Former A.V. Club Milwaukee editor, writer, announce new website, Milwaukee Record
Milwaukee-focused music and culture site set to launch April 7
MILWAUKEE – March 18, 2014 – Former A.V. Club Milwaukee City Editor Matt Wild and former A.V. Club Milwaukee writer Tyler Maas are proud to announce the creation of their new website, the Milwaukee Record. Focusing on local music and culture, along with comedy, dining, film, art, and sports, the Milwaukee Record aims to be the city’s go-to source for smart, opinionated, and irreverent arts and entertainment coverage. The site is scheduled to launch Monday, April 7.
“After the untimely demise of A.V. Club Milwaukee, Tyler and I knew there was a void that needed to be filled in local music and culture coverage,” said co-founder and editor Matt Wild. “The Milwaukee Record will pick up where A.V. Club Milwaukee left off, providing in-depth features, opinion pieces, and local album and show reviews. But it will also take things to a new level with original video programming from Honeycomb Productions, exclusive album streams, and more adventurous content from a host of local writers. Milwaukee has come into its own in the last few years, and the Milwaukee Record intends to give the city the arts and entertainment coverage it deserves.”
“Plus,” Wild added, “We promise to post a bunch of funny pictures of Bob Uecker.”
“Together, I know Matt and I will provide thorough, fearless, and altogether unique content while expanding on a proven model to reach new, exciting, and occasionally uncomfortable places,” said co-founder and editor Tyler Maas.
Leading up to the April 7 launch, Wild and Maas will be posting occasional content on Milwaukee Record’s various social media pages. A launch party is scheduled for May 9 at the Cactus Club. (Bands to be determined.)
