Music videos that feature Thunderbirds

[TBird1958]

Yow. Three long sets in one night is a lot. Is that what the cover band scene expects?  I can't imagine doing that for decades!

Not in Seattle proper, there's no money to make here at any venue, most will give 45-60minutes and no pay before the next band is on stage. Once you leave town there's money to be made and more stage time. The local casinos are usually great places to play, they pay well, 1800.00 and up a night, plus rooms, and food. Most are fairly new with good FOH and support staff as well.

Holy crap.  We're playing in the wrong joints.

The Thunderqueen gigs in style!

The Thunderqueen gigs in style!

Yes, true.
But, we are a pretty good band at this point, we did find a new guitarist in early Oct. of last year, she's quite good and it's really come together. The whole deal is a lot of work and we put a lot of effort into the music and show, the pay barely really covers what's involved once you factor in all the time for travel to and from the show plus set up and breakdown.
But, while I can, I will go out and play

 It can be about as much fun as you can get.

A TBird with screws ... shudder the thought !!!

[TBird1958]

It's probably a little more like a Non Reverse......

Epi T-bird on a Frankie Miller song with the Quireboys.





A young Frankie Miller is superimposed in the video.
And apparently Luke Morley (Thunder) has joined the Quireboys recently. Which (for me) makes this band a lot more interesting.

A rare video featuring the bassist as the center of attention.

If you wanted to say something nice, I guess you could call the bass line "hypnotic".

He doesn't use his fretting pinkie much does he? And the way he holds the pick - interesting. Of course, he hit his head with that heavy bass that one time, so I'm not judging.

The lead singer in that faux feline fur is très hot in a Patti Smith/heroin chic way.

[4stringer77]

He isn't reinventing the wheel. He's on the Mount Rushmore of Gibson playing bassists and that bicentennial sounds superb. It's good to see him out there enjoying the stage and probably not for the money.

What's that amp that Krist is using?  I don't recognize the logo.
