CMS geared toward music band or alternative

Question

Friend of mine asked me to create website for their band. My question is if such solution, either CMS (preferably written in PHP) or service (website, must allow css control) already exist created for this purpose. They currently have Myspace profile but we all know how messy it is.

Draft requirements for sections:

• News / Blog (support tags)
• Gigs (list of all coming and passed)
• The band (about page)
• Music / Discography (with flash player, can preview and/or download files)
• Video (embeded from youtube, vimeo, etc)
• Gallery (pics from gigs, events, etc)
• Guestbook
• Contact page

Other:

• User management (for band members)
• Comment system (each blog entry, gig, gallery, picture, etc)

Answer 1

Wordpress could handle all this, some with help of plugins (such as the gallery). I know it sounds like a simplified answer, and yes it is.

You can do more research on available CMS here.

Answer 2

The Drupal CMS is written in PHP. To tick off your list:

• there's an event datatype for things happening at a particular time like gigs or release dates
• the taxonomy module supports tagging
• static pages as well as blog entries and images also have their own datatypes, meaning they can be managed
• additional datatypes can be created like albums, tracks, etc.
• sites support multiple users
• comments are also built in

Can't speak for whether Wordpress is any better, but as a CMS Drupal is dead powerful.
