THUNDER Issues Tour Update


British rockers THUNDER have issued the following update:

"We know some of you fans like to wait until the last minute to buy tickets, so we thought we'd warn you that the UK shows are selling extremely well - so well that it looks as though several of the shows may well sell out any moment now. If you are one of the ones that haven't got around to getting your tickets yet, we suggest you do it....NOW! You really don't want to miss out do you? Of course not!

The Xmas show is selling really well as well - don't forget that the ticket price includes the CD of the highlights from the show! (bargain!). As usual with the Xmas Gigs, the show is in two parts (part one is sit down and calm(ish) and part two a is full on Thunder show - with a twist). Both sets feature special guests, songs old and new and some covers too. The dodgy inflatables and Xmas decos are shaping up to be even dodgier this year (!). The word from the top at Thunder Towers is that there will be a request that everyone wears a suitably iffy Xmas hat. You simply HAVE to be there! More when I have it.

By the way, anyone trying to get extra money for their UK tour tickets on eBay by including the Meet & Greet passes that we gave to your for FREE - be warned, Big Brother (or rather the Thin Webmaster) is watching......"

THUNDER Issue Post-Tour Thank You

The webmaster for UK rockers THUNDER has issued the following update:

"The band asked me to say a big thank you to all of you who attended the recent UK tour. It was a resounding success, selling more tickets than last year's tour, despite being three shows less. It would appear that the band are becoming really rather popular again, and we have you guys to thank for that, so once again, thanks for spreading the word. Luke (Morley - guitar) is making a steady recovery after his recent illness. Playing shows when you feel unwell is never easy, but those who were there at Manchester, London and Sheffield will no doubt testify to his professionalism.

Xmas Show Update: If you haven't got your ticket for the Xmas Knees up at Rock City on the 19th, please don't leave it too long, they are going fast. That said, we've been told here and there that some people are having difficulty in obtaining tickets. We've been told by the venue that the show is not sold out, so there should be no reason for difficulty. As usual all and any information you can give us will help us improve the situation, so if you're having trouble please email us at xmasticketprobs@thunderonline.com with as much detail as you can give.

Please note the band have requested that everyone wears a silly hat this year, to help with the seasonal knees up atmosphere. The sillier the better, the band will be awarding a prize to the one they like the most.

Six Of One - Almost Gone: I'm told the Six Of One EP stocks are almost sold out, so don't dilly or dally if you want one..

THUNDER Xmas Show - The Final Instructions; Glasgow Acoustic Set Confirmed For January

UK rockers THUNDER have issued the following update:

"The night of The Xmas Knees Up 2007 is rapidly approaching, and we're hoping you've all made arrangements with the silly hat shop.

There are still some tickets left.

Remember, entry to the after show party is strictly via the band's guest list, or the sticker on the back of the CD info sheet (this is the sheet that will be given away in the lobby as you arrive - please pick one up, if you want your copy of the exclusive live CD of the show that is, if not don't bother). After show stickers are limited, so check the back of your info sheet. If it's there you can go with a friend or loved one. If you get a sticker but can't go, be nice and Christmas spiritee, and give it someone else..

And on a final note, there will be a one off Xmas Knees Up 2007 Tee Shirt, as is tradition, but unlike years gone by, this year it will be sold at the show first, and not online, unless there are any left after the show of course. The reason is simply that we have been swamped with orders for Thunder Shop products since the UK tour began, and the "ladies that process" are literally buckling under the strain. All I will say is that it's devilishly good..

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THERE WERE NO MORE SHOWS UNTIL THE NEW LP...

Contractual obligations have meant we've been unable to announce this before now. Strictly speaking we haven't had the nod to do it today, but it would appear that the info is already out there, so what the hell..

Thunder will play a short acoustic set at The Garage in Glasgow (Scotland) on January 10th at the 1st Birthday Party for 96.3 Rock Radio. Other bands include Logan, Toby Jepson, The Almighty, Dougie White and members of Gun. Tickets are £15 each, and all proceeds will go to Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy. Doors are at 18:30, first band 19:00. Thunder will apparently be on towards the end of the night. Sounds good...

That's it, I'm off to sew my antlers back on to my woolly hat. I'm dreamin' of a white doodah...

The Thin But Highly Seasoned One."
