NYC Promoter Gotham Rocks Announces 27 Additional Branded Events for 2011
NYC-based Gotham Rocks, a modern rock showcase series now in its third year, has announced thirty-eight events now on the calendar from May through December. Twenty-seven of the events are presented by Gotham Rocks, while an additional eleven will be presented under the No Mercy Metal moniker.
Gotham Rocks has announced an expansive calendar for 2011.
Gotham Rocks was founded in 2008 by Cary Tamura and Mike Sankari, to address what they saw as a growing need for a new-vision promoter in the NY scene that would be solely focused on nurturing rising talent in and around NYC.
In the course of exposing bands to music industry, media, new fans and other acts in the region, Gotham Rocks has staged over 50 modern rock/metal shows a year at venues such as Gramercy Theater, Highline Ballroom, Irving Plaza, Crash Mansion, Six Flags Great Adventure (Jackson, NJ) and many others.
The company also continues to explore viable avenues for talent in Long Island, New Jersey via their alliance with Great Adventure, and other regions. Outside of talent based in the New York area, bands from California, Kentucky, Florida, Japan and other locales have also been invited to take part in Gotham Rocks’ independent concert series.
Along the way, Gotham Rocks has raised thousands of dollars and awareness for local non-profits like The Door, Tuesday’s Children and Lifebeat. Gotham Rocks and No Mercy Metal also share a mission statement to promote environmental responsibility in their work with Green Mountain Energy, a renewable energy utilities option for residents in NYC.
