THUNDERSTICK

Well known for his time with both Iron Maiden and Samson drummer Barry Graham Purkis created an alter ego in 1979 that would become the icon for the newly emerging NWOBHM movement. The mask wearing ‘faceless’ Thunderstick.
Regularly terrorising audiences as well as playing from inside a cage, Thunderstick the individual paved the way for other ‘Mask Rock’ bands such as Slipknot and Ghost and many others.
After leaving Samson and enjoying a short time with Bernie Torme’s Electric Gypsies the eponymously named Thunderstick band was formed in 1982 having just celebrated their 40th anniversary show. Having played both throughout Europe and the USA this highly theatrical female fronted band bring their own unique style of horror NWOBHM chaos to London’s ‘Underworld’ aiming to ‘steal your rock’n’roll hearts’...
Barry Graham Purkis quotes: “40 years of Thunderstick (The Band) has given me inordinate amounts of rock'n'roll memories throughout its existence. Like many bands that can claim longevity it has had both ups and downs over the years. I have always tried to remain truthful to my original vision of a powerful theatrical female fronted rock band, something that was 40 years ago a comparatively original format within its genre. Sure, there were all female bands around in the early 1980s but a
male rock/metal band fronted by a female was considered to be something different. All the ladies that have fronted Thunderstick have been remarkable, none more-so than the wonderful Raven Blackwing who leads my latest line-up. I have had the pleasure of playing with some incredibly talented musicians throughout the years and thank them all for the individuality they all brought to the various line-ups. Above all else I would like to thank the fans/supporters whether they have only just started their journey with us, or have been with us over the years, without you I wouldn’t be writing this. We take your choice to include us as part of your musical backdrop in your lives with great humility and pride. Who’s up for another 40 years. I am if you are……?”
