!' They never suspect we might also be there for... other business."
...smooth transition into the band's live performance.
