Thunderbaum Bio
Thunderbaum rocks.
It all started around January 2006, when the former band of Jay Thunder, Bobby Dollar and Dr.Sausage had come to it’s end. Looking for more rock n’ roll, action and sweat, they decided to form a new rock group.
Desiring to sing, Jay Thunder laid down his bass and grabbed the microphone. Bobby Dollar (guitar) & Dr.Sausage (drums) clung to their instruments. A long-term friend and player from past band projects, Tommy.B.Falcon was asked to play the other guitar and he joined the group with a good grace. The busiest bass player in Vaasa, Jawbreaker, heard rumours there was a new rock band in town. Simply struck by the band’s spectacular name, “Thunderbaum” he was ready and waiting to be the bass player in the band. Thunderbaum was born.
Thunderbaum trusts in the power of rock. Their musical genre would be easiest to describe as “Riff Rock”, as the band itself prefers. You can probably hear some nuances of Scandinavian rock energy and the drought of Californian stoner rock, not forgetting the influences of godfathers of heavy metal/rock such Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kiss and Deep Purple. Although Thunderbaum comes to their own on stage they truly invest energy in songwriting too. Only good songs are qualified.
Despite the band’s young age, Thunderbaum sound like they’d rocked together for years. An obvious explanation for this is the guys’ long history of playing together in several other, former and recent bands. In addition that they sound intensive, you can see and sense the fun they’re having on the stage. And yes, they like to hang out together with couple of beers off the stage too.
Thunderbaum’s first demo (Demo 2006) was recorded in the fall 2006 and it includes two tracks, “Devil’s Kiss” & “Frankenstein”. Second demo (“Auto Pilot”), was finished in February 2007. It has 3 new ass-kicking rock songs, that may also present you some new nuances of Thunderbaum’s music. You can possibly hear elements of melancholy, prog.rock or even grunge. The band is constantly writing new songs and stays open-minded for various new rock tunes.
What’s behind the stupid stage names? In their music, and in their name “Thunderbaum” the band felt somekind of brotherhood to bands such Gluecifer and Turbonegro. So you can consider the stage names as a small tribute to these mighty bands. But mostly, it’s just their common, idiot humor.
Be our guest and taste the flavor of rock!
