The BANDZONE app is a free stand-alone companion for your BANDZONE account, providing on-the-go access to all your band’s information—perfect for checking or updating details away from your computer. The BANDZONE online service lets you stay on top of gigs, rehearsals, song info, setlists, essential files, and more—all from your desktop or mobile device. KEY FEATURES -- Easy Event, Availability, and Absence Planning -- Organize gigs, rehearsals, and other events in a shared calendar, with availability feedback from all members and all relevant data in one place. The integrated absences calendar for your band members makes event planning even more streamlined. Whether you’re organizing a show or booking studio time, every band member stays informed via a personal band calendar that can be synced with most calendar apps. -- Centralized Song and Setlist Management -- Store both general and personal song info, generate engaging setlists from your song library, and link them to events—keeping everyone in sync before stepping on stage. You can also anonymously vote on which songs to rehearse next, making sure everyone enjoys the band’s setlist and avoiding any personal “no-go” songs. Assigning instruments to each song helps optimize the setlist, reducing stress caused by frequent instrument changes on stage. -- File Storage and Access -- Keep essential documents, lyrics, recordings, and other band resources like logos, press info, or tech riders organized and accessible. Files are stored where they belong, whether that’s with the band, specific songs, events, or venues. Files can even be made publicly accessible for quick sharing with people outside the band. BANDZONE’s storage feature ensures that everyone has access to what they need, wherever they are. -- Clear Interface -- The simple dark or light interface features clear color coding, intuitive usage patterns, and a “one-click-away” approach for most actions. BANDZONE is designed to be user-friendly, even for less tech-savvy band members, with advanced features and settings placed subtly in the background or limited to band admins. WHY BANDZONE? The BANDZONE online service is built by musicians for musicians, with a deep understanding of the complexities of band management. With a focus on clarity and simplicity, BANDZONE minimizes the time spent on coordination, allowing bands to focus on what matters most: creating music and rocking the stage! WHY NOT? BANDZONE is not the right fit if you’re looking for a lyrics/sheet music app for live performance or if you need offline functionality, as these features are not available (yet…). HOW? Log in with your existing BANDZONE online service credentials or create a free account directly in the app and try it with your entire band for 32 days (after that, you’ll need a full band access).
