"awesome" ???
I just tried it, for the bay area it said there were 1887 concerts, then gave me no way to facet the search results by genre, venue etc. I tried the search box, which, confusingly, is right next to the "sign up as an artist". The search results despite the bay area being set as my location showed me concerts in London as the first result.
I wouldn't say songkick is anything like awesome.
- archivator 13y agoThat's not really the use case. The use case is more along the lines of "I like this band a lot and would love to see them live but I can't be bothered to track this stuff", so you go to songkick and it will send you an email when they announce dates near you. That part is awesome. Your use case should be accommodated too, granted, but it's not the direction they're currently headed.
- simoncion 13y agoIf they haven't really considered that use case, and their service doesn't handle it well, why on earth do they provide the means to make their service look bad? Based on the GP's (and your) report, the search box should be replaced with a freeform text field or somesuch that lets you input artists you're interested in, and a button that subscribes you to notifications.
