For many years, I always had to spend hours scouring the internet just to find that some band or performer I really enjoy played pretty close to where I lived (which can be very rare), but I missed it because I had no idea the show was happening! That can be frustrating.

Well it seems some other guys also had the same frustrations and started Songkick, which helps you track bands you like, upcoming shows, shows you have been to, etc.

I am very new to the service, but so far I am very impressed. It is integrated with parts of Facebook, has great search features, and really seems to be set up by people who honestly love their music (plus making money off something you love never hurts).

But once again, I am pretty new to the service. If you have any advice to offer on it, or offer another suggestion of a similar site that I might like, please do so! I am always looking for great resources on music, and any and all help is appreciated.
