Thai rock
Thai rock (Thai: ไทยร็อก) is rock music from Thailand. It was heavily influenced by American and British rock bands. Originally emerging in the 1960s, when Thai musicians played cover rock songs for American G.I. soldiers during the Vietnam War (1960s to 1970s), Thai rock later flourished in the 1980s with bands like Asanee–Wasan, Carabao and Micro.
The earliest Thai pop rock music emerged from western music influenced form both the United States and United Kingdom. The earliest Thai rock combo groups played a combination of instrumental music and surf music influenced by The Ventures and The Shadows which was known locally as Wong shadow.
The international popularity in the 1960s with bands such as The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and musician Jimi Hendrix influenced the creation of some of the earliest western style groups. The most popular Thai beat, garage rock, and psychedelic rock groups include The Impossibles, The Cat, and The Dynamics in the mid to late 1960s.
The Thai blues rock and hard rock genre began in the late 1960s and early 1970s by Lam "Guitar King" Morrison and Kitii "Guitar Gun" Kanchanasathit who performed for American GI's during the Vietnam War.
Early rock bands in the genre include V.I.P. led by Lam Morrison, Siamese and Kaleidoscope led by Kitti Kanchanasathit, The Fox led by Chor On Na Bangchang, Epitaph and Marmalade led by Olarn Promjai, Heavy Mountain led by Daeng Veyjan, Mundee led by Ekamun Potipunthong, and Suang Santi who helped to make Thai rock music mainstream.
In the 1980s, a plethora of Thai heavy metal and hard rock bands emerged, including The Olarn Project, Neua Gub Nang, and Rockestra.
The Rock Pub opened in Bangkok in 1987 and to date remains the most successful and popular Thai rock live music venue in the country. For close to forty years The Rock Pub has consistently provided a permanent home for the wide variety of Thai rock and roll, rock, pop rock, hard rock, heavy metal, and related subgenres played by an ever growing number of Thai rock musicians and groups.
In the early 1990s, heavy metal and hard rock became popular in Thailand. Prominent bands receiving mainstream recognition included Stone Metal Fire, Uranium, Big Gun, and Hi-Rock.
