Shameless plug: bandashoy.com

Hi everyone.

The #1 reason I love Buenos Aires so much is its endless cultural offering, especially live music.

However I've always found it a pain to find out what's playing any particular night without having to sift through endless websites or Instagram accounts, and I've missed some great shows because of it.

My website bandashoy.com (a nod to indiehoy.com) lists rock and jazz gigs (with some wiggle room as far as genre of music goes) happening in Buenos Aires. It also offers a Map feature to quickly see what's happening in your area.

I hope you like it, and if you do, please share any way it could be improved. The site updates itself automatically (with a little help from AI) as venues release new event information. Content will grow further in terms of venues tracked as time goes on, and I'm considering expanding the genres of music gradually beyond 'rock' and jazz as well.

PS: Hope this was okay to plug! There's no commercial side to this — I only stand to lose money running this.

This is great! Thank you for creating this website!

Thanks to those who responded a year and a half ago. The site has been running ever since and has been improved such that it lists a lot of rock and jazz events without my personal intervention. The design has been improved as well.

What it still needs now that a new cultural season has begun, is more venues to track in terms of gigs, particularly alternative/indie rock and jazz. If you're a fan of a particular venue that isn't listed, let me know.

And if you're performing yourself, I can now also enter one-off events outside of venues that the site doesn't already track.
