My friend Barn’s site, RockPeaks.com, went live this week, and it’s looking pretty awesome.

I worked a lot with Barn on the site and can attest to his passion for both music in general and this project in particular.

Billed as “the world’s largest database of live rock and roll video” (man, we fought a lot about the term database - and I lost) the site serves as an aggregator of awesome clips and a community that allows users to comment, review and share knowledge about those great performance clips that stir a little something-something deep in your gut.

Stuart Berman has already given it a real nice writeup.

Get your ass over there and sign up!

Congrats, Barn!

Some nice beats in this. Buscemi’s always so bloody good.

Rock.

Hat-tip to fO.
