[dropcap]E[/dropcap]ver since the Phoenix shut down in March, Boston has needed a comprehensive listings guide to help promote all the events, parties, and concerts going on across the region. While our V:List serves as a sort of Editor’s Picks of the stuff we think you should attend, we here at Vanyaland are extremely proud to partner with Do Stuff Media to launch Do617.com in January.
Do617 features everything going on each night in our awesome city, and is a one-stop compass for Boston nightlife. Vanyaland’s Michael Marotta has been named managing partner of this new venture, and he’s excited to position his online music magazine as Do617’s content provider.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Do617.com launching in January
Boston, Massachusetts, 6:17pm EST — What’s going on tonight?
That simple question is asked by thousands of people each and every day around Boston, and coming this January, Do617 will provide answers seven nights a week. Do617 is more than just a comprehensive, hyper-local listings guide – it’s an all-inclusive, culture-forward marketing agency that helps shape Boston’s music and nightlife scene.
A platform for concerts, parties, events, promoters, media properties, and brands, Do617 is the place to go when you want to know how to spend your night out. And it’s not only the best of what’s going on around town – it’s everything.
Do617 is an extension of Do Stuff Media group, a national network of websites dedicated to promoting events in any given city. However, Do617 is 100% locally based and operated. In addition to partnering with online music magazine Vanyaland for a fresh source of original content to supplement Do617’s expansive listings guide and event planning, the team behind the website is well versed in Boston’s music, nightlife, and concert scenes.
