Hawthorne Heights Home School Hangouts

Hawthorne Heights

Hawthorne Heights, always being clever with new marketing ideas, have launched a new home school hangout product:

In part one of our Home School series, we will be giving you an in depth and inside look at our debut album, The Silence in Black and White.   We have put together a master class style presentation detailing stories from the beginning of our band, the writing process, early tours and our memories from being in the studio making the album.  JT will be going through lyrics from the album in detail and explaining where his mindset was when writing them. We will also chronicle what they mean to us now. 

Event Safety Alliance Releases Reopening Safety Guide for Venues

Billboard:

So Adelman and Worek, the operations director, spent the past month crowd-sourcing more than 400 tour promoters, managers, Ticketmaster employees, caterers and Irish-fair organizers and released a 29-page guide on Monday. Given contradictory, confusing and evolving state stay-at-home restrictions — bars in Kansas are allowed to open as of May 18 at half capacity, while live concerts resume in Branson, Missouri, this coming Friday — organizers of the non-profit concert-business group decided to add expertise and clarity.

The Day the Live Concert Returns

Foo Fighters

Dave Grohl, writing in The Atlantic:

In today’s world of fear and unease and social distancing, it’s hard to imagine sharing experiences like these ever again. I don’t know when it will be safe to return to singing arm in arm at the top of our lungs, hearts racing, bodies moving, souls bursting with life. But I do know that we will do it again, because we have to. It’s not a choice. We’re human. We need moments that reassure us that we are not alone. That we are understood. That we are imperfect. And, most important, that we need each other. I have shared my music, my words, my life with the people who come to our shows. And they have shared their voices with me. Without that audience—that screaming, sweating audience—my songs would only be sound. But together, we are instruments in a sonic cathedral, one that we build together night after night. And one that we will surely build again.
