Quick His: New Videos from Thunder & Sunshine and Ants Ants Ants

There’s nothing worse than being stuck inside on a rain-soaked afternoon. Or is that just an over-reaction? The New York-based Thunder and Sunshine delivers an opposing viewpoint with their song (and video) celebrating the quiet pleasures of a “Rainy Day.”

She surrounded herself with a group of like-minded performers and viola, a band was christened. You can buy their debut CD, This Is Sunshine and Thunder, from their website.

The band is playing in Union Square Park on Thursday, July 11 at 11 am.
