Relix to stay open

News from the Brooklyn Vegan is that Relix and Jambands.com are to stay open after being sold. the magazine was unsure of it's future but luckily found a buyer. I have been talking for ages about the unfortunate decline of "jamband" related music, mostly due to all the horrible jambands out there who play who bore people so bad, it ruins the reputation of the talented ones. I recently discovered a very cool Relix mobile channel on my verizon cell phone, something very unexpected. we love Relix for keeping good music alive here in NYC despite the constant onslaught of hip music that comes with a 1-3 year expiration stamp. Relix was started originally under the title "Dead Reilix," to cover the tapers subculture of the Grateful Dead, it dropped the Dead from it's name in the mid 70's and expanded it's scope to include a multitude of genres.
