It’s hard to believe that Seattle Rock Guy the blog has been around for 6 months already, and so far the response has exceeded any and all expectations. Music is a passion/obsession of mine, and since June the blog has been a nice outlet for venting about the many shows I’ve attended in the second half of 2009. For 2010 I want nothing more than to grow this thing into something that’ll be around for awhile. With that said, I have given it some thought and have decided to extend Seattle Rock Guy’s coverage by adding some new voices to the mix. It has become apparent in recent weeks that in order to successfully keep up with all the important rock, metal, punk, indie bands, shows, records, and news available, I need help. I have recently extended invitations to a few other local rock guys to help me spread the good word, and fight the good fight.
Since things are changing from a one man show to a collective of Seattle Rock Guys, I’d like to introduce my first new contributor, Matt Abramson. I was lucky enough to have met Matt through social networking sites like Blip.fm and Twitter, and quickly realized that we both share a common love for some of the finer things in life including heavy music and stoner metal vinyl. We also realized we’ve banged our heads at many of the same shows over past fews years, and most recently kicked it at the Earth/Pelican/Sunn O))) show in August and Om in September. Metal Matt is an extremely knowledgeable music resource, not to mention he even wields a mighty axe himself. I am very excited and honored that he has signed up to lend his voice to Seattle Rock Guy. The other day I asked Matt if he’d be up for writing some record reviews as his first contribution. Record reviews are one thing I wish I had more of on the site, now I do. What totally rules is he chose two of my favorite records from 2009. Welcome Matt Abramson to the Seattle Rock Guy fold. RAWK!!
