Under The Thumb are a four piece funk band from Kent. With a growing reputation as an energetic entertaining live act our alternative funky style creates an exciting sound and makes us one of Kent's must-see live bands.
In 2007 we were chosen to headline The Maidstone Hospital Radio Soundstage at the annual Maidstone River Festival. It was a great success!!
We have just opened the 2008 Create Music Festival in Ashford...so how cool was that...brilliant hot day....can't wait for the next one to come along :)
Although primarily an originals band we do also have a good selection of cover tracks which we incorporate into the set when we play at functions.
Under The Thumb, Please note the new RecordScout.com website is live! We have so many new features all aimed at unsigned, and signed bands looking for valuable exposure. Previously it was just a directory for unsigned bands but our new launch includes MP3 and Video exposure as well as photo galleries. Encourage your fans to sign up and vote for you. When we go live with our national radio coverage the charts will be announced weekly! Unfortunately previous bands and artists will have to set up an new account from scratch but it is worth it!
We're coming to The Command House in Chatham to help raise money for the people of Palestine, please come, it's for a good cause and there's a whole host of great bands playing. xx
