Michael Imperioli Rocks Brooklyn Bowl with ZOPA

Michael Imperioli Promotes Late-night Show

Michael Imperioli took to Instagram this week to fire up fans for a hometown concert. Under a moody, stage-lit shot, the Sopranos alum captioned his post: “NO SLEEP TIL BROOKLYNnSEE YOU TOMORROWnSTILL SOME TIX LEFT! GET EM QUICKnPC @oliverfitz.photo.” The message—posted at @realmichaelimperioli—doubles as a friendly reminder that tickets remain for his band’s appearance at Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday night.

Brooklyn Bowl, the iconic bowling-meets-music venue in Williamsburg, has hosted acts from Arcade Fire to Girl Talk. Imperioli’s scheduled show—kicking off around 10 p.m.—promises a blend of gritty rock and melodic hooks. Fans rushing to the box office will find remaining seats via the venue’s website; General Admission tickets start at $25.

Sopranos Star’s Musical Side

Long before he was Christopher Moltisanti, Imperioli nurtured a passion for songwriting. These days he channels that energy into ZOPA (Zone of Practical Alternatives), a four-piece outfit he fronts on guitar and vocals. In an earlier post the actor teased the June 12 gig: “Legendary night comin up! Thurs June 12 with @realmichaelimperioli and his unit @zopaband joining us Gogol B trio at BROOKLYN BOWL … GET your ticks n C ya there !”

Another update reinforced the excitement: “ZOPA plays BROOKLYN BOWL next Thursday JUNE 12 with The Outlaw Vinnie Stigma and Eugene Hutz from GOGOL BORDELLO. Get tickets thru LINK IN BIO. @brooklynbowl @stigma_nyc @eugene_hutz @gogolbordello @casagogolrecords photo by @lauren_a_krohn.” Both posts underline Imperioli’s hands-on role in curating a lineup that nods to punk and world-beat influences.

How To Grab Tickets

Tickets for Thursday’s show can be purchased directly at brooklynbowl.com or via the venue’s mobile app. With limited availability, fans are advised to act quickly—Imperioli’s teaser suggests only “some tix left.” Doors open at 8 p.m. and the music starts at 10 p.m., so early arrival is recommended to secure preferred standing room.

For VIP packages and meet-and-greet passes, check the Brooklyn Bowl site under the ‘Premium Tickets’ section. All ages are welcome; attendees under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
