The circle of mediocrity
Small acts are broke.
Playing shows is the main source of revenue or exposure.
Without money you can’t make quality content.
Without music it’s difficult to spread your brand.
Fewer shows.
GHZ
The problem
• An antiquated and unprofessional system.
5
Facebook, email, and phone.
GHZ
The truth
• Bands could benefit from connecting to venues easier, and venues could benefit by getting easier access to free or cheap musicians.

GHZ
The challenge
• How can we use interactive media to mitigate the current situation?

GHZ
The territory
• Connect more bands to venues and develop a platform to execute this.

GHZ
the goal
• Functionality of Craigslist
• Credibility of LinkedIn
• Discoverability of Bandcamp
