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!

Streetlight show

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that came out this past saturday for our performance at Streetlight. The space was small but it gave us a chance to play a personal show for all our family, friends and fans! We had a great time and will probably play there again in the future, so stay tuned!

Also...we will be playing another all ages show w/(bar upstairs!) in San Jose next month at the portuguese hall on santa clara street downtown. The show is on May 30th and will be put on by a new upcoming San Jose band Zen in Exile. The show is only $5 and will have 7-8 bands total. Each band will be representing a different metal genre. Should be a pretty killer show. Keep it Metal.
