The BISS List covers great live music & other events, personally recommended by our independent crew of die hard local music fans in the San Francisco Bay Area. Check our website www.bisslist.com or join our list by sending an email to [email protected] to find out what's happening around town, and to win free tickets to shows! WHAT IS BISS LIST? The BISS List started in 2003 as an email newsletter listing shows for all the diehard live music fans in the bay area. We are heavy on funk and jam but we love it all! The weekly email newsletter still accounts for quarter of our readers. However, with the immense growth of social networking sites, we have been able to grow exponentially over the last few years. BISS List reaches approx 10,000 followers & subscribers every week through Email, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Instagram and our web site. (www.bisslist.com) We provide a completely biased list only listing the shows that we and our fans like. We also give away tickets to about 80 percent of our shows from the Fillmore, Warfield, Shoreline Amphitheatre, Independent, Great American Music Hall, Red Devil Lounge, Boom Boom Room, Yoshi's, Slim's, Regency, New Parish, abd Brick & Mortar. FREE SERVICES
Our calendar listings are free but are chosen by our team based on what we like and what our subscribers like. Send an email to [email protected] with all the show info in text format. Please include as much of the following as possible: Day, Date, Band Name, Venue, City, State, Web site, Set time, Door time, ticket price. Please let us know if you want to giveaway tickets. If so, let us know how many pairs, and who to contact within your organization as well as the deadline for when you need the names. Those shows on our list that have giveaways will get extra visibility both on the weekly email as well as on our social media sites. We send the email list out on weds/thurs of each week so we ask that all submissions are in by Friday of the week before. Highlighted shows
Each week, we will highlight those shows that we, the staff and crew, are going to. These shows will get a “shout out” in the intro section of the newsletter and on the website. If we are going to these shows, we will also commonly share these shows by posting in excess to our followers on all our social avenues. PAID Services

***Disclaimer: BISS list is not an objective news source, but we do discriminate equally. If you would like us to post an event, please send us all of the information via email to [email protected] at least two weeks prior to the event. We will do our best to include all submissions and list them correctly, but please be patient as we are a small operation and highly imperfect. Thanks for your continued support! B*I*S*S
