BandFIND: a social network for musicians and industry professional

Posted by Flick in News on 05 30th, 2008 | View Comments

BandFINDThere is yet another social community for musicians, this one claiming to be the “first fully integrated social network designed specifically for musicians, bands, and the professional music industry.” BandFIND.com is geared at helping musician and those working in the industry to connect, a feat that may work if enough artists pour time into their site.

When you’re creating your profile on BandFIND, you are asked to be specific about your involvement in the music industry. There are over thirty fields to detail your experience; if you have spent 11 years of your life managing bands then you would select “band management” and scroll down to the number of years. You are also asked to describe your talents… more than just filling out a bio. Instead, you’re given over fifty instruments, along with the years and skill level.

Other aspects of BandFIND that you may find interesting are the Ads. Looking for a guitarist, or trying to sell your ukulele? If you have a band, every member of the band can create a unique profile and then “join” the band. Then spend time contacting other musicians, swap shows, etc.

    Too bad it’s built on ColdFusion. Wicked noob backend. And the interface could use some work. Not quite ready for release.

    This is an awful review. Do you like the site or are you trying to discourage the use? Do you play music? If you do, you would find value in the site. Seems like you should probably stick to myspace to do your networking. Just a thought
