Small Time Hero, Top of the Tree

Tom Iansek is best known as one half of Big Scary and his solo project #1 Dads but before he was fronting either of those or producing for artists like Emma Louise, Airling, LANKS, or Slum Sociable he was an aspiring songwriter from the Melbourne suburbs, making tunes in his bedroom on a 4 track mixer. Now, nearly a decade on, Iansek is re-releasing his very first solo album as Small Time Hero, 2009's Top Of The Tree, offering insight into his growth over the last eight years into one of Australia's most respected and celebrated independent musicians.
