There was a time, though, when that image was more than just a misguided conjugation. Although Lewis has been the only permanent member, the Disposable Thumbs project has gone through various incarnations with several other band members. But it was a show by solo performer Baby Dayliner that inspired Lewis to shed the extra weight. Since then, Disposable Thumbs has recorded We Watched the Sun Go Supernova, a six-track EP of upbeat ditties infused with alternative vibes and danceable beats.
As for Lewis's take on his lonely place onstage: "You're up there and pretty vulnerable if you make a mistake. Being in the spotlight 100 percent of the time can be challenging. But it's a lot of fun too."
