“Take a Hike” Thunder Power from Lindsay Trapnell on Vimeo.
We have had our eye on the excellent indie-pop band Thunder Power for a while. The Omaha Nebraska sextet create compellingly unique music that has elements of early 10,000 Maniacs and Belle and Sebastian, but ultimately sounds original. We were pleased to learn that Thunder Power planned their first extensive tour for this Summer, and more delighted when they accepted our invitation to perform at our June 19 NYCTaper Presents show at Monster Island Basement.
