About

Live Fix Blog merges the music-based writings and live concert experiments of writer/blogger Chris Catania. Based in Chicago, Chris interviews artists and fans, reviews concerts, festivals, events and albums for PopMatters, Ink19 and other online and print publications.

He leads the Live Fix community to celebrate, explore and question fan and artist behavior within the live music experience.

Live Fix Blog: The Online Laboratory

As any concert fan knows, the live concert experience is never short on wonders or amazing moments. We live in an age where the live music experience is constantly being redefined.

Through experiments focused on fan behavior and artist performance in live concert culture, Live Fix Blog serves as an online laboratory to better understand why we love live music so much and how it’s always evolving.

Chris uses social media tools, such as Twitter and YouTube, to discover  the deeper meaning behind the sociology, psychology and physiology of the live concert community experience.  And he invites you to check out What is Live Fix and Fans Are the Future of Music Journalism to see why he created Live Fix and how other fans and artists have joined the conversation.

Photos on Live Fix are taken by his wife, Colleen Catania.  If you’re going to use her photos please give her credit (you’ll be doing everyone a favor). You’re also invited to see more of Colleen’s photos on Flickr.
