Our Story
Helping bands connect with fans without algorithms, gatekeepers, or social media investments.
Our Mission
Your fans shouldn't have to be tethered to social media websites just to know when your next gig is. And you shouldn't have to post content on five different apps just to get people to your shows.
That's why BandAlert exists.
BandAlert gets back to the basics. Our service will text interested music lovers before your show with important info about the gig's time and location. Now, instead of having to scroll through ads and find your social media posts, fans will be get the important news at just the right time and directly in their pockets.
It's a simple, cheap, and effective way to grow your band's presence and increase attendance at your shows.
Our Philosophy
Results
Direct text messages to fans assure higher attendance rates to local shows. Higher attendance means better pay, more gigs, and more fans!
No Social Media
Fans shouldn't need to download another app or sign away their privacy to another media company. SMS works on every phone, everywhere.
Artists First
This platform is built by musicians, for musicians. We understand the struggle and respect the hustle, and have built everything from the perspective of a working band.
Keep It Easy
BandAlert is easy for bands to use, and even easier for fans to sign up. All it takes is a quick text message to the right phone number, or a simple scan of a QR code that we provide and that bands can distribute on their own.
Built by Music Lovers
BandAlert was born to help people find and support local bands without having to be glued to their phones just to know when they're playing next. We're also helping bands in the digital age reach out with a more analogue approach - direct messages to fans.
Why We Started This
"My friend started a band and I kept missing their shows simply because I wasn't on Instagram. All I needed was a quick reminder of when and where they were playing - something like a text message. I realized that I wasn't the only one that was sick of social media, and came up with the idea for BandAlert. Then I approached Niels Provos about the idea, who I knew had the skills to turn it from an idea into reality. "— The BandAlert Team
