Kadoink, widget-maker for bands and their fans, raises $7 million

Kadoink lets bands create widgets where fans can sign up to receive text, calls or songs from them. Fans can also add the bands widgets to their own blogs. It is also a sort of mobile social network, as fans can send messages about bands to each other through Kadoink, while using their mobile devices.

Participating bands include Third Eye Blind, Rogue Wave and Death Cab For Cutie.

The San Francisco company has closed a $7 million Series A round, reports VentureWire, from Sutter Hill Ventures and angels.
