Today my friends are from Thundercub. When trying to describe their music to others a series of musical adjectives get thrown into the fray willy nilly such as "progressive rock", "metal inspired drum and base", "electronica rocka". I'm going to go with electronica rocka because I made that up just then and it captures a whiff of what Thundercub embodies.
In fact that whiff might have just floated down the street from their band rooms, say about thirty four or thirty five metres. It's gotten aromically entangled with the indie kid at 15a's poppy and trancy So So Modern rhythms and the slightly disorientating time signature changes of the Mars Volta from flat 6; as you casually stroll along Smellytune Drive you'd begin to gather the unique aroma that is Thundercub.
The number of pedals guitarist Lee uses (and created himself no less) deserves a mention. He literally has a suitcase of them at his disposal, many of which alter and transform the sounds he produces to defy one's expectation of what an electric guitar can or should sound like. They'll be supporting the Mint Chicks in Dunedin at the Otago University Orientation, March 3rd. Go along and get those aural and olfactory senses a tingling.

Wait. Did I describe music through metaphors of smell?
