I sincerely wish them the best of luck. But let's face it...this site isn't going to be a hit or industry changer. Talk to any hard working independent musician or band that's been around for a bit and they can easily give you the name of at least two dozen companies that claim to help independent musicians but could care less and in turn have done the exact opposite. Musicians are tired of being screwed and are finally paving their own paths. You want contacts for labels, radio, tv, production, studios, venues...the info is already there. If you can't find it...ask for it.

I doubt all these high level execs are really going to care about joining a social network. They have their contacts already. All that you'll see on this are would-be has-been wanna be music industry people hassling the very few credible people on the site. As for the imdb side of it. It's obviously a great idea and has been done before and better. But these attempts to bring the music industry online in a social network has failed miserably before. I don't see how building a profile that says im a producer, dj, a&r, or whatever does anything. You know how many people would claim they are these things and aren't doing it professionally? How are those credentials? I am a musician and have worked at record labels so i'd like to think i do get it.

Some ideas that aren't being done well: How about having all venue addresses pre-loaded and geocoded so they don't have to type them over and over? How about automatically posting new shows to venue profiles to cut down on duplication of efforts, and vice versa? How about allowing bands and venues to post open dates, then allow them to network to fill the dates? How about an "enter once, promote everywhere" concept so bands don't go blind entering their tour dates on all these sites? http://www.madtownlounge.com Allen There is plenty of room to do it better than MySpace and Facebook, especially when it comes to Indie bands.

I'm pretty sure any music professional has a facebook or myspace. Also, allmusic has been doing this stuff for ages. I really see little benefits for someone to fill out their whole profile only to realize it's nothing better than connecting with someone on any other social network. This is so dumb.
