This is why:
The COVID-induced deluge of livestreams was a pretty awful, depressing experience. Instead of getting a sense of connection and invigoration from them, I usually just ended up feeling depressed. There really is nothing worse than seeing your favorite musician nearly crying their way through a set from their bedroom while we paid to watch this. It amplified the sadness of the times, at least for me. There also wasn’t really a way to hang out with people or meet other fans in the same way you can at a show. You either had to use an external app to see and chat with your friends during the show, or you were stuck on something like Twitch where there is a big chat thread where as many as 200 people can all be making the same joke about seeing if anyone else wants something from the bar.
Enter FLYMACHINE.
Flymachine is a new streaming service where the performances are all live, and for the most part from an actual venue. It also leverages chat rooms that allow you to create a real space for your friends to hang out, as well as public rooms that allow you to chat with fellow fans before, during, and after the performance. Or you can tune it all out and focus on the music (which you can’t always do in-person)
Spinning Platters wants you to be able to try Flymachine out, and they’ve given us passes for two of our favorite acts: Austin psych rock titans The Black Angels on July 27th at 7pm and Soul duo LIONBABE on August 5th at 6pm PST. NOTE: These are LIVE events, there is no replay, just like an actual concert. We will be giving away two sets of “tickets” to each show so you can enjoy it with a friend that’s somewhere else!
