The Tomorrowpeople (1996-2000) were a psychedelic rock band based in Dallas, TX featuring former members of Brutal Juice and Toadies.
They took their name from a cult British science fiction show (The Tomorrow People) that aired on ITV in the early '70s.
During their career, The Tomorrowpeople played and toured with such groups as Tripping Daisy, Spoon, Centro-matic, Sixteen Deluxe and Third Eye Blind.
The group's Gordon Gibson, Ben Burt and Jody Powerchurch reformed in 2008 with two new members, Gary Parks and Hayes Smith, ostensibly to promote the release of their catalog on iTunes.
Their reunion show was on May 17, 2008 at the Double-Wide in Dallas, TX.
Gordon Gibson formed The Tomorrowpeople in 1996 with his roommate Erich Scholz in Denton, TX while on a break from touring with hardcore heroes Brutal Juice. Following a move to Dallas, the two hooked up with former New Bohemian guitarist Wes Martin who brought them into Steve Curry's SRC Studios in Garland, TX. Along with Brutal Juice drummer Ben Burt, the group—with Martin on bass—recorded a clutch of songs that would come to be known as Scuzzy Ports. Although never released, the eight-track demo soon attracted the attention of major labels on the West Coast. Enlisting the aid of recently departed Toadies guitarist Darrel Herbert and Chomsky keyboardist John Norris, Gibson and Scholz—who took the nom de rock "Jody Powerchurch" -- quickly wrote enough songs for a set and played their first show at Club Dada in Dallas on November 18, 1996.
