An OTBKB reader sent word of a new album from the owner of Song, a fave Park Slope Thai restaurant. Sure, Song is named Song, but who knew the owner was also a “kick-ass rocker.”

I wanted to introduce you to a kick-ass rocker out of Brooklyn, Ariel Aparicio, who I thought you might be interested in blogging about.
Ariel is a Brooklynite at heart (though Cuban-born and Miami-raised); not only making his home in BK, but also home for the 2 successful Thai restaurants he owns: Joya in Cobble Hill, and its sister establishment Song, in Park Slope.
Ariel’s vocal stylings run the gamut from the ultra-cool Iggy Pop & The Stooges-style mumblings, to Bowie-esque pop-punk precision, to the modern-rocker style of Julian Casablancas of The Strokes.
Ariel’s new album, All These Brilliant Things, is set for hard release at the end of October
