THUNDER call it a day...

THUNDER call it a day...
As we enter Thunder's 20th
anniversary year, we've found ourselves becoming increasingly busy with
our various activities outside of the band, and we've come to the
conclusion that there are simply not enough hours in the day to fit it
all in. Having discussed it at length, we've decided that this is a
fitting time for us to hitch up our wagons and ride into the sunset.
We've therefore decided to give you advance notice that we intend to
cease all recording and touring activity, as of the summer of 2009.
In practical terms, this means that we will cease to be a band as
of the summer, but until then it will be more or less business as
usual. The 2008 Xmas Show CDs will be released as promised, and the
previously announced shows in Europe (February) and Japan (April) will
go ahead as planned. We will use these shows, as well as any festival
slots we can secure, to make the most of the time left, and say our
goodbyes to you.
With that in mind, despite only touring a couple of months ago, we
couldn't make our exit without saying goodbye to UK fans, so we've
arranged a final UK tour, which will take place in early July
We've played loads of fantastic
shows over the last 20 years, but we want all the shows between now and
when we go to be the best we've ever done. We really hope you'll want
to be there to help us to do that.
Thanks
Thunder
