Research Process

Our research team conducts exhaustive deep-web searches and archival investigations to build the most comprehensive rock bar database ever assembled.

1. Deep Web Research

We search far beyond surface-level information, diving deep into digital archives, obscure databases, old forum posts, and forgotten corners of the internet. Our researchers uncover historical records, digitized newspapers, defunct music sites, and local history archives that most people never find.

2. Source Documentation

Every fact in our archive is backed by sources. We meticulously document where each piece of information comes from - whether it's a 1970s music magazine article, a band's tour diary, local newspaper coverage, or venue licensing records. This transparency allows you to trace our research.

3. Cross-Reference Verification

We never rely on a single source. Our researchers cross-reference information across multiple independent sources, comparing dates, names, and events to ensure accuracy. Conflicting information is noted and investigated further.

4. Community Validation

The rock community's collective memory is invaluable. We actively seek input from musicians, venue staff, and patrons who were there. These firsthand accounts help verify our research and add authentic details that records alone can't capture.
