BandAidz is the world’s first social music  app delivering an unrivalled opportunity for Artists to reach an audience that are interested in attending their gigs and perhaps meeting a new ‘special someone’.

Ever been to a gig and saw someone you would love to have chatted to but just didn’t get the chance? Ever saw an amazing artist play and forget who they were? Ever wanted someone to come to a gig with you but you couldn’t motivate anyone? Problem solved.

Finally, an app that allows the connection of artists to people and people to people without restriction! Based on a person’s location to a venue, artists can create events and everyone who has the BandAidz app within a specified radius (20km-100km) and the same genre preference as the artist will be invited! You can then discover the artist’s music, follow them on social media, and even see other ‘Crowd Surfers’ that have been invited. If you ‘like’ someone’s profile and they like yours, you have a match and can start to chat.

No restrictions! It is 100% free for Crowd Surfers. No paying to see profiles, no paying for more likes, nothing! Not single? Not into dating? No worries! Anyone can discover new artists and enjoy the live music scene!

DISCOVER NEARBY ARTISTS:
Another world first is the ability to discover artists who are right in front of you. Simply check the “Nearby Artists”, select the one on stage, and that’s it! If the artist has allowed their songs to be downloaded, you can add the song they just played (and you loved) to your Tune Bank right away or when you get home!

GIG CALENDARS:
A great feature for artists is the synchronised gig calendars. If any band/project member (or promoter) creates an event, everyone will be notified of the gig and their gig calendar instantly updated. No more “What date/time was that gig again?”. And no more “What gear do I need?” thanks to all the necessary gig details including load in and backline details, time and place, set times, number of people invited and who has confirmed attendance. It even includes the venue location on the map! No more “Where is it again?”

PUSH MESSAGES:
With push messages, be 100% sure people don’t forget you. You can send them out into the crowd and anyone who has the BandAidz app will get not just your message but also all your social media links. But be careful, you can only send one every 4 hours so make it count!

PROMOTERS:
We couldn’t forget promoters! Ever been endlessly searching for an artist of a specific genre within a specific location and want to know if they’re available? Well now you can, and within seconds! You can search all of the above and see if the artists are available from their gig calendars. If they are, you can exchange messages. No restrictions! Promoters can also create gigs and add any artist who has the BandAidz app and is on the bill for the event. The more sub-genres, the more people invited!

Is music your thing? It’s time to join the BandAidz Revolution.

Kalide - also records under "citystate" with Mr. A. Joyner (Sydney) , "Three second memory", "Commodore vs. Spectrum". Late 80's and early 90's under "Xenogen" (Analog Heaven label, tapes and freebies). Electronic artist/DJ/engineer/analog architect/FX nut. Co-founder of Electronica Production/Music Promotor/Label team "Kalide" which is now globally distributed in Australia, USA, Canada, and the UK. Kalide was formed in the late 1990's to push the envelope of the underground abstract electronic music scene in Australia - at the time, Sydney's club circuit didn't accommodate the darker edged sounds of Basic Channel, Warp Records, Force Inc, Psy Harmonics and a whole array of IDM white-labels or even first rate emerging electronic bands entering the scene from left field. Kalide was born to fill the void - early live PA's at the Brighton 'Up Bar, Bondi Beach Hotel, Manning Bar, and various industrial venues showcased the likes of Pivot/PVT, Triosk, Bloq,  Coloumbs Law, and a line up of underground DJ's - working under the moniker "Twisted Head Music".

Specifically Kalide/citystate was brought up on electronics, industrial, techno, punk and noise. The sounds merging the Art of Electrical Engineering with customized sonic weapons to create a mixture of sounds from dark driving techno & smart electronics to hand painted walls of melodic and rhythmic experimentation. Highly modified 808's, '303's, custom synths and twisted samples fuel the concrete and steel corroding acid audio spraycans. Bring on the bent up 303's!

More music always on in the atzec conveyor belt hopefully emerging, time permitting.....

I’ve been writing and creating electronic soundscapes—beats, bleeps, and everything in between—since 2000. Over the years, my work has explored the tension between structure and chaos, weaving together ambient textures, fractured rhythms, and subtle imperfections. Whether through sweeping soundscapes or glitchy, off-kilter beats, my music embraces both the polished and the raw, finding beauty in the spaces between.

Each project explores a different facet of my sonic curiosity. From sparse, atmospheric compositions to dense, rhythmic explorations, these projects reflect a fascination with contrast: simplicity and complexity, noise and silence, the organic and the synthetic. Each sound is intentional, yet always leaves room for the unexpected—an evolving conversation between machines and imagination. It’s music that doesn't clamour for attention but slowly unfolds, rewarding those willing to drift into its depths.

At the heart of it all is a love for the little details—the textures that hum beneath the surface, the imperfections that give a sound its soul. My music lives in the margins, in the quiet spaces and the sudden bursts of noise. It’s the electricity before a storm, the breath before sleep, and the fleeting warmth of light just before it fades. It's the beauty of restraint, the resonance of decay, and the endless possibilities of sound itself.

Couchblip is an Independant Record Label base in Sydney Australia. (now dormant)
between 2000-2009 We released a wide range of largely electronic based music ranging from experimental Hip-Hop, left field electronica, bass music and left-field dancefloor business. We wil be silent until we need to make noise again.
