May have been suggested but would love to be able to toggle all venues in a certain city so I don't have to go searching for venues that I may be interested in.

#72This is such a great, simple, almost obvious idea. This type of ideas is getting more and more rare, so it is great to see one popping here and there.

That sounds time-consuming
Yeah, but if you make this and Spotify decides to do the same, then it's time-wasting.
Depends on the motivation mix: a Spotify implementation would not undo any learning that happened along the way, and a showcase/attention goal might even benefit from being the independent original to a corporate clone.

#74I did this too: moreencores.com
And you can do it for any city
Please beta test it :)

#75You should add a way to submit venues for other cities in single and batch methods.
Re: Show HN: A site that makes Spotify playlists of bands coming to town
#76Cool, but one question: did you send a feature-request to Spotify before you decided to make this?
Do you have an example of Spotify implementing any of the feature requests in a sub 2-year time-frame? I don't.

#77Hey, 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 the public group on Facebook I created just now:

or this new subreddit:

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?
Yeah, just wanted to ask if you use an API to get events? I've been working on something in a similar direction for Vienna. Tried to get SongKick API access, but they declined me. I also used BandsInTown on a project, but it's a bit limited. These days I'm just using Facebook Events, which is ok, but not perfect – can't get all the events in a particular city automatically. Managed to manually overcome this though. B…
OK, I just create that group :)

#79Devil is in the details. There's just no place to reliably source all of the events that are happening. Sure you can get the ones that sell tickets through ticketmaster, or whatever, but nobody reliably aggregates all the smaller concerts. So this will always be badly incomplete. Discovering all those shows is on of my main use-cases for facebook right now - it's the one place (almost) all of them show up.
How about crowdsourcing the info somehow, maybe letting people enter it for their city from some source and making that public for everyone?
I started such a crowdsourcing effort some time ago :)
