Tabbed bio (Short / Medium / Long)
Journalists, venues, and event coordinators each grab the length they need.
Electronic Press Kit · Free for working bands
BandSlate is the first electronic press kit platform where every gig, venue, and stage plot is pulled from the booking ledger that runs the band. Less self-reported flex, more provable track record.
Verified by BandSlate
BandSlate runs the day-to-day for thousands of working bands — confirmed gigs, lineup history, song catalog, equipment lists. We surface that data straight to the press kit. Nothing typed twice, nothing fabricated. If it's on the kit, it's in the ledger.
Standard EPK sections that match what bookers actually open first — no fluff, no placeholder PDFs, no broken Dropbox links.
Journalists, venues, and event coordinators each grab the length they need.
Logo, cover photo, and press images with direct downloads built in.
Past venues come from real confirmed gigs in the booking ledger, not self-reported claims.
Live, structured song data — keys, tempo, originals vs covers — never a stale screenshot.
Inputs, power, backline, and an interactive stage plot venues can actually use.
Structured booking requests with date flexibility, format, sound, and budget captured up front.
Why BandSlate
Every stat — gigs played, venues, confirmed upcoming shows — is pulled from the BandSlate booking ledger. No competitor can show provable history because no competitor owns the bookings.
Press kits are also available as a clean JSON document at /api/press-kit/<slug>. Drop the URL into a partner CRM, AI agent, or submission portal and pull structured data instantly.
Three bio lengths generated from your actual gig history, lineup, and song library. Four tone presets. Two credits per generation; reuse for free.
These are real press kits, built and maintained by real bands on BandSlate.
EPK norms haven't evolved much since Sonicbids and ReverbNation. BandSlate ships the essentials and the things bookers wish they had.
