Post the slot, not a wanted ad
"Drummer, indie rock, two weeknights + gigs, E Austin." That's the whole card. Players who fit will find you.
For bands
Fill the open slot without the group-chat drama.
Post the opening once. Set genres, commitment level and rehearsal days. Then swipe through players in your city who already like your sound, and talk only to the ones who like you back.
Built for bands that need someone by next month
Hear before you meet
Every musician card plays a 30-second preview. Skip the ones who aren't it in three seconds, not three emails.
One profile, every member
Your band profile links the people in it, so a prospective player sees who they'd be playing with.
Studios and pros in the same deck
Switch to Services and swipe through recording studios, engineers, photographers and rehearsal rooms near you, with rates on the card.
Group chat with matches
Bring your bandmates into the conversation so the whole band can weigh in before the first rehearsal.
Close the slot when it's filled
One tap hides the opening. Reopen it any time the lineup changes.
Get better matches with a better opening
Vague openings get vague replies. The best band cards on Sidestage share a few things.
- Your two best tracks — the sound a player is signing up for.
- The actual commitment. Rehearsal nights, gigs per month, whether you tour.
- Where you rehearse (neighbourhood is enough) so people can judge the drive.
- What's already covered. "We have a van, a PA and a practice space" is a strong pitch.
- Where you're headed. Weekend covers band or an EP in the spring? Say it on the card.
Your next lineup is already swiping.
