Gigit connects bands with booking agents, promoters and venues. Bands set up slick profiles that tout their best qualities, providing sound and video to live music buyers. After browsing minimum guarantees and booking bands, venues can rate and review the band for the benefit of other bookers, generating a sort of reputation score that can be a valuable asset (or your worst enemy.) It’s super quick and easy to set up, sucking in the info and audio from your Facebook and Soundcloud accounts. We love the design of the profiles and the site in general. Their community of live music buyers and bands is just beginning to grow, and currently is focused on major markets like New York and California. It’s free to use, and Gigit helps you “make it rain” by taking 0% of your booking fee. We love the concept. In reviewing the site, only time will tell if the site attracts enough people who need to buy live music. Right now, it’s a no-brainer for artists as a free service that can increase their exposure to moneymaking opportunities with no risk.
