Sit tight, take hold (of yr butts), because the latest entrant into Union Square’s burgeoning nighttime scene is new rock club Thunder Road, set to open up shop at 379 Somerville Ave this coming Tuesday, September 8. The space boasts of two floors, coffee-rubbed bourbon ribs, among other ~fancy bar foods~, live music seven nights a week and, most importantly, a 90s night on Thursdays (your move, Common Ground).

It looks like the venue’s first act will be The Party Band, a New Oreleans-style brass band made up of 20 members that hails from Lowell. In fact, it seems The Party Band will be a Thunder Road mainstay, headlining every Tuesday – ahem, “Fat Tuesday” – for the foreseeable future.
