GIFTSHOP
GIFTSHOP formed in 2007 at a soon-to-be-condemned New York City basement recording studio. Featuring members of The Hi-Scores and the lead singer of Bee Eater, they quickly discovered their unique 21 Century Punk/Alternative Rock/Pop musical style and recorded the five-song 800 Million EP. GIFTSHOP has played at over 60 venues in New York City, Rochester and Philadelphia. The band's high energy and dynamic live shows earned the group a dedicated following in a particular neighborhood that propelled them to record BigInAstoria, which is a hashtag and 2019 EP. In 2022, the band participated in the April and September 2022 Otto's Benefit for Ukraine partnering with Razom to provide funds for essential support and stabilization. In May 2022, GIFTSHOP's Things I Feel was featured on the season finale of ABC 's hit series The Rookie. The band closed out 2022 with a toy drive at Shillelagh Tavern hosted by the NYC hard rock Irish band, Begorrah, and recorded the Loded Diaper song for the newest Whimpy Kid book - Scholastic Book Club's storyvoice.live. A new EP slated for early 2023 is cooking in the recording studio right now! COME VISIT: giftshoptheband.com
