The Ground UP Rock-Down offers a slamming line-up of Brooklyn-based bands -- The Swedes, Nees and Vos, Royal American and The Blue and Red 3D Spectacular – and unlimited free beer. Tickets are $18 in advance at http://www.groundupproductions.org or $20 at the door.

The Swedes have been lauded for ripping “a page from the Darkness’s glam-revival book, adding fun disco squiggles and chant-along whoo!s to their stadium rock pomposity" by Time Out New York. Nees and Vos’s brand of heartland soul has been called “a great soundtrack for summer nights” by Bootlog. Drawing comparisons to Spoon and Rhett Miller, Royal American is a blend between the distinctive edge of New York and the jazzy feel of New Orleans. The Blue and Red 3D Spectacular is performance art, organic electronica, complete with special 3D glasses for audience members and an accompanying spectacular laser light show.


All proceeds from The Ground UP Rock-Down benefit Ground UP Productions, the non-profit theatrical company behind smash hits The Optimist and The People vs. Mona. The Brooklyn Salsa Company and the Opera House Lofts make the event possible. Must be 21+.
