THUNDERPANTS - Baddest 80's Band Ever

80’s Cover Band, ThunderPants, is a Houston tribute act since 2005 with over 500+ shows in and around Texas. Started as a “whatever” band and later transforming into a full 80’s tribute cover band. Started by MCDX (aka. SexySexy AwesomeSauce), Tbag Baggins and Sir William Stuart, they played b-sides and heavy alt-rock. SoyGeorge soon joined on lead guitar and morphed into an 80’s act when the House of Blues opened in Downtown Houston. Since then, the line-up has changed little but added a lot with LalaRox on vocals, FootLuis on Skins and Jamie Lee Roth on Bass.

The band has opened for Vanilla Ice and Biz Markie, shared the stage with Collective Soul and Green Jelly through the years. The band has played almost every venue in Houston and most special events including Houston ZombieWalk at Minute Maid Ball Park, Galveston Mardi Gras, Sugar Land Fourth of July Fest, Bossier City’s 12th Night, Margarita Festival, Pearland Winter Fest, House of Blues NYE (seven years straight) and too many private/corporate gigs to share on one page.

The mighty ThunderPants are gawds of 80sPawtyRawk! Formed in late 1980, ThunderPants would claim to record many of the 80s’ best music, but they tend to lie (a lot). With the 80’s coming to an end and the rise of boy bands, the RawkStars of ThunderPants would go into hibernation (like for real, Han Solo style)
In 2005, Hurricane Duranx2 blew through Houston. The damage caused by the hurricane to a bunker under the Astrodome caused the carbonite tombs to dissolve, releasing the mighty ThunderPants
With no real skills, not even musically, ThunderPants set out to dominate the music industry again as the Baddest 80’s Band in the World. While unsuccessful and continuing to lie about the music they did not create, the band has been successful in playing in nearly every venue in the city as well as opening for greats such as Biz Markie, Vanilla Ice, and Collective Soul (we played on the same stage).
