Site update - March 16th 2010

AfterDawn.com has been updated! In addition to renewing the layout of the site we have also speeded up things considerably. The new version has been tested on our Finnish site for several months, and during the testing we have managed to improve the new version even further.

You can now enjoy this new layout at English AfterDawn.com and English Discussion Forums as well! We have also introduced new sections to the site, and re-arranged things a bit.

Digital music acquisitions continue -- LoudEnergy buys Riffage.com

Written by Petteri "dRD" Pyyny @ 18 Apr 2001 12:04

LoudEnergy has bought online assets of Riffage.com. Both companies are focused on independent artist promotion, pretty much like Vitaminic, MP3.com, etc.. Riffage had closed its operations in December 2000 after failing to find funding or merger partners.

Financial terms were not disclosed. Riffage had spent $20 million to develop its online assets. Just before its closing it tried to diversify its operations by purchasing San Fransisco's Great American Music Hall and an indie record label, 1500 Records.
