Rory Them Finest

Rory is a buddy from Toronto who I got to know from the fact that he was friends with such tastemakers as Diplo, Jokers of the Scene, etc. Little did I know that he was the graphic designer for Mad Decent among other brands. 
He is responsible for the logo you see at the top of the page. He also did our album as well as the Nothing 2 Step 2 and LBG singles. Recently, he started up a record label with Patrick North called Acephale. Limited run 7"/12" vinyl with great artwork for amazing artsits such as Salem, CFCF and Memory Tapes. They usually sell out before they even get released.

He is truly a man with a unique vision and a good friend to the band. Thank you, Rory. 

Please check out his website for more examples of his work and/or to employ him.

Also, just did a new podcast! Tracklist and download link here: http://thunderheist.com/radio_show.php?radio_id=22

Our mini east coast US tour has been great! Jahmal has been holding it down on drums and I'm figuring out synths as we go! We are kinda learning on the fly here since we only put the show together in the week leading up to the tour. Thanks to everyone that has been coming out and supporting!!!

Sammy Bananas did up an excellent remix of Nothing 2 Step 2. Grab it here!

We started the Euro tour last week with a nice warm-up show in front of 3000 parisians at the legendary Olympia opening for Birdy Nam Nam. Then we headed off to Holland for a couple shows with these sorta obscure guys named Crookers or something...We're currently chilling in the land of loch ness, scotch and scotch tape before our shows in EdinBRO and Glasgow followed by Belgian dates this weekend!

Planning the next couple of months out... And we have some pretty exciting stuff in store. Thunderheist live will take on a whole different meaning depending on where and when you see us. We're both super excited for the next step and we hope you will be too!!!
