Puddlegum to launch Chasing Lions blog label

Posted by Flick in Puddlegum on 06 14th, 2008 | View Comments

Puddlegum will undergo major changes during the month of July. First, we have decided to change the name of Puddlegum to Chasing Lions. Though we first began to use the Puddlegum name eleven years ago, we realize that if we want to expand and grow then we need to get away from ‘gum, considering the similarity of our name and the largest music blog, Stereogum.

Chasing Lions will be a blog label, combining aspects of a music blog and a record label. We are widely expanding our team of writers, and will cover topics on music, film, and culture. Matt Netzley is joining the Chasing Lions team as our editor, and we’re excited to bring him on board. Matt Netzley is a creative writer and avid reader, and we have no doubt that Matt will provide you with content that you won’t find anywhere else on the internet.

Brandon Cornell will be heading up the record label aspects of Chasing Lions. He has successfully managed several businesses, such as Epiphany Clothing, and has keen insight on marketing and artist management. Our ‘blog label’ will utilize free music marketing techniques, as well as offering vinyl, digital, and CDs.

Erica Todd is joining the Chasing Lions team as well. She is helping with tour support for our artists, and will expand her role in the blog label over the next few months.

My role in Chasing Lions will involve overseeing and contributing to the music blog, working diligently with the label, and spending countless hours as a sound engineer and producer. We will eventually be opening our own recording studio, using my Pro Tools digital studio in the mean time.

Expect an official press release soon, with an exciting announcement of who our first three artists and bands will be. Thank you for supporting Puddlegum over the many years. We look forward to developing the Chasing Lions blog label with you.

-Kevin Flick

    While I do want to argue that changing your brand that you’ve worked so hard to build could be a bad move, I can see the reasons why. I did this myself before, but the old brand never really established itself.

    I imagine you will be getting a new domain name, just make sure your web presense remains the same with all the work you’ve already done (i.e. yoru domain has value and you don’t want to lose that). Hit me up if you need any help. Congrats brother, this all sounds great!
