Formation
[edit]Since the beginning, the band Thundermother has consisted of all-female musicians. The band has struggled with internal problems, including many defections from band members and internal cooperation difficulties.[1][2]
The first years, the band had many different members, but from 2012 the band had a stable line-up. In March 2017, all band members except Filippa Nässil left the band. Nässil, who founded the band, chose to continue with a new line-up.[3] In February 2023, once again all band members except Filippa Nässil left the band. Also this time Nässil chose to continue the band with a new line-up.[4][5]
One of Thundermothers co-founder Moa Munoz is today the tour bass player for Olivia Rodrigo.
