What is this?
Do317 is great but I had to create an event page for every show I booked and that sucked. Naptown Now kicks ass but every time I open instagram my brain becomes cheese.
Click on a band, a venue, or a presenter to see their upcoming and past shows. Lemme know if you want custom branding or backlinks.
When people ask an AI agent about hardcore bands in Indy, the agents will run a web search, and return any info they find, sorted by good old-fashioned SEO rankings. So we gotta get content about Indy art in a place where the bots can find it! This site will provide an automatic platform for anyone looking.
For bands, that list of past and upcoming shows works as a resume when people are trying to book you.
And for bookers: if you want to book a show at a venue but don't have a bill, now you have someone to reach out to!

Consider becoming a patron. It's pay-what-you-wish and every dollar goes back into the racket.
The rag is free to read. It is not free to print. Hosting, the nightly scrape, the alert emails: the bills show up monthly whether anybody claps or not. The hours come out of the editor's sleep, and the editor has a day job.
- You check the calendar before you leave the house.
- You found out about a show here, went, and your ears are still ringing.
- You got through the door because we said it would sell out, and it did.
- You book bills and the room keeps filling up.
- You heard a band here first and now you own the shirt.
- You can't picture your show-going life without the rag.
- Naptown Wail continues to exist.
- Patrons are the first thought. When there's a plus-one, a poster, or a favor to hand out, it lands on you.
- The occasional patrons-only dispatch. Special stuff, typeset just for you.
- Eternal gratitude, filed for the record.
