Thunderdikk

Thunderdikk is a hard rock band from Los Angeles, California formed in 2007.

Biography

Thunderdikk is fronted by lead singer, Dikk Thunder. According to Dikk, the band was formed "so people can let loose, dance and get crazy. When I called the other guys and told them the band was called Thunderdikk and the songs were about girls, partying and rock and roll, they jumped on it."[1] The band claims Guns N' Roses and AC/DC as major influences.[2]

In reviewing their 2008 debut EP, Rock Out With Your Dikk Out, Classic Rock Magazine called Thunderdikk "clearly the greatest rock band to emerge from LA since Van Halen," calling their "super sonic cock'n'roll equal parts Buckcherry and Ron Jeremy." Sleazegrinder (May 2009). "Round-Up: Sleaze". Classic Rock 131: 79. 

The band plays regularly in the greater Los Angeles area.

Thunderdikk refers to their fans as "Dikkheads."

Media appearances

The band is perhaps best known for appearing on an episode of Oxygen Network's The Bad Girls Club.[3] In Season 4, Episode 6, entitled "Paul and Kate Plus Hate," the Bad Girls attended a Thunderdikk concert at The Viper Room in West Hollywood, California. The appearance culminated with Bad Girl Lexie getting booed offstage after grabbing the microphone.

Guitar player Sleaze Paladino has been seen as a recurring character on G4's X-Play.

Thunderdikk's music has been heard on USA Network's Burn Notice, episode No. 413 "Eyes Open." [4]
