About Me |
|
The ThunderChickens get their name from Mel's Polish Eagle tattoo, when people ask what it is, she says" a ThunderChicken". The ThunderChickens are a 4-piece Rock-n-Roll band based out of Saginaw, MI. Fronted by the visually vivacious vocalist Melissa May(Mel) on vocals, violin, harmonica, and guitar, the band delivers an over the top, high-energy rock show. Jekel is on lead guitar without a pick or shoes and with a unique, lightning fast, fingerpickin' style and vintage sound. Justin provides the dread-locked bass groove, while the drummer brings the jazzy thunder on the drums. Together they play it loud and sing it proud. The music is dynamic and powerful, it grabs the attention of all in ear shot. The covers that they choose to play are not typical yet they are songs that get everyone groovin' and immediately noticing the twist of originality applied by the Thunderchickens. The originals that the Thunderchickens play are written and played so well that even the first time audients find themselves dancing, listening, and trying to sing along like its thier old favorite tune. It is impossible to see them perform and not take notice. For booking message us here or call (989) 992-FUNN(3866) or thethunderchickens at yahoo dot com.!! |
