Songkick: Never miss a live show again

[sparkchaser]

I stumbled upon this website last week.

Songkick

Anyone else using this?

Add cities and bands you want to track and you will get email notification when they come to that city. This is great for me because I don't usually visit artist websites to check tour dates.

Their interface could use a bit of tweaking but it works well enough.

Only Facebook signups.

No, you can register normally.

Ah, yeah. (More coffee, stat.)

Looks interesting, but it still depends on you knowing exactly what bands you'll want to see beforehand and keeping that list updated. Feels like it would be much more useful if you could track by genre, venue etc as well.

 

[sparkchaser]

You can track by venue.

What I did was pick cities in my area and then picked artists I want to see. Then i clicked on my calendar and I saw that Ryan Adams, Wilco, Jayhawks, Deer Tick, and Kathleen Edwards are all coming this spring to at least one of the places I picked.
