Genral

What is Showasis?

Showasis is the pulse of live music. We use quantitative crowd-sourced reviews coupled with social media chatter to help chart and trend who's hot and who's not on the live music scene. Meanwhile we help fans build out their live music profile, prepare for upcoming events, and make informed decisions about which shows they should and should not attend.

Now that I'm here, what am I supposed to do?

Our mission is to enable you to shape your own live music experiences. You can do this by reviewing bands, shows, and venues while interacting with other fans around the world to exchange tips, reviews, and insights like what to wear to a concert and when to arrive. Start by finding shows you've attended in the past; review them and build out your live music profile.
