Venue Information Project, Venueology

Jake Pegg


AFM indie recently announced a new website called Venuology. It's in beta, and currently only has NYC club info, but it looks pretty promising, as does AFM indie.

Venuology is a forum for musicians to post reviews of live music venues. It strikes me as being especially useful for touring bands, and will hopefully be more constructive than craigslist flaming.

Speaking of Craigslist, we've just heard about a related project, the Portland Venue Information Project, or PDX-VIP. Musicians working in Portland are asked to take the survey here.


Other recent news here at FTM-PDX :
  • The venue agreement is near completion, as is the supporters' agreement for music retailers and the like.
  • Our internal online contact management system is coming along,
  • Video PSA's with FAMOUS ARTISTS are in the works, and
  • Another happy hour is pencilled in for April 13 at Zaytoons, hopefully featuring a music Q & A with someone from the local press. Stay tuned!
