What do bands get from ChicagoGigs.com?

With ChicagoGigs.com, bands get a great place to promote themselves to music fans in the Chicago area. We generate an average of 75,000 user sessions (1 Million+ 'hits') a month by providing a great mix of content relating to both national touring acts and locally-based indie bands. Average music fans come to find out when their favorite band is coming to town or to win tickets for a sold out concert, but they also find out about ChicagoGigs.com's Member Artists who are actively promoted throughout the site and in our weekly newsletter. ChicagoGigs.com seamlessly merges the local scene with the mainstream to raise awareness of locally-based talent among the entire Chicago community.

Artist Pages are a great option for bands that are unable to move their web site to our hosting service. They are also an inexpensive option for a band that isn't ready to invest in a web site. All artist pages have a www.chicagogigs.com/bandname URL.

To get started: You can sign up on-line using a credit card, or print out a form and fax or mail it in with your credit card info or check. If you're not sure what to do but are interested - submit a request. Experienced users can e-mail us everything for the page or we can put it together from a photo and CD that you mail to us. We usually have pages posted within two days of receiving the materials.

Sample Artist Pages:

Cathy Richardson Band
Ken Vandermark
Kat Parsons

  • Your own e-mail accounts (you@yourband.com).

I know that we have to pay for the use of the services but it's well worth the cash and then some. If there was an award for the best site of this type ChicagoGigs would win it hands down.
