I took a quick look at the website, which looks great by the way, but I couldn't figure out how the location plays out. Is it based off of the users sign-up location? (Certain mile radius of Zip Code, State, City?) There is also the obvious of the band or managers willingness to play at the venue, but the part where the website makes it easy, is guaranteeing that there is indeed a fan base where they are being asked to play. Adding a section for bands to sign up was a very smart move, as something like this could be ideal for lesser known or up and coming bands. To get more attention, you definitely need to spread this website all over the Internet. Music communities like last.fm, Reddit's Music subreddit etc. where it can potentially be free to get the word around.

Creating a Kickstarter, would be a great idea to raise awareness of the website, and raise money to buy adspace for places like Pandora, Allmusic, Spotify, music magazines, any place that has people who are already going out of there way to discuss, listen, or purchase music.
