One of the two lists that I generally follow in order to gain concert information to post in my blog has closed down - leaving me only ONE list PLUS band connection emails/websites. For this reason, I will be posting show suggestions less often and focusing on music reviews and musician interviews in a less regular fashion. I may continue to recommend a show here and there or add a concert flyer, however there will no longer be regular suggestions.
