Keep Track of Concerts

Category: Events — Biella @ 6:01 pm

One of the best things about living in NYC is the music. It is overflowing here, so much so, I honestly get a little overwhelmed. But every few months I decide: I am going to see a string of live shows and do so and then retreat for a few months until I can muster up the will and money to dive again.

The picks for the next few weeks are a local NYC Indie-folk band Kind Monitor playing around the corner from me in Joe’s Pubs (there are rumors it will start with a Ukulele act!) And then soon after I will see The Cave Singers from Seattle playing at the Bowery Ballroom. I hope to catch The Books but they are not passing through anytime soon, which brings me to the tech-related part of the post..

I am surprised–and could be wrong and hope that I am proven wrong–that there is no webbie 2.something tool/site that allows you to punch in your favorite bands and zip code-mile radius and that then sends you email alerts for up and coming concerts.

  1. Lastfm does something like that but without the mile radius i think.

  2. Doesnt that sound a bit like pre-planned stalking?

  3. Tourfilter.com should do the trick. It’s a tad buggy, but you can just enter in as many bands as you think you might enjoy seeing, and it will send occasional emails with minimal spam.
