Here's what's going down:
The Derek James/April Smith cruise is moving forward exactly 24 hours, to Sunday September 7th. Otherwise all details are the same - same boat, same times. If you purchased tickets in advance and can't make the Sunday cruise, contact Ticketweb and they will issue a full refund.
The Slap You In Public/Gildas & Masaya cruise that was supposed to be late Saturday night is now happening Sunday afternoon - boarding at 2pm, cruise from 3-6. Same deal applies, re: Ticketweb & refunds. We think an afternoon dance cruise will be a lot of fun...
The Mets game, and therefore the Mets cruise, have been postponed to Sunday. The game will begin at 2:15pm; the cruise will begin boarding at 11:30AM and leave East23rd Street at noon, arriving in Queens between 1:30 & 2. All tickets - game and cruise - will be honored. If you purchased tickets and can't make it, email jessica@rocksoff.com ASAP and she'll be glad to help you. If your tickets were cruise-only we can issue an automatic refund. If you bought a game ticket through us as well we can refund the price of the cruise, but not the price of the Mets ticket. We will, however, mail your Mets tickets to you, and they can be exchanged at the stadium for tickets to another upcoming game.
They say there's a first time for everything...

Well, Rocks Off City, it's hard to believe, but September is here. It's been a long crazy summer in our little corner of the world, and we hope yours as well...and it ain't over yet! We still have 20 concert cruises on the books coming up, and a few more up our sleeves, so strap in and let's have some fun before winter comes and the streets are once again covered in nasty grey sludgy accumulated NYC snow.
Why, just in the next week-or-so we've got a cruise of 8-bit Gameboy music (September 5th), a nearly sold-out cruise to the Saturday of the final Mets vs. Phillies series at Shea (September 6th), a living rock legend in a rare solo performance (H.R. of Bad Brains, September 8th), kickass Brooklyn alt-country (O'Death, September 10th), great NYC power-pop (Bryan Scary & The Shredding Tears, September 11th), dancefloor-rattling livetronica (Future Rock, September 12th), and the first of our SEVEN (and counting) shows at Irving Plaza this fall, Lez Zeppelin on September 13th.
And there's way more on the horizon as we move our operations to dry land for the winter...when it comes to making awesome rock shows happen so you can momentarily forget the utter meaninglessness of existence, Sancho does not rest.
except for his daily siesta, of course,

Holy shit it's almost Labor Day weekend!
Fortunately, we have a whopping ELEVEN concert cruises this week, so you can get your remedial summertime fun in before it's too late. Some of the highlights include a sold-out rager with the elusive Electron on Wednesday, our beloved old friends The Slackers on Thursday (which looks like it's gonna sell out too), a double-header of The Machine and motherfucking Fishbone on Friday, and Sancho Dominguez's 35th birthday bash on Saturday with Kid Koala. Opening the Koala cruise will be the first performance in over a year by the legendary Rodney Speed Experience - and if you know what that means, you better fuckin' be there.
And then it will be September, but fear not - we have 20 cruises on the books for September & October as of now, and we're still adding more...we're not getting off the boat till the river freezes.
And we have 7 fucking shows coming up at Irving Plaza this fall, and plenty more goin on, but there'll be time for all that later...for now, we suggest in the strongest possible terms that you come out on a boat with us this week. Feel the ever-cooler breeze in your hair, see those wacky waterfalls from up close before they turn 'em off and the guy who made 'em goes back to Finland or wherever the fuck, go raise your glass for Lady Liberty and see a show on NYC's only moving concert venue before it's wintertime and we all wanna kill ourselves.
love,
