#12Oh man this is exactly what I've been looking for. Spotify has the "Browse > Concerts" tab which shows upcoming concerts in your zip code for bands you've listened to on Spotify, but I've always wished I could just hit "Play." Requested Nashville (c'mon, no Music City, USA??), look forward to giving this a spin!

#13I am learning to ignore any kind of application that has the "in your city" message. Basically it is, "in your city if it happens to be a major metropolis" - which is not where some of us live.
Why is it the app's fault you live in the middle of nowhere?

along with many many many others, e,g jukely.com that actually has a ton of cities but catered towards people who like to discover artists more so go to giant popular shows (has subscription fee)

I don't really get why you are being downvoted. Honestly I kind of expected a US only app, which is by far more common. But I have to say this is actually even worse. It's not just discover "music" in "your city". Looking a it, it actually means, discover "mainstream music, in super mainstream venues" in "your city". 9-NINE-9 Venues for Paris? GO take a gander a New York, with this app you can "discover", ZZ-Top, Mad…
Thanks for the honest feedback. We've been discussing this in the office, and we agree! If I can convince the team, next week we'll implement some new logic in the Parabola flow so that we select more from the middle of the popularity graph of concerts rather than the top.
Wouldn't it be better to try and select artists (or at least genres) the Spotify user "likes"?

#16Neat design! I tried this a few years ago by making http://bandsoftheweek.com/, but I haven't kept up with fixing bug or improving it. Perhaps I can finally take it down.

Thanks for taking a look! We decided to limit the initial launch and plan to add more cities next week, but that doesn't mean you can't have a playlist for your city now. If you're interested, you can use the link below to clone the Parabola flow I used to create the playlists. You'll be able to create arbitrarily many playlists for cities of your choosing. The only potentially sticky parts are that you'll need to ap…
Seems totally reasonable. An alternate way they could have given you feedback is: Seems like a idea, be interested if it was in my area.

It's the marketing of "in your city" when they only support (by my estimate) ~6% of the US population, which is at fault.
I assume your "middle of nowhere" comment is just trolling.

#19This appears to be limited to well-known musicians. IMO those musicians don't need the help-- people are already finding their shows just fine.
There's a ton of great musicians out there that want to be discovered by wider audiences, but are regularly ignored by various music directories like this. Seems like a lost opportunity, considering that they're probably more willing to pay for inclusion than already well-known artists.

Songkick, and spotify for that matter, already do that
