UK rockers THUNDER have issued the following update:

"The night of The Xmas Knees Up 2007 is rapidly approaching, and we're hoping you've all made arrangements with the silly hat shop.

There are still some tickets left.

Remember, entry to the after show party is strictly via the band's guest list, or the sticker on the back of the CD info sheet (this is the sheet that will be given away in the lobby as you arrive - please pick one up, if you want your copy of the exclusive live CD of the show that is, if not don't bother). After show stickers are limited, so check the back of your info sheet. If it's there you can go with a friend or loved one. If you get a sticker but can't go, be nice and Christmas spiritee, and give it someone else..

And on a final note, there will be a one off Xmas Knees Up 2007 Tee Shirt, as is tradition, but unlike years gone by, this year it will be sold at the show first, and not online, unless there are any left after the show of course. The reason is simply that we have been swamped with orders for Thunder Shop products since the UK tour began, and the "ladies that process" are literally buckling under the strain. All I will say is that it's devilishly good..

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THERE WERE NO MORE SHOWS UNTIL THE NEW LP...

Contractual obligations have meant we've been unable to announce this before now. Strictly speaking we haven't had the nod to do it today, but it would appear that the info is already out there, so what the hell..

Thunder will play a short acoustic set at The Garage in Glasgow (Scotland) on January 10th at the 1st Birthday Party for 96.3 Rock Radio. Other bands include Logan, Toby Jepson, The Almighty, Dougie White and members of Gun. Tickets are £15 each, and all proceeds will go to Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy. Doors are at 18:30, first band 19:00. Thunder will apparently be on towards the end of the night. Sounds good...

That's it, I'm off to sew my antlers back on to my woolly hat. I'm dreamin' of a white doodah...

The Thin But Highly Seasoned One."
