It was decently active week on Live Music Blog, most notably due to the addition of one of our newest writers, Kathryn Vercillo. There’s more to come on this in the next few weeks, but I’m adding some new writers to the site that you’ll start to see more and more of. I’ll introduce them as they come in and I’ll provide an update once they’re all in (for the short term), and then I’ll let you in on our strategy over the next year or so. You deserve to know what our intentions are with Live Music Blog as we owe all of our traffic to you, the readers…
And we all know that certainly counts for something…
At any rate, use your Monday procrastination time to get comfortable with our posts from last week and expect some great blogging up on the site this week.

“I’m going to hit this subject a lot harder over the next few weeks, but it amazes me that more bands are not using blogs and podcasting as a way to reach out to their fans. Especially their live music. Most bands have a treasure trove of material that their fans would love to hear, and yet it goes untapped and mostly ignored by most in the music industry.”
That’s it for last week folks — see any good shows last week?
