Thrust Club & Friends

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

Formed in 2012, Thrust Club is a garage dance party where everyone is invited — a kick-drum that lifts you out of your seat, crunchy guitar chords under a layer of keys that are sometimes smooth, sometimes ominous, and vocals that coo, scream, and everything in between.

Members are Sally Bunch (guitar), JC Climent (drums), Erin Genett (keys), and Bethany Leavey (vocals). All members volunteer at Girls Rock Campaign Boston, and believe in demonstrating and promoting girls and women to express themselves through music and other means.

Thrust Club will be joined by members of Leafcutter and Adam PC.

Gritty Titty

Band Description: 

Gritty Titty is not a band with whom one would want to trifle. For as onlookers are dazzled by the Titty, the Gritty its balling up its fist...and you only notice that fist when it's inches away from the bridge of your nose. It's too late to parry or duck. And as the Gritty is shattering cartilage, the Titty is hooking to the body, targeting vital organs. You've been deceived by the dazzle of the Titty. It's too late. The back of your head is dusting the floor. In this scenario, fists are metaphors for rock and roll.

Celebrity Look-Alikes with Six to Midnight and Friends

Band Description: 

Fusing Rock, Funk, Jazz and beyond, Celebrity Look-Alikes generates a dance-fueled experience, launching the listener into a Psychedelic Soundscape.

Almost a boy-band, the Look-Alikes really just need more vocal harmonies.

Six to Midnight will be opening up for Celebrity Look-Alikes at 4:00PM. If you like weird garage rock cover bands....then you will like S2M. Six to Midnight is....
Whit Hall - Lead Guitar, Vocals
Pat Manian - Percussion, Vocals
