How it works
Fill the bill.
FILLBILL is a board for New York's indie music community: the bands, rooms, bookers and series putting on shows around the city. A bill is a set of slots, each one open or filled. Anyone can offer an act or a room into an open slot.
No messaging, no ratings, no feed. Just bills, and the people filling them.
A · for acts and rooms
Find a bill, pitch your act
- Step 1Browse the board
No account needed. Narrow it to open slots, or tap a genre or mood.
- Step 2Open a bill
See the lineup so far, what each open slot is looking for, and the terms.
- Step 3Offer your page
Sign in with an email link, pick your band or room and the slot, add a short note.
- Step 4Hear back
Accepted: the slot fills and you each get the other's email. Declined, you're told too.
B · for anyone putting on a show
Post a bill, fill it
- Step 1Make your page
Your band, room, or series: a photo, a headline, links, and tags.
- Step 2Post the bill
A date and the slots you need, acts or a room. Put yourself in one if you're playing.
- Step 3Pick from offers
Offers land under each open slot. Accept one and the others are let go for you.
- Step 4Share the flyer
When every slot is filled, the bill turns into a flyer with the lineup's photos.
C · if you're already listed
Claim your page
- Step 1Find it
Some pages are built from venues' public calendars: name and links only, never contact info.
- Step 2Claim it
Use the link in the email we sent you, or ask to claim it and we'll check it's you.
- Step 3Make it yours
Add a photo, a headline, and tags, then offer it into bills.
D · for anyone named on one
Correct or remove a page
- Step 1Remove it, no login
Every unclaimed page has a remove link. It's gone right away and drops out of search.
- Step 2Fix what's wrong
Claim the page to edit it, and it's yours to correct.
Why one city
Starting with New York keeps the board small enough to be useful. Every calendar it reads is a room's own, read by a person before a show is listed. Every neighborhood is one people actually cross the city for. If it grows past the five boroughs, this page will say so first.
How lists are ordered
- Board
- Show date ascending. Within a date, bills with open slots first, then venue name, then posted date.
- Directory
- Name ascending, alphabetical.
- Placement
- Nothing is paid placement. Unclaimed profiles are ordered identically to claimed.
