SydneyMusic.net is a not-for-profit, community-centric gig guide.
Blind Date With A Band is small hack project built by Joe Hardy while doing a quick data-gathering experiment with around 100 local Sydney bands on our Instagram account last week.
The data is updated daily and you can use this service as a different kind of gig discovery tool. New recommendations will appear in the mix as they're added to the gig guide.
Any band featured on this site is playing a show in the next 4 weeks and wrote the genre description themselves.
If you would like to add your band to the genre tagging experiment, then please add a comment from your official band account on the original post where we gathered the initial data set. We can't guarantee a turnaround time, but we'll do our best.
We plan to incorporate this data into our gig guide but that will take a little longer and requires resources we don't currently have.
Speaking of ...
SydneyMusic.net has been operating for two years with unpaid contributions from the project's co-founders and some additional wonderful volunteers.
We believe this project is building a highly valuable resource that can greatly benefit Sydney's grassroots music communities, as well as the music industry more broadly. We have a plan to get this project running with operational and financial stability, but it's going to require some investment.
Want to help SydneyMusic do even more? Drop us a line.
We hope you enjoy! Catch you at a gig!
