Thunder Stump

Hey, I'm the bassist for the band Thunder Stump, primarily I write, but lately I've been using my talents for bass playing instead. And it's a lot of fun, last gig we played was at the buffalo chip saloon over on cave creek, and it was fantastic.

we got there at about 7:00pm and the gig actually doesn't start until 8, but I wasn't on at 8, we were sixth to play, and it wasn't based on time slots, so I couldn't say exactly when we started playing. But anyway, the place is really country western.
the place we played before was country, but not country western.

the buffalo chip saloon was actually founded by a guy named kit carson.. if that means anything to you, I sincerely apologize.

Anyway, we were a little worried, the place is so country western and we're so punk. We were expecting to see The Blues Brothers all over again. And if that was the case we were in some trouble, because we were without a chicken wire fence.

Anyway, after hearing a few people play, they played something a little Jazzy, so we decided to start out with something they might like, Speed bump. But ultimately we couldn't stick to it. Half way through it, we said "awe forget this!" and switched over to "1,2,3,4" which I'm sure many of you have no clue what I'm talking about, but I won't give the song away, you'll just have to see us perform it.

Anyway, lucky for us we ended up making them laugh their asses off. Our drummer met a lady there who said she was going to give us information on all the punk open mics in town. Which I think is really going to help us, because we're going to get a fanbase that would enjoy our stuff for more than just an evening.

Anyway, we've done really well for ourselves and we need to write some new songs. We're going to work hard at it!
