Buddyhead co-founders revive music scene with new venue and documentary project

Buddyhead, a music website launched in 1998, gained fame for its candid reviews and industry gossip. Co-founders Travis Keller and Aaron North also created a record label, releasing albums from influential bands. However, as social media grew, Buddyhead's popularity declined. Keller, who faced personal struggles, is now working on a documentary titled "On the Lash," using footage from 1998 to 2005. He aims to capture the essence of that era, focusing on the music scene and its cultural impact, while avoiding a traditional documentary format. Keller and North have opened a DIY venue in Los Angeles called Lost Angeles, aiming to revive independent voices in music and art. They plan to relaunch the Buddyhead website and create a photography book alongside the documentary, reflecting their commitment to the creative community.
