Chicago, IL – One of the biggest rock music festivals of the
year kicks off in Chicago on Sept. 12. This is a three day long festival thatis featuring the best acts in alternative music including The Cure, JanesAddiction, Weezer, Primus, Tegan and Sara, Cheap Trick, and many more. The days
are going to be filled with live performances and will even feature some
surprises like the return of the indie music legend Television. This festival
comes just a few weeks after Lollapalooza in Grant Park. This is one city that
has its eye focused on bringing in great music and also creating a solid
experience for the fans.
Pop culture based website, Hot Metro Finds, will be there to
check out the live performances and to take notes on up and coming bands. Right
now the sites creator, Ted Cantu, is swapping notes with concert promoters for
Riot Fest and even with some of the bands including The Buzzcocks and the
Murder City Devils. The idea here is to immerse the site with real culturalexperiences that are authentic and real to the fans and telling true fact based
media. A lot of the insight about what the concert is designed to do and how
the participants interact with the fan base is important and is being done in
real time.
“This type of inside real time reporting is great for the
bands and its also great for the fans.” Says Ted Cantu. “The communication and
cross promotion is happening without the involvement of uninformed journalists
who typically report on road and school closings. They are exchanging inside
information on record labels, producers and real experiences.”
Recently rock and roll fans have created strong social media
communication with one another over the recent Queen and Adam Lambert concert.
The tour originally started out as a 24 city North American tour including a stop
in Michigan,(The Palace of Auburn Hills). The fans covered the bands recent
tour in Japan and in Perth, Australia. They are exchanging fan art, band
photos, and all of this is being handled without the influence of outside
journalists who are often clueless about the history of the bands the fans love
and cherish.
