Lead with your sound
Upload up to three tracks and two short videos. Every card you appear on plays your best 30 seconds, no tap-through needed.
For musicians
Your next band is a swipe away.
Whether you're a drummer between projects, a keys player who wants a second gig, or a singer who's done with open-mic nights, Sidestage puts you in front of bands that need exactly what you play.
Made for how you actually get hired
Bands don't pick players from paragraphs. They pick from a feel, a clip, and whether you can make Thursdays.
Say what you want
Join a band, sub for a tour, start something new, or find a producer. Your intent is on the card so the right people swipe.
Stay local
Set a radius from 5 to 100 miles. You'll see bands and studios that are actually within driving distance of your kit.
Availability, honestly
Weekends only? Two weeknights? Touring-ready? Put it on your profile and skip the awkward third message.
Real matches, not cold DMs
You only talk to bands that liked you back. No inbox full of unanswered messages.
Your work, your control
Distance is shown, your street isn't. Remove a track or photo any time and it's gone everywhere.
What goes on a great profile
Sidestage keeps it tight so the good stuff stands out. Here's what bands tell us they look at first.
- One clip of you playing live — a phone recording at rehearsal beats a studio track for showing feel.
- Instruments, in order. Lead with the one you want to be hired for.
- Three to five genres you'd happily play every week, not everything you've ever tried.
- Gear and transport. "Own kit + van" gets more matches than any bio line.
- A bio that sounds like you. Three sentences. What you've done, what you want, what you're like in a room.
