2024 restock. Led by explosive guitar player
Chris
(later
Christa
)
Bond
,
Thunder and Roses
was a power-trio from Philly in the best tradition of
Cream
or the
Jimi Hendrix Experience
. This is their sole album, originally released in 1969. A cult psychedelic hard-rock classic, including "White Lace and Strange", famously covered by
Nirvana
. Thunder and Roses (named after a story from
The Astounding Science Fiction Anthology
) started to take form when genius 18-years old guitar player Chris Bond and bassist
Tom Schaffer
met heavy drummer
George Emme
(previously of
The Electric Power House
). Rehearsing six days a week the trio gelled quick and soon they were playing memorable shows at venues like Electric Factory and the Trauma. Recorded at Sigma Sound by
Joe Tarcia
,
King of the Black Sunrise
was released by United Artists in 1969. Dominated by Bond's outstanding fuzz-wah guitar playing, the album featured seven original songs plus a storming cover of Hendrix's "Red House". Sadly, the record label took a wrong decision when refused to release the killer "White Lace and Strange" as a 45 to promote the album, choosing the mockery "Country Life" instead. After Thunder & Roses split, guitar player and main songwriter Chris Bond had a successful career as producer, songwriter, arranger and session musician, working closely with
Daryl Hall
&
John Oates
as well as other top artists. Later in her life, Chris eventually transitioned from male to female and changed her name to Christa. She sadly passed away in 2019.
