Rockspots New York app for iPhone and iPad

Travel through the history of rock with this app. Rockspots New York guides you through the streets where rock history was made: Where John Lennon was killed. Where Hip Hop was born. Where David Bowie met Iggy Pop. Where Madonna worked as a hat check girl.

This app takes you to the places where it all happened. Where the careers of The Ramones, Blondie and Velvet Underground got started. Where Bob Dylan had his first professional performance. Where Bob Marley had his last. Where they lived, met, played, hung out and died. Andy Warhol’s Factory, Chelsea Hotel, Fillmore East, Café Wha?, Studio 54, CBGB, Maxs Kansas City. Many of the historical spots are long gone, but now you can relive the story.

Through search criteria such as Home, Concert Venue, Birthplace, Death Site, Burial Site, Album Cover and Recording Studio you’ll be closer to the story than ever before. Rockspots New York lets you search for specific artists (more than 20 spots related to Bob Dylan only!), music video locations or the story behind a song.

Take your iPhone for a trip around New York City, or do the traveling at home. You can read the stories and save your favorites for a later pilgrimage. Find the spots easily on the map and get the directions on how to get there from your own location.
