It’s very rare that a plugin has it’s own domain and own site dedicated just for it, but that’s the case with the GigPress plugin, the plugin was built specifically for touring bands.
Quote from the author:
As a website developer who was often building websites for independent bands — and always using WordPress as CMS of choice — I was constantly frustrated by the lack of a simple, viable method of incorporating live shows and tours into these websites. So I figured I’d brush up on some PHP and build my own
Features
GigPress incorporates all the common requests you might have for a plugin of its ilk, including:
* Ability to list both upcoming shows and past shows, chronologically rolled-over as tour dates pass
* Grouping of shows into nameable tours
* hCalendar-rigged
* Auto-linking to Google Maps for venues with a street address
* Fields for venue and ticket-buy URLs, age restrictions, ticket price, and notes
* Built-in functions to display upcoming shows, past shows, and a sidebar listing
* Widget support
* Outputs XHTML-compliant, semantic markup

Hi,
I’m using gig-press on the http://www.tonymoffeit.outlawpoetry.com page. I have a another page where I would love to present different artists and their live dates on one page. So, just buy clicking on an artist/band name a new page opends and will show the gig’s. This would be an interesting feature.
Cheers
Klaus
