The ULTIMATE All-Girl Tribute to AC/DC!

These girls combine the raw power of AC/DC, with a hard hitting, heart pounding and electrifying performance!

Dyna hails from El Paso Texas, where she began her musical expedition a the age of 4 by attending Yamaha Music School. There, she learned to read and write music, as well as play a variety of instruments. Upon departing from the school, she began taking piano lessons. She also began playing guitar around the age of 12, and soon after picked up the bass guitar and began playing in the school jazz band.

Influenced by artists such as Aerosmith, Heart, Blondie and Led Zeppelin (to name a few), Dyna joined her first rock band as a lead singer/keyboard player at the age of 13.

Over the next few years, she would play in several bands throughout El Paso and Dallas, mostly as a bass player and/or singer. Since moving to Los Angeles, she has played bass in several rock acts, including Warbride, Sister Strange, 12 Angry Men, and Phantom Blue. Some of her other projects include being a back-up singer for Capitol recording artist Rob Vinton (son of Bobby Vinton), and playing bass guitar in "The Bud Light Ladies" back-up band, The Party Girls (along with Stephanie and Tina from ThundHerStruck).

Andrea Zermeno was born in Los Angeles, California and was exposed to music at a very early age. Her family always had something tasty on the turntable. She studied under the guidance of legendary session bassist Carol Kaye. Besides playing in Thundherstruck, she is currently continuing her music education to include slap/pop, funk, voice leading, harmony, theory and pick playing as well.

Andrea says, "Funny how I ended up seeing the world playing AC/DC when my first love love of bass comes from the musical stylings of the Motown era - with James Jamerson being among one of my favorites. But if you really listen to AC/DC it definitely calls for some swing feel! Especially the Bon Scott era."
