These veterans of the local indie-rock scene take a lot of pride in writing original material that showcases their love for vintage tones and carefully crafted multi-instrumentation. The future offers an endless amount of opportunity for this quintet. Don't miss the chance to grow, progress, and drink with The Thirsties."

The GadgetsThe Gadgets - "We write pop songs with things left out."
"Like a more hi-fi Guided by Voices, a more sober Replacements or a female-fronted Hüsker Dü, The Gadgets spit out short-n-sweet power-pop tunes that get by on muscular riffs, agile drumming and angelic singing." - The Free Times
