Accordion Monday (a couple of days late): Steve ‘n’ Seagulls cover AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”

Work’s and hunting down wedding venues have been keeping me pretty busy lately, and one of the things that fell by the wayside was Accordion Monday, the series of posts where I feature a wonderful accordion tune. Here it is, even if it’s a couple of days late.

Steve ‘n’ Seagulls is a Finnish band who specialize in playing some down-home bluegrassy covers of hard rock tunes. Their latest YouTube release is a cover of AC/DC’s last bona fide anthem, their 1990 single Thunderstruck, complete with what it always needed: an accordion solo (my feeling is that every AC/DC tune needs an accordion solo, however):

If the accordion looks a little odd to you, it’s likely because it’s a Finnish accordion. The Finns have made the accordion their own, having come up with their own button layout, with which I’m not familiar.
