Uptown Rumble: Heavy Music in The Bronx Exhibit Opening

Join us on April 24, 2025 at 6pm for the free opening of Uptown Rumble: Heavy Music in The Bronx, an exhibit that explores the rich and little-known history of Bronx bands and musicians playing in the heavier registers of rock music including hard rock, heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal, hardcore, and more, from the 1960s through the early 2000s.

The opening will feature food from Liebman's deli, owned by the drummer of legendary Bronx band Irate, as well as some special surprises from From The Bronx.

The exhibit will be up through November 2025 and will feature various events and programs both at our Museum and at other sites, so stay tuned!
