Wish artist and venues would publish RSS feeds of concert schedules.

@jake4480
well, mainly I'm just fed up with discovering bands I like are playing near me at the last minute - and there are no tickets left.

@robertpi @jake4480 I keep thinkjng about writing some aggregator for bands/venues. I tried Bands in town, but was such a ball-ache to navigate.

@tom @robertpi ugh. Yeah, I hated Bandsintown, never found that useful. The concept, yeah. But the exection- garbage haha

@jake4480 @robertpi Judging by a lot of band websites, they use the same plug-ins for listing gigs. Feels like it wouldn't be too hard. Apart from the Facebook only ones...

@tom @robertpi right? And now there's so much data from like, Bandcamp, and basically every band is on Instagram - I wish they were all ANYWHERE else haha. At least I'm finding less on Spotify these days, the underground punk and rap (well, a lot of it) want nothing to do with Spotify's bs.

Not an RSS but I've been leveraging songkick web site

Iirc I imported my iTunes playlists & I get an email notification for any shows by those bands
And there is a calendar/ical I connected to my calendar so they show up

It has been years since I configured it, so my memory is a little rusty but it is still working

Received an email about Shonen Knife having a tour stop within an hours drive
