Members of Right on Red have been playing together off-and-on in various incarnations for 25 years. Along the way, members have opened for The Allman Brothers, Levon Helm, and Phil Lesh, played on a Clash tribute album with the likes of Camper Van Beethoven and The Smithereens, and appeared in countless regrettable gigs in between. In this current go-round, the three-piece finds new mojo building and burning the bridges between indie rock, alt-country, and noise.

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.
