New Hero Website, New Hero Blog

So the time has FINALLY come, we have a new website up!! Check it out at www.heroandsound.com. It's still a work in progress, but the god awful, seriously outdated portfolio that we had up, is finally gone!!!!

We are still adding stuff to the new portfolio and we have to tweak our existing web store a bit to properly sync up with the new site, but it is there! We also have a new blog, which we are very excited about, so please change your bookmarks and update your feed links. We will no longer be updating this blog and we'll be posting in the new blog on the website the way we always did with this one. We hope you enjoy the new format as much as we do. It is more organized, so if you are only interested in new things at the Boutique or events we have coming up, it should hopefully be easier navigate.

The second phase of the new Hero website involves a brand new, revamped web store that will be more organized, and much easier to search for things, we are super excited for that, so keep an eye out for it later this year.

We owe a big thanks to our friend Mike Literman, who helped us with customizing the code to make this work exactly how we wanted it to, and for helping us fix the site every time we broke it and sent emails with lots of curse words as the subject line.

Buffalo featured in Venus Zine's City Guide

Look for our Flatstock roundup, photos, new prints, etc, next week, as I have been stricken by the Flatstock Flu aka SXSW SARS! All the hand shaking, late nights, alcohol and flights actually got me this year!! (Somehow, I have managed to avoid it every other year, BLAH!)


For now enjoy this feature on Buffalo in Venus Zine that includes Hero and many of our Buffalo friends. Venus Zine is an independent print + online publication that focuses on women in music and other creative arts. They are based in Chicago, and are working on putting together indie guides to cities around the country. Buffalo was their third feature!
