Gotham Rocks Star Logo

Gotham Rocks started out as New York City’s premier modern rock showcase series. Now, in 2011 alone, Gotham Rocks put on over 60 live shows with over 100 bands, in front of more than 15,000 fans in NYC, Long Island and NJ. We put some of the best new local, regional and national bands into packed houses in front of fans and industry alike. We give people who live and breathe rock music a chance to hang out, connect and build together– all while catching some of the best bands and blazing performances to be seen in NYC.

Our bands have played thousands of shows all over the northeast and mid-atlantic and everywhere we go, people complain about their local rock scenes the same way. ”Its dead”, “There are no good bands” or “This isnt the place for our type of music”. Well come to a showcase and you will see that the real rock scene is not only alive but thriving here in NYC, and that there is no better place to see it and be a part of it than Gotham Rocks.

Gotham Rocks partners with companies that feel the same way we do about supporting new and independent bands and music. Companies that work with us to award prizes, endorsement deals, marketing help and national exposure that our bands both deserve and want. Since 2009 we have worked with Fox 5’s Fearless Music, Six Flags Great Adventure, Spector Guitars, DR Strings, Reverbnation.com, Musicsubmit.com, Soldouttour.com, Revolver Magazine and many others.

Gotham Rocks Gramercy Theater

No one in New York champions the up and coming rock and metal scenes like Tech-9 Music. We take the best up-and-coming, often unsigned, local, regional and national bands and book them at the best venues in New York City, Long Island and New Jersey– places like Irving Plaza, Gramercy Theater, Highline Ballroom, Six Flags Great Adventure, Mulcahy’s, Santo’s Party House, Crash Mansion, and Sullivan Hall. In 2011 we put on over 60 concerts, showcases and events in and worked over 100 bands from multi-platinum U.S. acts like Fuel to international acts like Girugamesh and Firewind to regional independent bands. We put these hardworking and talented bands on stages together through our rock and metal showcase series: Gotham Rocks and No Mercy Metal.

Gotham Rocks 3 Year Anniversary At Irving Plaza

Mike Sankari — Wed, 25 May 2011 15:45:40 +0000

The first Gotham Rocks showcase was in the Summer of 2008 and we are happy to celebrate our 3rd birthday at our biggest venue to date with some of the best talent we’ve had the pleasure of working with. Details are:

Thurs, 7/21
Doors at 7 PM
Irving Plaza
17 Irving Place
New York, NY 10003
Tickets Available Here

7:00 Woods Of Arden – Their goal is to bring kickass Hard N’ Heavy Rock to anyone who will take the time to listen, and even those who won’t.

7:45 Sweet Fix – CD RELEASE – Gritty rock & roll with a heavy dance groove and flirtatious attitude.

8:30 Bound By Substance – Rock ‘n’ roll with a splash of whiskey. 70s blues influenced rock meets early 90s rock.

9:15 Charetta – CD RELEASE – Their sound can be described as groove and bottom-heavy, blending passion and aggression with hook-driven melodies.

10:00 The August Infinity – CD RELEASE – Too hard to be considered pop but way too pop to be considered hard rock; seriously kids, this is how America writes music

10:45 Killcode – They won’t go quietly, and they won’t be nice about it, but, they will get the job done.

11:30 Crush Of Empires
