Local Band Review: Greg Flint, Michael Lawson and Lisa Sanchez Gonzalez. (April 16, 2012) |
1) Local Band Review
Two years ago, Local Band Review publisher and videographer Michael Lawson, along with fellow videographer Greg Flint, started taping local cover bands. “We built an audience before we built the blog,” Lawson said. “We already had a good YouTube audience for our videos. A lot of cover bands in Connecticut have money, and they funded us in some ways.” Flush with cash, the duo bought more equipment and hired a local music maven, Lisa Sanchez Gonzalez, to interview, review and photograph bands. These days, the six-month-old blog, with streaming media, band videos and photos, weekly columns and “shameless plugs,” where bands can input show information, has become wildly popular as a go-to destination for Connecticut music happenings, with 5,000 reads a week, page views in the hundreds of thousands and nearly 4,000 Facebook followers. “We've brought bands into the technical age,” said Flint. “And we've helped them bump up their own followings as well.”
