About
A new site on an old domain name
A rock music guide: where the genre came from, independent bands, how to see live music, gear for a small band, and music quizzes.
Who runs this site
This site has been operated by a new owner since November 2026. It is run as an independent site with no connection to the previous operator of this domain. To reach the people who run it, use the contact page.
What the domain was used for before
This domain previously belonged to a New England rock band formed in 2003. The site was later left empty and at one point carried unrelated content. The site here is a new site about rock music, set up by the current owner. We are not that band, we do not republish their biography, music or photographs, and we have no connection to the previous owner.
We do not restore any old page, download, audio file, photograph or biography from the previous operator, and we do not reuse the old design or the old text.
What this site covers
- Rock history, told through records and the people who made them.
- Independent and small-label bands worth the time it takes to find them.
- Practical notes on live shows: what to expect, how to prepare, how to listen well.
- Gear and sound for small bands working on small budgets.
What this site does not do
- We do not host, link to or distribute music downloads. Where we point at a track, it is an official service.
- We do not publish lyrics or repost other people's photographs without permission.
- We are not a band, and we are not affiliated with the previous operator of this domain.
How the content is made
Every piece is drafted with generative AI. The site owner reads it and approves its scope and sources before it is published; pieces are not edited line by line. Sources are listed at the end of each piece. The current state of that process is described on the editorial and AI policy page.
Corrections
If a date, a credit or a name here is wrong, write to contact@vegasradiorocks.com. Corrections that change the substance of a piece are noted in that piece.
