Five dudes. That's it. Five dudes. Running in a Sisyphean state on a giant hamster ball that powers octiv.live world headquarters. Not really... Close, but not really. The octiv.live team is a quintuple of very talented dudes with a common goal and a passion for live music. But without a face to put to the name, how would you know that?

Good news: the venues showed up. Venue signup is now open to anyone. No invite code, no secret handshake. Venues get their own public page, can browse artists, and can send booking requests directly. Casting Calls Sometimes a venue knows it needs someone for Friday night but has no idea who. That's what Casting Calls are for. A venue posts what they're after, the date, the vibe, the budget, and lets artists…
