Research
This cyber-history of beginning rock bands
uses the Do-It-Yourself approach of most rock musicians: it allows the
people who have continually reinvigorated the music style to tell the story
of their beginnings. With rock bands having been started in a multitude
of locations, in every generation for over 40 years and with an amazing
variety of sub-styles, the Web provides an ideal forum for compiling a
profile of this explosion of grass roots music making.
Products
The portrait of beginning rock bands through
the years that the data from this site helps
create will be incorporated into my PhD
dissertation in Ethnomusicology (University of
Wisconsin--Madison). I will fully credit
you and the band you submit information about in that publication. If you
provide me with your e-mail address at the end of the survey, I will notify
you upon the publication of my work and let you know how you might obtain
a copy.
Privacy
This web site is part of a non-commercial
research project. I assure you that neither the
data you submit nor your contact information
will be shared with any other Web enterprise.
