Features
Those who are in the industry will know that the live music scene is tough market. If you are a new band or artist, it is a lot difficult to get your name out there, and it is even harder to get a live gig. Usually, singers will be forced to join an agency or booking group to line up shows for them, or approach the venues directly to spruik their services. Now, the money equation: The agents will charge a fortune in return for arranging gigs. If yours is a band, your eventual reach is going to be limited by the effectiveness of the agent you’d chosen.
ShowSlinger for iPhone is a game changer in such a context. It provides a platform from which artists can get bookings, raise funding for new tracks, albums or tours, as well as offering a unique discovery avenue and promotion tool for venues. Artists can get gigs (where available) and use the DigiTip Jar or FanFunding to raise money in exciting new ways. While at a show, ShowSlinger app taps into the location services to serve up info like set-list, tour schedules, and funding campaigns for fans who use the app. Using the app, fans can also contribute money in return to ‘rewards’, like in Kickstarter. Fans can also use the app to check tour dates, follow bands, and check out their latest videos and pictures. On the venue front, promoters can easily find new acts and book them in for shows with the aid of built-in calendar and scheduling tools. Venue owners can promote the shows they’d scheduled, while keeping the patrons and fans up to date with what’s on.
Conclusion
ShowSlinger for iPhone is a well designed app, and is easy to use. The developers have come up with an ambitious concept, having a strong feature-set that caters to the whole live music ecosystem from venues and artists to the fans and music lovers out there in the streets. Venues alike can take advantage of powerful but simple mobile booking and promotional tools, while fans will certainly love the fresh interactive experience with artists in real time. The app is also stable and responsive. Check it out if you’re an artist, band, or a venue looking to promote the fresh and brightest music talents near them.
