Music Stealing Thunder: Thunderheist Does it Again!

October 27, 2009 - 9:53 am

Thunderheist

The Red Bull Music Academy site has this very cool Radio station pop out player. You can listen to something like 1737 shows, all free! That is a lot of good stuff in one place. While perusing the lineup I noticed that the newest edition was with a band that ChinaShop has some love for, Thunderheist. Their smooth beats and fluid raps bring together two genres that generally mix like rain on some new suede shoes. However, the storm is coming! Listen to Thunderheist play Main Stage….Live at Melt! 2009.

Thunderheist Profile

thun/der/heist (thən\dər\hīst): The act of stealing someone’s thunder, to trump another with something far superior

Tag team Thunderheist – front woman Isis and soundsmith Grahm Zilla – drop from the top rope and hit the stage, over and over again. Sinuous swagger seeps from Zilla’s ominous basslines, while digi-horns blast the senses like homecoming marching bands and Moroder bears witness. Clutching the mic like a sceptre, African daughter Isis laces joints with lyrical angel dust, rich vocal foreplay brimming with braggadocio forte. You could be among thousands in a stadium, or intimate at your local bar… either way, if you’re in the front row, expect to get wet. Thunderheist sweats Belvedere and Red Bull, and sprays more hooks than a heavyweight championship bout.
