Who we are
No paywall, no ads. This is our passion project for the Victoria music community.
Our mission is to help local music scenes thrive by connecting emerging artists with their communities.
Amplifying Artists
We shine a spotlight on independent artists across all genres - boosting visibility and packing shows.
Local Focus
We put local artists first, highlighting the shows happening right in your backyard. We want to see homegrown artists, venues and DIY spaces thrive. We’re focused on building a stronger, more connected scene.
Community First
We believe a strong community is the heart of a thriving music scene. We’re committed to connecting local artists, fans (both old and new) and venues to build an inclusive music scene where everybody is welcome and supported.
Accessibility
Live music should be for everybody. We prioritize sharing accessibility info and creating spaces where everyone feels safe, informed, and included. We're working to remove digital, physical, and social barriers that get in the way.
Meet the Founders
This is a passion project driven by a team of local bands, artists, programmers, and designers. We're a team of 5 who have been working on this project for passion and fun.

The best way to get more info about a show, especially small independent bands, is to reach them on Instagram or Facebook as that's usually where bands and promoters are the most responsive. For venues its usually best or call or email.

Events posted on our site are categorized by mood instead of genre as artists at a show usually perform an array of genres. Moods are an umbrella to catch multiple genres. the mood filters are on the event page to help you decide if you want to chill at a mellow event or go buck wild at a heavy event. To see the genres by artist, you can click on an artists page and see what genre their music is.
Navigate to our ”Artists” page and start exploring new artists making new music right here in Victoria.
Currently Events are only for Victoria and they can be filtered by mood, date and price range.
Click save to calendar, this works best on mobile.

If you navigate to a band playing the shows artist profile you can find their social media and contact information there.
on the venues page you can find information about location and accessibility.
