Band Metrics To Measure Popularity

Band Metrics, a semantic web application that collects, analyzes and displays dynamic popularity and trends about musicians created by our ArtistDish podcast cohort Duncan Freeman has just launched in private beta. The site, which can most easily be described as Google Analytics for musicians, has already been named a TechCrunch50 2008 semi-finalist and DemoPit participant.

"Having a way to easily see where and why my music is popular online will help me with promotions and touring. And it’s free." said independent musician Greg Hester. Band Metrics’ founder Duncan Freeman adds, "We think Band Metrics will be a great solution for independent artists to understand the drivers of their music’s popularity and their fans’ sentiments, while also helping artists manage their digital identities."

Join me in wishing Duncan GOOD LUCK as he presents at TechCrunch50.  ( I predict a win.) I’ll have more details soon…
