Brooklyn's Own 'Gas House Gorillas' at Hopkin's Icehouse Friday

"The Gas House Gorillas" hail from Brooklyn and will make their first appearance at Hopkin's Icehouse Friday night.

The Gas House Gorillas bring the audience into the show, spurring fans to sing, dance and get wild. Cutting up with each other and the crowd, the Gorillas are more than a great band, they are great entertainers as well.

The band describes their sound as "Punk Americana," which encompasses a broad range of styles that include Jump Blues, Rock & Roll, Roots Rock, Swing, Cajun, Zydeco with Punk Rock energy. Artists as diverse as Wynonie Harris, Groucho Marx, Sam Cooke, Fats Waller, and The Ramones all coexist in the Gorillas musical and on stage presentation.

The Gorillas have been burning down clubs and festivals all over the country. Summer 2013 saw the release of Punk Americana on Lanark Records, which became the No. 1 and No. 2 most downloaded rock album in the country competing against national and international recording artists. An impressive accomplishment!

The Gas House Gorillas are considered by many to be the most fearlessly uninhibited performers ever witnessed and a sure-fire guarantee for a rippin’ good time!
