**Thelma & the Sleaze**

Thelma and the Sleaze is an independent all-female, queer southern rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. The group is the brain-child of lead vocalist and guitar player Lauren "LG" Gilbert.

In 2005, Gilbert – who was born in Kankakee, IL but grew up in Kentucky and Iowa came to Nashville at the age of 21 to study audio engineering. In 2006, Gilbert joined the all-female punk rock band the Trampskirts as a guitar player. Gilbert was in Trampskirts until 2009 when the band dissolved.

In 2010, Gilbert and fellow Trampskirts band members including drummer Jacki Macri and bass player Emily “Baby Angel” Zimmer founded Thelma and the Sleaze. The band's first show was on November 8, 2010 and was themed after the film Thelma and Louise. One member of Trampskirts departed after their first show and then in 2011, drummer Jacki Macri left the band. The band added Indianapolis native Chase “Tender” Noelle on drums and Beth Finney on lead guitar. The lineup of Gilbert, Zimmer, Noelle and Finney debuted on February 7, 2012, opening for Jack White's Black Belles.
