Hey guys (and girls),
I'm here to plug a young metal band here in Melbourne called "Mental Thunder". Mental Thunder is a small power band in the outer South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, comprised of Hemi Padlie on vocals and lead guitar (15y.o), Lee Gillespie on rhythm guitar (15y.o) and Jackson Mison on drums (16y.o) with currently no bassist, but there are 3-4 people willing to apply (including me!), so auditions start next week, very exciting news!

If I were to sum up the sound of the band, I'd probably tell you to imagine a band somewhere in the middle of Pantera and Metallica, you can easily hear influences from both bands, which with experience will develop and sound fantastic!

For now, they play Friday night Open Mics at the Green Table in Dandenong, and play the Pony Music Open Mic on the last Sunday of each month in Hallam, if you get down to these and I am in, please come up and say hi to me, would be awesome seeing some of you at gigs!

Here's what I think is the best video to show people, here is the band playing an original titled "Psycho Blues", they are much better than they are in the video, hope you all enjoy and make sure you like the page! (link under the video)

Very bluesey/metally, that track is anyway. I'm almost getting a hint of Motorhead coming through. I'm digging it!
Good luck man, hope you land the gig;-)

Pretty damn solid unit for young fellas. Good stuff. Guitarist/singer has some impressive chops and a good voice to go with it. Hope the audition goes well dude.

I'm with you Barge - Motorhead was the first thing that came to my head.

That guy's voice is so matured for his age and his chops are great!

Cool to see a female guitarist too.

Digging it.

Solid unit indeed Pabs! Hemi does have some sick chops, his voice has a nice growl to it which I find quite cool!

Yeah Nicko good to see a female in the mix although she doesn't move around very much..... Will have to fix that soon!

Thanks for the well wishes guys, only a week to go for me!

The planets didn't align so obviously it wasn't meant to be, there will be one around the corner that finds you
