we're hitting the rockaways

GUNKs presenting two shows this summer at Rippers...

it’s summer in new york cityyy….. you know what that means.… im taking the g to the A to the rockaways every weekend and hannah’s taking the L to the A to the rockaways every weekend. many means of travel, all precious. we went on monday actually by car because we were god’s favorites. i went in the water and hannah didn’t. it was ridiculously cold. when we lived in queens hannah worked at gateway national park and biked to the rockaways every day. somehow i never joined. that summer we made nice cream literally every night.

when Shea Stadium, legendary diy booking collective, reached out to see if we wanted to co-present some shows at the famous Rippers this summer, where we would one hundred percent already be, we said definitely.

first up: on 6/21 from 5-9pm is Youbet, Gymshorts, Youth Large. we’re even kicking off the show by hitting the CDJ (promised on 5/28/25 on gunkyard.substack.com). this lineup goes crazy and i’m super stoked about it.

then, on 8/9, which I can hardly fathom because it’s so far away, from 5-9pm we have moon sand land, rat palace, pop music fever dream, strawberry runners, and gobbin jr. incredibly stacked bill which will also go crazy. august to look forward to.
