Since its debut in early 2004, Thunder In The Valley has been
wowing Twin Cities audiences and critics with its exuberant blend
of rock and ragtime - not a nostalgia trip, but an innovative
blend of old and new styles that conjures thoughts of Tom Waits,
Sixteen Horsepower, and DeVotchKa with a bit of Kurt Weill and a
mad-eyed carnival barker thrown in for good measure.
When the Thunder rumbles, people hear it. In its first year,
TITV's six-song debut CD and rollicking live show made a big
impression on the Twin Cities music scene, fans and critics alike
- scoring high on City Pages' annual Picked To Click poll and
other year's-best lists. Even better, the band was given the gold
star by the legendary club First Avenue, which invited the band to
play its prestigious annual Best New Bands showcase. In 2005, the
Thunder keeps rolling along, with two Minnesota Music Award
nominations for Best New Group and Best Eclectic Group.
What's next? A full-length album, of course. The band's rising
profile and undeniable talent attracted the attention of the
American Composers Forum, which stepped in with the resources and
studio time to make an album that promises to be a giant leap
forward in the band's evolution. This is that recording.
