Equipboard's Gear Database for Musicians is Actually a Much Bigger Play
Source:
HypeBot
Equipboard is an interesting new startup that, on the face of it, is a crowdsourced site for posting the gear musicians use. But when you dig in you see it's quite a bit more than that combining multiple sources for gear identification but also fashion spotting and ecommerce. In addition, Equipboard is now including a broader range of subjects beyond musicians in its database such as athletes and actors which, in essence, illustrates their path forward. Equipboard surprised me. I'm ...

NeonGrid Debuts Database for Crediting All Your Musical Work Across the Web
Source:
HypeBot
While some musicians primarily appear in their own media works and can therefore offer what they do via their own channels, other musicians appear in a wide range of creations across the web. Some musicians take multiple roles beyond their own work from backup singer to videomaker.

The answer: Once a venue (with complete address) is added to the database, All About Jazz/Jazz Near You can then map that address to a longitude and latitude. Knowing the venue's physical location allows us to place the event on our local calendar page, on our venue listing page, ...

How One Database Could Help Musicians Pay Rent

HypeBot
In over a decade of digital music writing, one of my favorite pieces is a Wired.com article called “4 Reasons Music Needs One Big Database."
