EPK · electronic press kit: the page a talent buyer checks before they book you
Photos, video, your set list and the nights you are free, on one page. Venues book you straight from it. It is free.
Most press kits still go out the hard way. A talent buyer gets dozens a week, and the ones that need a download, a password or a laptop usually don't get opened.
octiv.live/a/your-band
Everything a booker wants to know before they say yes, in the order they look for it.
A gallery up top, so the first thing a booker sees is you on a stage.
Paste a YouTube link. It plays right there, not behind a link they won't click.
Originals, covers or both. Show the room you can fill the night.
Block off the nights you can't play. Venues see what is open before they ask.
Anyone can send a request from your page. No account needed on their side.
Gigs completed, reply time and fans who follow you build on your page with every show.
Read it like a record. Side A is the part you do once. Side B is what happens every week after.

It is what a talent buyer, a festival or a blog looks at to decide whether to book or cover you: who you are, what you sound like, photos, video, past shows and how to reach you. Bands used to send it as a zip file or a PDF. On Octiv it is a page with a link.
Yes. Your page, your booking link, booking requests and your calendar cost nothing.
No. Anyone can send a request from your page. They get a simple form, you get an email, and the whole thing lives in your dashboard.
Very much. Bars and breweries book more cover acts than anyone. Put your set list up front, show the room you can fill a three-hour night, and add a couple of live clips.
Keep it. Link to it from your page, and put your Octiv booking link on it. Your site is for fans, your Octiv page is for the people who book you.
