I can’t stop. The itch is just too great. People have tried to get me to stop, but I just can’t. It’s my drug of choice and there’s no stopping me. Heroin? No. Meth? No. Alcohol? No. No, it’s a much more expensive habit… live concerts.
I go to a concert almost every night of my life. I have met some of the coolest people and had some of the best experiences because of it.
My goal for this blog is to write about the experiences that keep me itching for the high of a live concert. I don’t want to just write about the music, I want to write about the crowd, the mosh pits (or lack there of), the fashion… I want to write about everything that the mainstream music bloggers will not write about. I plan on writing after every show I go to no matter how dumb or small or huge. Every live concert has a new and different experience
In the year of 2020, shows stopped and I felt like I had lost everything. I spent months wallowing in my self-pity and feeling my mental health decline until I reached a breaking point. I needed something and, without shows being an option, I decided to try my hand at reviewing new music and actually fell in love with doing it. Although I will never claim to be a Rolling Stone type album reviewer, I have found joy in reviewing new music spanning all genres and hope you enjoy the releases I review!

I subscribed to your content a month ago or so and am amazed by your content, both the quantity and the quality! I’ve been at a few of the shows you covered and feel your takes are not only fair but give a window into the shows we can’t attend to help local music lovers feel even more connected to the scene. Keep up the great work!

I’m getting constant emails from Concert Archives from you adding your blog link to old shows I’ve gone to… love it! Your blog is a fantastic way to remember and relive some great shows. Keep up the awesome work!

HAHA! So sorry for all of the emails and updates! My goal is to have all of my concert going documented by the end of the week so then I don’t have this giant backlog looming over me.
I appreciate you checking it out!
