All Genres > Rock > Hard Rock > THUNDER BLOOZE EXPRESS: Smoke Um Project

Thunder Blooze Express was established in 1997.

We have formed a band with a unique mixture of sound, somewhere between blues, fusion and jazz. collectively we have over sixty years of experience.

The cd was produced using the simplest of recording capabilities to insure the honesty and integrity of our music.

"What You See Is What You Get".

"Thunder" = The sound you hear when god and nature wants to let you know who is still in control.
"Blooze" (note the spelling) = The emotions of our music, the feeling and color of our sound.
"Express" = the power of a locomotive that will get you where you want to go. note, We Will Punch Your Ticket For Ya!.

The Power Of Expression.

DOMINIC"NIK"BOUTTEe' (pronounced Boo-Tay) bass, lead and background vocals. Nik the bass player strums a custom made B. C. Rich Mockingbird Bass. "seeing is believing"watching this man play has been an inspiration to Me all of My life, He is my Father. Nik is the thunder behind this band. In his early days he played in groups such as the "Jimmy Reed-Al Butler Group"DRIFTERS and GIZMO"to name a few. in the "Thunder Blooze Express", he sets the heavy foundation with an attack that is memorable and filled with emotions. He plays vintage ampeg svt equipment today. There are many blues bands that are gaining popularity but in standard blues, you never hear a bass player cut so deep on a solo as in the "Thunder BLOOZE EXPRESS"I think his bass playing is revolutionary to say the least and should be remembered for years to come.
