It is with great regret that we were forced to cancel our upcoming tour dates due to personal circumstances that have come about. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and hope to be back on the road soon.
Love,

Other news:
Our album is scheduled to be mixed the week before we leave for tour. That means we will be mastering it when we get back and releasing it after that. FINALLY! Also also also! One of the tracks is heading to HearNebraska.org for an upcoming compilation CD. Kewl.
Hope to you you at one of our shows.
As I’m writing this, I’m sitting on a red faux suede couch in the control room inside the B Room at ARC Studios here in Omaha, NE. Ian is playing an authentic Hammond organ, and about to track his part on one of our new songs that will be on our upcoming album. The cell phone photo below is of my current view.
The big news is that with less than two days left, we’ve finally reached — and surpassed — our $2,000 goal! Thanks to everyone who’s donated to our campaign over the last several weeks and a special thanks to Marm, who just donated $500. Wow. You all are so kind. We’re so fortunate to have so many wonderful friends, fans and family to support us.
And Marm, whoever you are, you’re beautiful — and we totally owe you a song!
Now back to making our record.
Love,
-will & all of Thunder Power
All of us in Thunder Power are happy to say we’re finally ready to record our debut full length. We already have time booked with AJ Mogis at world-class ARC Studios in Omaha this May, but as you all might know funding such an endeavor isn’t exactly cheap. In fact, it costs thousands of dollars.
So we’ve started a Kickstarter campaign with a $2,000 goal in hopes to raise some funds to lighten the financial burden.
If you have a few dollars to spare, we humbly request that you consider backing our project!
Check out the official Kickstarter project page HERE.
For $10 you’re basically pre-ordering the new album before it’s national release (late July)! Not a bad deal, right?
The rest of the donation rewards:
- $5 gets you a digital pre-release download of a single from the new album.
- $10 gets you a digital download of the complete album when it’s done, plus all rewards from lower levels.
- $25 gets you our Love Yourself CD, Friend Ships CD, thank you in the liner notes, plus all rewards from lower levels.
- $50 gets you our Hearts Intersect vinyl plus all rewards from lower levels.
- $75 gets you a vinyl copy of the new album when it’s done plus all rewards from lower levels.
- $100 gets you a stuffed animal handmade by Kacynna, a t-shirt hand-silkscreened by Will, plus all rewards from lower levels.
- $500 gets you a customized song written and recorded by all of us in Thunder Power just for you! It can be about anything you want and in whatever style you want. You also get all the rewards from lower levels.
As a taste of what you can expect on the upcoming album, check out our Love Drunk Studio version of our new track ‘Night Creatures.’
So we’re in the middle of prepping our new songs before we head into the studio in May. If all goes well our debut LP will be out later this summer! We’ve also started booking a Western US/West Coast tour scheduled for July/August.
Oh, and we have a couple Omaha area shows coming up!
3/25 @ The Waiting Room (Omaha NE) w/ The Envy Corps, My Pal Dragon, Lonely Estates, & MPC
&
4/23 @ Stir Live & Loud (Council Bluffs IA) w/ Kite Pilot
two videos that relate to thunder power:
1.
here we have kacynna and jeremy riffing around on an idea. this was recorded with a blackberry. a simple child’s toy was used to create that “bug’s eye view” effect. all bugs must live in a psychedelic nightmare.
2.
here we are featured in the video called “full spectrum.” it’s for the mercedes-benz mixed-tape best-of 2010 top-10 songs, voter-picked. pretty cool. we will receive €150 for this. “take a hike” lives on and on and on.
~~~~TP~~~~
We recorded a video about a week ago at the New Blk gallery in downtown Omaha. The vehicle that made it happen was Love Drunk–kind of like a portable version of Daytrotter featuring audio AND video. Cool stuff. Anyways, here’s the live and raw and fun debut of our new song “Night Creatures.”
The video’s debut was part of the launch of HearNebraska.org. Fuck yeah.
We are pleased to announce that our track “Take a Hike” has been voted (by fans no less!) as #9 in the top 10 tracks from the 2010 Mercedes-Benz Mixed-Tape series. There were a TON of great bands that participated this year, so to be among the most popular is quite flattering. Now if only we can snag an OEA Award our careers will be complete!
Just came across this video put together by Ingrained Productions. It’s from our show at the Slowdown last October when we played with Bear Country and Joan of Arc. Thanks Andrew!
