About Kristin

BACKGROUND
Lead singer, songwriter and creative muse Kristin Fairfield is a sweet chick with plenty of thunder (-- and yeah, a pussy too).
Kristin started Thunderpussy as a 70’s cover band; got tired of singing other people’s music; and decided to return to writing and performing original material.

While Thunderpussy’s message is loud and clear (and makes an excellent party mix) Kristin is still transforming itself into… whatever it wants to become!During her first stage appearance in 1997, Thunderpussy entertained its audience with cover tunes such as I Will Survive, Hot Stuff and other 70's classics. Gloria Gaynor and Donna Summer’s tunes were the closest Kristin could get to singing about blatant sexuality.


Like Virginia Slims, they’ve come a long way, baby.


Influenced by Magnolia Thunderpussy (the origin of the band’s name), the daring baker who created sexually themed pastries in the 60s, Thunderpussy is now rolling the dough wide and thin and exposing society’s sexual hang-ups in a bright, hot spotlight.


With her first CD release June 2003 CD (Thunderpussy Forever), Kristin cut the umbilical cord with the cover band she had originally been – and launched herself as a powerful new voice in the Bay Area music scene. The album shocked, turned on, and inspired legions of fan to cut loose and embrace their sexuality. Filled with frank and witty lyrics set to irresistible dance beats, the album immediately captured a wide audience eager to hear its message.


After that explosive debut and a year-long tour the band finally ended its Thunderpussy Forever show with an audience of 17,000 at the Exotic Erotic Ball.


Kristin headed back into the studios with a mission: Raise the stakes and take Thunderpussy into new territory. The result: The Slut Diaries. The second album, released in 2005 celebrated and amplified the message of positive sexuality that fans craved.
With more of Kristin’s trademark smut funk, The Slut Diaries was also slightly more sophisticated in its musical message. As the album unfolds, the songs alternate with narration by Kristin, sharing her secret thoughts as she writes in her diary – including a highly controversial criticism of Christianity's view of sexuality.
The new disk, released in December 2006, is fascinating audiences all over again. The new CD redefines party music with groovy techno, pop funk, classic rock and hip-hop influences and builds on the Thunderpussy philosophy that encourages sexual awareness, exploration, and freedom.
