Vanyaland is an online music magazine curated and published by outgoing Boston Phoenix music editor Michael Marotta. After the closing of the storied alt-weekly in March 2013, Marotta shifted his efforts and vision for Boston music coverage to his personal blog, Vanyaland, with the idea of expanding its scope to cover the vibrant Boston music scene from the basements and clubs of Allston, Somerville, and Cambridge to the larger theatres and music venues all over town…..Re-launched May 2013, on the one year anniversary of the sale of WFNXs 101.7 FM signal, Vanyaland is an interactive source for music news, live shows, new releases, downloads, live streams, and nightlife around Boston and beyond, focusing on the bands raised in our city but also welcoming to the touring acts that pass through it daily. Its a destination to learn about the musical pulse of Boston, from venues to record stores to other entities that make our city the best in the world
