This is the first music-related start-up I've seen in a while that I am at all tempted to try out. As Michael Arrington describes it:
I've felt a similar frustration. I wonder and love the idea of an integrated concert listing service with ticketing links, I wonder, though, how happy TicketMaster will be if this service takes off, and they become the de facto interface to concert ticket purchasing.
Freshly launched Songkick is a startup looking to capitalize on that growing market by providing a simple way to discover live shows for artists you love along with the cheapest concert tickets. The impetus for the site grew out of the founder's frustrations over no single concert site providing a comprehensive list of all the concerts they want to see. There would be some on Ticketmaster, others on LiveNation, and still more on resale at StubHub. So, they've created a comprehensive database that tracks concerts as they appear on the 14 different ticketing sites and across dozens of blogs. Currently they only cover the U.K. and U.S.Songkick: Live Music Lovers Will Love This
