Michael Dorf founded his first music venue, the Knitting Factory, in New York City in 1986. In the years since, his business has weathered all kinds of calamities. “We were probably the closest venue to the World Trade Center area back in 2001,” Dorf says. “I’ve been open during blackouts and hurricanes. We’ve been through other international virus concerns.” But the latest, the growing global outbreak of Covid-19, “has a whole different intensity and uncertainty to it,” he acknowledges. “It’s unclear how far it can spiral out.”

In 2009, Anders Osborne found himself at rock bottom. He was bankrupt, his house was in foreclosure, his wife had kicked him out, and he couldn’t see his two young kids. His livelihood was playing gigs, but he couldn’t even do that — he’d often show up too drunk or high to perform. “For close to a year, I’d [either] try to find a friend’s couch to sleep on [or] I lived in the park,” says Osborne, a New Orleans-based singer-songwriter who’s collaborated with everyone from Phil Lesh to Tim McGraw.

An attendee managed to get Dillon’s performance of his new single “Nobody” on camera: Other new media stars graced the stage with some crowd-pleasing variety sketches (apparently Jc Caylen poured a bucket of water over Dylan Dauzat’s head). Participating YouTubers included Connor Franta, JennXPenn, Caylen, Dauzat, Luke Korns, and Lohanthony, while Viners included AlxJames, Brent Rivera, Chris Collins, and Crawford Collins.

Fullscreen is leveraging the offline personalities of its creative partners. The company that stands as one of YouTube's most popular multi-channel networks has announced Intour, a live event that will feature at least a dozen YouTube creators. In order to put on this live event, Fullscreen has turned to Kevin Lyman, who is best known for creating Warped Tour. The yearly punk rock festival caters to a young audience, and Intour will similarly target the tween and teen fans of popular YouTube stars. “When approached by Fullscreen to help produce this event, it made total sense given our history of developing longstanding music festivals,” said Lyman, whose company is called 4Fini. “These creators have built incredible relationships with fans with their videos, and we’re excited to bring that online experience off the screens and onto the stage.” Intour will take place on September 13th at the Pasadena Convention Center.

Beginning April 2nd, the much talked about Vans Warped Tour documentary, No Room For Rockstars, will be available for purchase exclusively on iTunes! No Room For Rockstars will also be available on DVD/ VOD on May 15th. For 17 years, the Vans Warped Tour has been a punk rock juggernaut, a misfit circus crisscrossing North America every summer as a wandering minstrel show for youth culture. Embracing a powerful, unifying ethic created by its founder Kevin Lyman, the Vans Warped Tour has grown and prospered as the music industry itself imploded and continues to sift through the rubble in search of a new way forward. Along the way, Warped has provided a launching pad for a dizzying array of talent, from Green Day and Blink 182 to Ice-t, Eminem and No Doubt, along with perennial punk legends...

If there’s anybody who would be, it’s Kevin Lyman, at least in his field. The festival founder has experienced the ups and downs of an all-ages roving festival during the pre- and post-internet music business wipe-out. He’s adjusted his lineups and caps from year to year, emphasizing that success is in the ability to adapt to tastes and costs; he’s followed that demand into other touring festival sectors, with events like Taste of Chaos, Country Throwdown and...

When does free Wi-Fi, a selection of $5 entrées, and hip décor fail to draw a throng of eager diners? When it's a mom-and-pop eatery owned and operated by locals, for locals (or anyone who wants to feel like a local). The problem faced by many of these earnest endeavors is that despite trying various promotions to attract customers, the way the big chains do, they don't have the resources to reach them. Combine that lack of resources with overall tightening of consumers' wallets and it's a wonder any independent restaurants are still open for business.
But some are beating the odds.
Kokopelli Mexican Cantina, for one. The family-owned restaurant has been serving southwestern fare in Prairie Village, Kansas, for just over five years. At the end of 2009, in the midst of a lingering recession, Kevin Lyman says they will have an 8% increase over last year. "We are up 18% total spent from 2007," he adds.

Vans Warped Tour co-founder Kevin Lyman plans to launch a traveling country tour next summer. Lyman, who also bowed the Taste of Chaos and Mayhem tours, tells our former colleague, Billboard's Ray Waddell, that the time is right to move further into country. Given the tremendous sold-out success of last week's Stagecoach Festival, we'd have to agree. Plenty of the other multi-day festivals, such as Bonnaroo or Austin City Limits, incorporate country acts, but there is no multi-city, multi-artist tour geared toward the country audience.

NEW YORK -- Matthew Lillard will star in the Lighthouse Entertainment 1980s-set teen comedy Endless Bummer, playing a surf shop owner who helps a group of teens track down a prized stolen surfboard.
The actor joins rocker Joan Jett, Khan Chittenden (Introducing the Dwights) and Jane Leeves (Frasier) for the feature. He plays a veteran surfer who built the board and joins its current owner and friends on a road trip from Ventura, Calif., to the San Fernando Valley to get it back.
Bummer is based on the real-life experiences of screenwriter John 'J.D.' Drury. Lillard joins the production of director Sam Pillsbury's feature this week.
Lighthouse's Steven Siebert (The Darwin Awards, The Rookie) is producing the film with Drury, Todd Wiseman and John Sclimenti (Riding in Vans With Boys). Rosemary Marks ("thirteen") is co-producing.
Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman will executive produce with Darren Quon. The Bummer soundtrack will include new covers of '80s songs from several Vans Warped Tour artists.
"This is a genuine story of a pivotal day for a group of young Ventura surfers in 1984," Siebert said.
