- Tomas Kalnoky is the lead singer/guitarist and songwriter of the bands Streetlight Manifesto and Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution. He also held this position in the famed 3rd-wave ska band Catch 22, but left the band after making only one album (their debut, entitled Keasbey Nights) to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, among other reasons. He has stated that visual art was his first love, before his love of music came about, and that he attended the Savannah College of Art and Design purely for visual art, with music not being a reason of attending the school. According to the booklet of Somewhere in the Between, Kalnoky also attended Rutgers University. He is also supposedly involved with a punk band called Man Bites Dog, which has a planned album titled "It's Go Time," although they have yet to release any material. Kalnoky's family immigrated from the Czech Republic to the U.S. in 1985, when he was 5 years old. He has one brother, Achilles, who is a year older than him. During a live performance he stated that he had a Greek nationality and lived there for a few years. He couldn't go back and had to wait for his passport to expire because he should have gone to the army since he had a Greek nationality. He came in Greece in 2008 and told the story. He is believed to have a christian background. Kalnoky said he learned to play because of The Beatles. His first foray into the music world began with the punk band Gimp, with whom he released one cassette, Smiles for Macavity, before moving onto Catch 22. It was in Gimp that Kalnoky first wrote the song "Supernothing" which later appeared on the Catch 22 demo Rules of the Game (EP) and the album Keasbey Nights. However, the original version is a much slower acoustic song, which features Tomas's brother Achilles on violin (Achilles would later appear on the Bandits EP A Call to Arms). Tomas is also involved in The RISC Group, of which very little is known. Tomas played an Ibanez AS73 in the early days of Streetlight Manifesto, and now plays a "Satin" Gibson ES-335. The AS73 may have been one of the items stolen when the band was robbed on Oct. 2nd, 2005. Kalnoky's influences are many, the blending of which creates Streetlight's signature sound. Kalnoky cites The Drifters as a favorite band. Other musical influences include Nirvana, The Suicide Machines, and Squirrel Nut Zippers. He has also mentioned Czech folk singer Jaromir Nohavica as one of his musical heroes. During one of his early interviews, Kalnoky cited American pop-folk singer Mason Jennings as one of his current CD's playing in his car. He also played an intro and a verse from Jennings' Birds Flying Away at a live show. There are also non-musical influences that affect Streetlight Manifesto, more specifically the lyrics; the song "Here's to Life" refers to authors J.D. Salinger, Ernest Hemingway, Albert Camus, and artist Vincent Van Gogh, in addition to musician Kurt Cobain. Tomas Kalnoky is also a self-proclaimed perfectionist, explaining the persistent delay of Streetlight Manifesto's second original album, Somewhere in the Between, and the next album by the Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, which he says "Will be released by the end of this decade."
