Musicians and Artists have new Social Site ~ Kerchoonz
If you are like me, you have a couple of Social Sites that you use each day, Facebook, MySpace or my personal favorites Plurk and Twitter. Now there is a site just like those but with tunes and videos!
The site is called Kerchoonz.com and it has some really promising units to play with such as videos and music.
The idea behind Kerchoonz is simple, artists should be getting exposure with their music and they should be compensated but the playing field should be first and foremost a place to let your creativity out! At Kerchoonz, you can meet other musicians, socialize, share, create, and explore together in complete harmony because the rules are laid out plain and simple. And the site is free to use, which is always a good thing.
The site is nicely laid out, easy to use and fun. If it is not fun then I will not be back as much, which explains my utter lack of interest in Facebook these days, but that is another post.
So far I have been able to play around a bit, watched a Killers video, heard some Helicopter Girl
( nice techno sound) and checked out some unsigned artists as well. You can join groups and follow people like you do in MySpace but it seems a bit less cluttered * good sign*.
This is a site to keep your eyes on, I have joined and will be a regular weekly visitor because you never know when you will hear the next great band! I do hope to discover more hard rock bands there in the weeks to come. There is a ton to check out and I am sure it will be fun doing so.
I would suggest a genre search option as it is not clear what your about to listen to until you listen to it, which makes for a frustrated user ( well, okay it frustrated me!) so maybe in the weeks to come small details like that can be added and worked on.
There is something else that makes this website different from the others, a Biz Section that allows for placement of contact information on Music Based Business. The listing there now is New Media Law LLP, a great resource for musicians. There is also a classifieds section as well, are you a budding Artist, a up and coming actor or actress, then this is where you can place your advertisement!
Kerchoonz is going to be a player in the Internet Music arena, and I plan on keeping a eye on this for future reference.
Why not watch the video below and then give a whirl at Kerchoonz?
nice blog and hope you enjoy Kerchoonz.
We are working on a genre search and also a really special search & discovery feature that will be introduced in the next weeks!! There are a lot of other things we’re working on behind the scenes too. We’re really grateful for your support!

Hey there Choonz ~
Great to hear from you, that really helps us see how dedicated the service will be for its users. I think this will really be a worth while service and will provide us with a whole new way to find the new bands! I hope one day I see Virtual Zeppelin there!!!
peace
