The Rainbooms

The Rainbooms are a band consisting of the human counterparts of the six pony friends from the television series who appear in the film My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks as well as its animated shorts. The band consists of Sunset Shimmer (formerly Twilight Sparkle) on lead vocals, Rainbow Dash on electric guitar and (initially) lead vocals, Applejack on bass, Rarity on keytar, Fluttershy on tambourine, and Pinkie Pie on drums. After Twilight leaves, Sunset Shimmer joins as vocalist and guitarist.
