Thrashnetic stands as a living tribute, commemorating the passion and legacy of Josh Russo. Their first ALL AGES event at X-Ray Arcade on April 6th celebrates the music and ethos he cherished: industrial and electronic genres. Thrashnetic's mission is to foster understanding and aid for individuals grappling with mental health issues and those touched by su***de. Collaborating with PREVENT SU***DE WISCONSIN & WMSE 91.7FM, the aim is to raise awareness and support.

Join us for the after-party gathering at Last Rites following the live show at X-Ray. Show your support for this great cause.
