BIGSOUND, Australia’s annual music industry conference, is set to kick off next week in Brisbane. Industry stakeholders and musicians from around Australia and the world will soon be descending on the Queensland capital.
Many of those stakeholders will be there to discover the next Tame Impala or Courtney Barnett and will be keeping their ears to the ground to stay on top of any buzzed about acts who could blow up in the next 12 months.
This is where BIGSOUND Buzz comes in. Designed and built by esteemed and ever-imaginative digital agency Bolster, BIGSOUND Buzz is an app that gives you the lowdown on the most hyped artists at BIGSOUND in real time.
The app works by tallying up social media data, taking into account volume, engagement, and influence, and generating a leaderboard, bar graph, and pie chart view of who the most talked-about bands and artists at BIGSOUND are.
At the time of writing, Braille Face are leading the top 10, followed by Jack Grace and The Gooch Palms. You can take a look at BIGSOUND Buzz for yourself right here and make sure to bookmark it before you make your way to BIGSOUND next week.
