Band Of The Day app calls it a day
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 7 July 2015
The people behind the popular Band Of The Day app have announced that they are winding down the new talent tipping service to fully concentrate on their ticketing and direct-to-fan platform Applauze.
In a blog post, the service’s Amanda Van West explains: “As much as we all love Band Of The Day, and have been able to keep it running for nearly four years, we’ve decided that now is the time to fully concentrate on Applauze by putting all of our company’s focus on it. This decision does not come lightly, especially given the community we’ve built around Band Of The Day, but we’re 100% confident that it is the right one”.
Band Of The Day will reach its finale on 31 Jul, and between now and then the team behind it will be recommending other places online where people can discover new music (hey, CMU Approved does it for me!). The app’s website will also relaunch at the end of the month with an archive of every tipped artist from the last four years.
Concludes Van West: “Our love for discovering new music and sharing those discoveries is something that will never go away, and we hope to continue those conversations with you all even when the app isn’t around anymore”.
