I have been to hundreds if not thousands of shows in my lifetime in every possible type of venue one could think of. However I can honestly say I might have seen a show at the coolest setting ever when I recently saw Shadow Monster play the Rock Star Bearings x Andrea Tumbas Game Of War event recently at Skate Brooklyn in Park Slope.
The actual performance area was a room for skateboarders and the stage was on an actual ramp. The energy & vibe from everyone in the packed room was super positive & created the perfect environment for Gillian & John to deliver an electric performance.
They powered through a killer 7 song set that each & every person in the crowd ate up with complete satisfaction. Having 2 people challenging one another in the enclosed skating cage was a nice visual touch to the set.
By time the set was done, Shadow Monster definitely gained many new fans & rightfully so as they continue to show why they are hands down the best band in NYC these days bar none!
