As a band, what's in it for us? [Top]
In a nutshell...more gigs & better gigs!

You, and your band members, will have access to an extensive, on-line, database-driven, management application to run all of your band needs. You will also become more likely to be found for gigs! Let's face it, the chances of someone finding your band by using internet search engines will be pretty much ZERO! Plus, Bandtastic is designed to work along with your existing website. See the next question below.

Our on-line self-management system will absolutely knock your socks off! You, and your members, can all edit your gig & black-out dates, manage your contacts information, manage your email distribution lists & send e-mail, manage your finances, manage your merchandise purchases, create on-line gig contracts, manage your song lists, and create your set lists right on-line from anywhere in the world! Ever go to a gig and forget your set lists? Just log in from anybody's PC and you've got it!

We provide "one-stop-shopping" for live-music consumers to find your band for gigs. We make your band profile and website link available to the public by providing the fans and live-music consumers a clean, easy-to-use navigational system to narrow down their search to find the exact type of band that they want to hire, see, or from which they want to buy merchandise.


What if my band already has a website? [Top]

If you have a website already then great, if you don't, then you don't really need one because Bandtastic can now become your official site! Bandtastic is a tool that is designed to work stand-alone or along with your existing website. Not only can Bandtastic provide a link to viewers back to your site, but it also allows you to integrate certain Bantastic pages directly into your own site without having the user even know where the information originated. For example, check out Orange Crush and click the Schedule, Song List, and Available Booking Dates links. You'll see that all three of these Bandtastic pages are working within the existing orangecrush.com website. After you sign up your band, you can obtain these links, and programming information, by clicking the menu item called "Integrating your data into another website".
