WELCOME TO THE STABLE

Welcome to the new official website. We are keeping everything in blog format to make it easier for us to update. Suscribe to our blog for all the latest updates on the Horse.

BAND BIO

ThunderHorse was formed by San Jose natives Pete Rice and Justin Estep. Pete and Justin met in high school back in 1992 and played together in the ska/punk band The Janitors Against Apartheid. After the Janitors broke up, they both pursued a career in electronic music and occasionally teamed up to bang out tracks. Frustrated with the lack of a rock/metal scene in San Jose, they returned to their instruments of choice in 2000. Both created names for themselves in the local music scene by playing in bands such as: American Avenue, Highcyde, A Life in Vain and If Time Fails. As fate had it, they both ended up at the same practice facility and started collaborating in February of 2007. Always having been fascinated with medieval times they decided to make that the band's theme and settled on the name ThunderHorse. Missing that final component of low-end they found Manell "Ian" Menor in July of 2007 on craigslist. Ian's thunderous bass playing compliments Justin's loud, machine like drumming. Together, they round out the ThunderHorse sound. Gary “80” Velasco, the newest member of ThunderHorse will be adding to the stampede, bringing back that duel guitar sound we all know and love. The combination of Pete’s crunchy rhythm and Gary’s triumphant leads bring the thunder to the horse. Taking from all their musical influences ThunderHorse has managed to invent a style of their own, creating a style of metal that will stand out in any crowd. Ian and Pete will also be sharing vocal duties now at shows. Stay tuned for studio versions in the near future!

Hey everyone, it's us @ Thee Parkside on Saturday night.
Peep it out!
MAKE SURE TO PAUSE THE MUSIC PLAYER ON THE PAGE BEFORE VIEWING VIDEO



Thanks to all who came out and had a blast. Thanks to the family and Space Vacation for being cool dudes. Oh yeah, Ian was sick, so major shout outs to our boy with the flu.
We had a lot of fun at this show. There was a pretty good turn out and even our buddy Joey had a good time. There will be photo's to follow on the myspace page so keep your eye's peeled for that.

Next show is this coming weekend at the Los Gatos Teen Center. Something you should know, Justin and I used to play there with our band back in the mid 90's. We haven't been there since but we're really looking forward to it. I'm confident this show will rock, and if you don't go, well your just cheating your self on a great time and some old school antics. Until next week, the stable is closed.
