1. Google Docs
Google Docs is similar to Microsoft’s Office suite only simpler and completely online. This allows you access to your important lyrics, schedules, and accounting docs from any computer anywhere on the internet. Use Google Docs to share your lyrics with your band mates and even upload and share mp3s. Use a spreadsheet doc to manage band expenses and income. Use the form maker doc to create a booking form. Use the word processor doc to create a set list or the drawing pad to sketch your stage set up. You can then share your documents and allow multiple users to update information. You can also choose who does or doesn’t have access to these documents. The possibilities are endless.
2. GmailBesides being a reliable and easy to use email provider, you can also use Gmail to manage your band email addresses @your-domain-name. Learn how to set that up here.

Gmail also has a built in IM and video chat feature right in your inbox—which can be useful when you need feedback from an absent bandmate when you’re in the studio. This chat tool can only be used with other Gmail users, however.
