Jamie Thompson (stage name: J'aime Tambeur) is a Canadian musician who has been the drummer for several Canadian bands, including Islands and Th' Corn Gangg. Jamie was a founding member of the Unicorns. The band's first major album, Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? , was a huge hit and helped give the Unicorns a cult following among indie listeners. [1]
Thompson and fellow Unicorns member Nick Thorburn founded the indie-pop/hip-hop band Th' Corn Gangg several months prior to the Unicorns' break-up in December 2004. Thompson and Thorburn went on to form Islands in 2005. Thompson recorded with the band for their debut album Return to the Sea , which was released in 2006. Shortly before the band's European tour, however, Thompson had left the band.
Islands continued without Thompson. In mid-2008 Islands released their second album Arm's Way with Aaron Harris as Thompson's replacement, however he returned for their third album, Vapours , released in September 2009. [2]
In 2013 Thompson collaborated with Rebecca Foon on the Saltland release, I Thought It Was Us But It Was All of Us.
