B-Side Cast Turns a Live Set Into a Listening Pass

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A service for bands to sell remote access to performances they are already booked to play.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The page proposes a second revenue stream for an already-booked performance by routing a board feed and room microphones through an audio interface and an internet-connected device. Bands choose the price and distribute a single link or QR code through show materials and social posts. Its calculator uses 40 shows, 25 passes per show, and a $5 price to illustrate $5,000 before fees, while explicitly warning that the pass count is only a placeholder rather than market data.
