Get In My Band - Join The Beta

Get In My Band is a little dream of mine to give musicians a place to connect with other musicians. It is part bandmate search engine, part media and part social network.

I've spent so much time finding and qualifying band members over the years that I think it's about time we had a better way to hook up with our musical brethren. And the flyers were just a waste of time for me, usually only got a call or two and they ended up having a different style.

So with that, I would like to invite all SDUGF members to test out my newest site, Get In My Band.

It's very simple. Sign-up and then search for what you are looking for. Need a drummer and a bass player around New York who play Metal? No problem. The site automatically embeds your Soundcloud and YouTube links so that people can see and hear the musician in question. A section to describe your gear and experience.

You can hook up with recording engineers, band managers and of course, other musicians. Currently we support US, Canada, Australia & Great Britain.

pass: johanson1

Since you are the first ones, don't expect to get any results, so you will likely need to create two accounts unless you are searching in Santa Barbara, Melbourne or Minneapolis where we have the test accounts setup.

Known issues:
-I'm still outputting the lat/lon in Australia so your search results will require scrolling down until I am done testing the matching system there.
-Layout may change to allow for longer descriptions.

Your feedback is welcome, it's your site.

Ooohhh... this is gonna be great!

Just registered. I'll likely get deeper into it and build my profile tonight when I have some free time. Thanks a bunch Scott!
 
Re: Get In My Band - Join The Beta

Great idea. Should save hours on unsuitable auditions (for both sides of the situation).
 
Re: Get In My Band - Join The Beta

For those that have already registered, I went ahead and activated all accounts. The Being such a new/firewalled site it's likely most the activation emails are residing in spam. I'm still debating whether we should even have it at all.
 
Re: Get In My Band - Join The Beta

I just took a look. The only thing limiting me at the moment though is the choice of countries; there's no point me registering myself as UK, when I spend next to no time there. As strange as it may sound, this might actually work very well in places like Saudi, as it is actually difficult to find fellow musicians and relies largely on word of mouth - not the best route in a country over 3 times the size of Texas. I'll be interested to see how it progresses though.
 
Re: Get In My Band - Join The Beta

I think this is incredibly cool. I'll check it out later tonight.
 
Re: Get In My Band - Join The Beta

Insanely cool. Having a very hard time trying to find a drummer at the moment.

Some feedback on the site: Would be nice to have a 'Home' button on every page, and for the login to not cover the page title.

Cool, if you get a moment can you send me a screenshot of what you see in regards of the login covering the Page Title? Logo will serve as home but I'll look into actually adding an icon that makes it simple to figure out.

Not sure if this is the problem Myaccount876 is having, but link buttons over graphics are hit-or-miss with some smartphones. Don't really have a mouse/cursor and what passes for a Tab function (ball) is way unpredictable.
 
Re: Get In My Band - Join The Beta

What a great idea! I hope it flies so it's there when I need it. Right now it appears that I have all bases covered.
