Hey, I love this idea and am working on something similar (an alternative events discovery and promotion tool for cities). I see that a lot of you folks here are also working on similar stuff. How about we chat more about these topics? Integration with APIs like BandsInTown, Facebook, apps like Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, music metadata collection from MusicBrainz, Discogs… If these topics sound interesting, join t…

Joined. I run http://www.gnoosic.com and https://www.music-map.com

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I work on https://twitter.com/posterbat (real site down momentarily – Facebook broke my scraper :/ )

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I started such a crowdsourcing effort some time ago :) https://www.reddit.com/r/MusicEventsHackers/comments/87ui5l/...

that is an intense google sheet. :)

Thanks, yeah I posted it to different music subreddits, so I thought I should try and make it eye-catching :)

Oh this is a great idea! Any chance to get a plain list of musicbrainz IDs for the nerds with their own music collection instead of the ever so ephemeral and privacy-infringing Cloud?

Hi anc84, I made http://www.muusical.com and was imagining it being something like musicbrainz but with actual, playable music that is streamed in from youtube or soundcloud. I haven't been actively working on it in a little while but would love to find other kindred spirits who share the vision. After taking a step back, possibly the best approach is to just use the data from music brainz and use my site to attach t…

I don't see how this is relevant. I asked about upcoming events, dissing online music streaming as something I do not do.

I like the idea. Maybe you could leverage Songkick API to support more cities ? (I moved to Tel Aviv recently and it's really hard to spend the time to find out which concerts are worth going to)

Ben from Songkick here and we'd love to work with you on this. If you reach out to me I'd be happy to sort you out with API access. ben[at]songkick[dot]com

It's a shame you decline any apps with monetisation ideas. I think it would be better to offer a paid API service a la Google APIs than to have so many engineers reinvent the wheel. Oh well, I guess the music industry and logical business models never did go hand in hand :/

Looked into this. SongKicks licensing is really restrictive once I start using their API. Do you have a site you use for upcoming shows in Tel Aviv?

I don't really know where to look except songkick, which is why I don't go to many shows here yet

We maaaay have started talking about building an open events API on Reddit… :)

Kind of OT but has anyone succeeded in creating playlists through YouTube's API? I had a kind of similar idea to this and wanted to create automatic playlists but failed on the integration part. EDIT: Ok, looks like this is very easy with the v3 API. This was quite a long time ago.

I've been working on this: https://www.laidbackvj.com/ code here: https://github.com/khaliqgant/laid-back-vj . Happy to work with others!

I love this. Seems great at a party with a projector and sheet!

Is there some kind of filter for types of music? When I look at the "bands" in my town (not through your app), there's everything from metal to folk to techno.

Absolutely, you can pick genres instead of just your favorite venues.
