Tourdiy.org Heralds a New Online Network for DIY Music
Images via tourdiy.orgEver since the MySpace Boom in the early to mid-2000s, underground music has taken full advantage of connectivity via social media. On Facebook, the group known as NDE (Non-Denominational Emo) Rad Jams and Good Vibes has become an online hub for the current indie rock/emo/punk underground, growing in influence and reach to the point of spawning multiple subgroups and founding their own record label. On the local level, shared Google Spreadsheets have become a useful tool for laying out the venues, promoters, and bands available so that everyone in the area can keep track. However, these efforts rarely break beyond the regional or national level. To create a framework for full global connectivity, you need a site more airtight than a Facebook group, which is why we’d like to introduce you to tourdiy.org, which just went online today.
