The Great Heist

The first time I saw Isis from Thunderheist on stage I just about fell over. She had the stage presence every woman wishes she had, and more energy than a pit bull in rage. Dreads flying, pelvis thrusting, body rockin’ music that gives you no choice but to get down and grind. The floors are wet with sweat (and who knows what else) when you leave a dance party led by the mighty Thunderheist. Representing Canada, I was stunned when it was brought to my attention that the success of their band was the Net. Getting tons of play from DJ’s around the world, songs like “Bubblegum” and “Suenos Dulces” embraced what they call “Ribcage rattling breaks laced with clever rhyming flip…80’s classics to digital booty bass and slowed down Southern bounce”. With Grahmzilla lacing the tracks and Isis’ tight rhythmic flo’s, excitement comes to a head with the announcement of the 12” Bubblegum EP. Featuring remixes by Ghislain Poirier, Wax Romeo and Wicked Lester, get ready to bounce-bounce-bounce.
Jeah! I love Thunderheist!
