Our 3rd trip back to Sweeny’s this summer and another great time. Thanks to Sweeny’s for having us, Staci Bolno for setting everything up, and thanks to Close To Death and Bound By Nothing (BxN) for sharing the stage with us.
Our biggest show yet – Highline Ballroom
Shows like this are why we do it. It was the 2 year anniversary of Gotham Rocks, Mike and Adrian’s birthday, and our first time at Highline. We played to a packed house of over 600 people and got to share the stage with some NYC greats like King Hell, Queen V, 13th Floor, and, for the first time in 9 months, Shadows Lie. The night was an overall success to say the least and one of the best w...[Read More]
Philly Mini-tour
For our 2nd trip we hit Sweeny’s and The Cherrywood. After the bassist for the first band at Sweeny’s had a heart attack the club asked us to play two sets which we did. Thankfully, he’s alright. The next night we played with friends Bound By Nothing at The Cherrywood. Thanks to Sweeny’s for some awesome cheesesteaks. We’ll be back on Aug 12.
Hey Brighton, we’re back
For our 2nd trip back to Brighton we were part of a killer line-up that featured Black Water Rising, Killcode, and Cycle of Pain. It was a loose, fun night and we were happy to take a few requests from the crowd including Zep’s “Living Loving”, and Soundgarden’s “Outshined”. Special thanks to DJ Alex for putting it all together! We’re looking forward to co...[Read More]
A Biker Bar, Our First Van Problem & Rockstars in PA
Friday we headed out to Jugs and Strokers; a biker bar in Merrick, Long Island for 4 sets of music from 10PM – 3AM in what was our longest gig ever played. This place was great; cheap food and drinks, good people, and lots of tattoos and Harley’s…our kind of hangout. Unfortunately, the night ended with our van having some issues that ultimately cost us a pretty penny and half of ...[Read More]
Kicking Off A Week Of Shows
We played 3 shows this week, one in NYC which was Fan Appreciation Night. It was free for all in more ways than one. Let’s leave it at that, you’ll have to come to the next one to get the full experieince. Next up was our first trip to Pennsburg, PA opening for Maddam Ink a band we know well from many shows in NY. And bringing up the rear was a benefit show for abused Chilren at Sweeny...[Read More]
College Point In Elmira, NY Round 2
Our 2nd trip back to College Point and in classic DR fashion it was better than the first. This time around there were a slew of bands on the bill including Drop Clutch (Dirtbag Records) and Stemm (Steamline Productions). Many thanks again to Bridget for helping to set all this up, and to Jeremy and Jerome for running the show. We’re looking forward to coming back soon.
Hitting NJ for the first time in a while
Our first trip to the Brighton Bar in Long Branch, NJ was a success. Set up by DJ Alex, the night featured The Deadliez, 13th Floor, ZO2 and yours truly. We had a great time playing with the bands and making new fans in a part of Jersey we haven’t really been to. Thanks to Paulie Z for coming onstage for our own rendition of Zep’s Living Lovin’ Maid. We’re looking forward t...[Read More]
Gotham Rocks At Crash Mansion
Another double header for DR, we did the usual set at 10PM and then came back out again after Gotham Rocks ended for a quick set of drunken revelry which included a few covers from Zep, Soundgarden, Sabbath, and Alice In Chains. Our good buddy Nick from Mother came up and (beer in hand) helped sing a few with us. This was also a Gotham Rocks birthday celebration for a few of our closest fans and B...[Read More]
Elmira, The Land Of Emo & Death Metal
We squeezed the 5 of us into Pete’s car after rehearsal on Friday and headed out to PA for a little R&R before Saturday night’s gig in Elmira, NY. We met some good people, put our little stamp on Elmira and are looking forward to heading back again soon. Thanks to Bridget for setting this all up, and to Jerome for having us.
Jammin’ with The D.R.A.M.A. Kings
Our first trip to DC to play with The D.R.A.M.A. Kings at Jammin Java. This was a great club and the crowd was very enthusiastic. Despite traffic circles, streets with the same name, and a VA Trooper with a REALLY bad attitude, it was still a fun weekend. Some partied harder than others, and although we won’t mention any names (ahem…Adrian….) we will say that there is some rather...[Read More]
Gotham Rocks @ Crash
Always thinking of new ways to entertain our fans, this time around we decided to play an extra set at the end of the night which consisted of some of the best songs by our favorite artists. Guest singing with us was Rob from FEFF, Nick from Zodiac, Pamela from 2nd & 2nd’s karaoke, Bob Scofield, and Angie Vargas. Another great night, another fun time, and another round of drinks for the ...[Read More]
