DeepRockDrive offers live streaming, interactive concerts

Are you the kind of person who hates having to go through the trial and tribulations of attending a popular concert? The Las Vegas-based DeepRockDrive hopes to eliminate all headaches and hassles by allowing concert-goers to pay a flat fee to watch artists perform live streaming over the Internet.

During a special "second release event" at the BlogHaus booth at CES, co-founder Jeff Henshaw spoke about why music fans should care about the service.

Companies have slowly tried to make a transition to on-demand music, but most services tend to focus on recorded music instead of live content. The most important feature of DeepRockDrive, outside of streaming music, is that the fans get an interactive concert in which it is able to select the playlist, chat with the band, modify camera feeds, and more.

Artists will fly out and perform in a custom studio DeepRockDrive has close to the Last Vegas Strip. Viewers will be able to type messages to the band, giving them support or any other types of shout outs.

So no more having to find a babysitter, fight in traffic, pay for parking, or any of the other inconveniences that are related to seeing a concert live.

Although the concept sounds interesting, it appears to be better suited for smaller musicians who aren't yet well-known or signed to a record label. On the other hand, the Internet has recently been credited with helping create viability for smaller bands where radio and album sales have failed.
