Since we’re all getting used to one another, it would probably help to do a bit of exposition before we get too far along. Before it becomes that thing where we know each other, but one of us doesn’t quite remember the other’s name, and it’s too late for proper introductions. Awkward. Much of FrontRow speaks for itself, but there is one wrinkle that probably needs some explaining.
Twitter will be integral to how we cover music here at FrontRow. Which is to say: you, the reader, the concertgoer, will be integral to how we cover it. At least in one respect: live music.
Unlike a theater production or a gallery show, concerts are generally a one-time-only proposition. So if you weren’t there, it doesn’t help much to read about what you weren’t at, and won’t be able to go to anytime soon. Especially not from someone who probably didn’t pay to get in anyway. That’s more like rubbing it in, right?
But we don’t want to ignore it. On occasion, depending on the band, yes, we will weigh in, because we won’t be able to help it. For the most part, though, it’s up to you, the fans, to tell everyone if they missed out — or if they dodged a bullet.
The way it will work is simple: follow us at twitter.com/D_FrontRow. When you’re out and about, tell us (@D_FrontRow) what you’re seeing/hearing and what you think. Or wait until after, if you don’t want to take your attention away from the band. The next morning, we’ll compile the most interesting tweets into a hive mind concert review.
I’m Zac, by the way.

Hey Zac! I love this idea and applaud D Magazine for being so progressive in its engagement of the Twitterverse to help provide fodder for this blog. I look forward to reading (an participating) what you and your readers have to offer.
Welcome to the party!
