Back Page Magazine Announces Launch

Back Page Magazine Announces Launch of Entertainment Website to Celebrate "Old-School" Music & Modern Culture. End Quote

Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) July 08, 2011 - Back Page Magazine, a music, journalism, and cultural entertainment website announced its launch this month - with a goal of being a convenient one-stop for people interested in timeless music and popular interest stories. Its location is www.backpagemagazine.com.

Conceived as a labor-of-love by founder/publisher Kevin Wachs, Back Page Magazine's focus will be on music and musicians from the 1960s through the 1990s - seasoned, established artists who are still recording, touring, and whose voices still remain relevant today.

Wachs, who owns a successful hemp personal-care company (Earthly Body) with his wife Mare, felt that he - as others - just didn't have the time to endlessly surf the internet trying to find music and articles on older artists. "I thought it would be cool to start collecting artists all in one place, and then eventually offer their music, books, whatever, right at our site."

Wachs wanted to create a homey website that had the nostalgic feel of an "old-school" music magazine yet kept up on the latest developments of classic rock songwriters and bands, as well as other popular musical genres from the past.

"The music industry has changed so dramatically," says Wachs. "So many talented artists - most without traditional record contracts - are scrambling to find their audiences. If your music isn't picked up by Starbucks or Target, many of your old fans won't even know that you're still alive, let alone that you're still making records. We want the Back Page Magazine site to be a platform for those artists."

Back Page Magazine will not confine itself to music, but plans to have a broad range of articles for "People Who Still Read. Or Skim."

For editorial content, Wachs enlisted the help of long-time cohort Jeff Cazanov. "Like Marlon Brando, I'm interested in everything," boasts Cazanov. "Back Page Magazine gives us an opportunity to compile stories not only about music, but about countless other topics as well - politics, art, books, even science and nature."

Cazanov fully realizes that the internet has its limitations. "People don't have the time to read much anymore, and if they do, they need to get their news and entertainment fast. Ultimately, we want to be a fun and easy source of information."

Wachs and Cazanov are both self-avowed "Boomers Who Don't Like The Term 'Boomer.'"
Although they trust that Back Page Magazine will appeal to an older demographic, Wachs adds: "Everyone knows that there are tons of younger people who think the past is cool."
