Captain Driggs, Gowanus, Ariel Bitran at The Rock Shop!

Captain Driggs

A little of this and a little of that. From funk to reggae and Latin to
punk, from meaty growls to silky serenades, Captain Driggs produces
honest music without boundaries. The thread that holds it all together
is the fun and soulful attitude and the undeniable chemistry among these
Brooklyn band mates: Matt Domser (Bass), Dan Roehrig (Guitar), Stephen
Burd (Vocals, Ukulele), Tesa Arozqueta (Vocals), and Brandon McClaskey
(Drums).


Gowanus

Gowanus is an experimental rock trio that has its origins in the
neighborhood surrounding the toxic Brooklyn waterway that shares its
name. The group uses traditional analog instrumentation in combination
with digital effects and sampling to create a unique sound that infuses
elements of jam-based improvisation, electro-funk and straight up the
middle, American rock 'n roll. The trio released their debut album, And
To the Lost, in February 2012 and is hard at work on their follow up
album, due out sometime later this year.


Ariel Bitran

Ariel Bitran is a New York City creative who harnesses the powers of
dynamic songwriting with witty words, pop hooks, and a good sense of
humor. Songs from Koholint Island, Bitrans thirteen-part contiguous
song-series based on the The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, is the
story of Link and his quest to wake the Windfish. Most importantly, this
progressive-folk epic is an exploration of the protagonists emotions as
he fights monsters, buys hookers, and questions his own existence
within this virtual reality. Bitrans retelling of the video game is
catchy, funny, and delightfully human.
