I'm an Austin, TX girl...and when I left the "live music capital" to move to Prague I found that I missed good live music. However, I also found that the smaller "Austin" type of bands don't tour Europe...so I was in need of new music to listen to live. Songkick has been an amazing resource. It is easy to use, helpful & smooth with information (giving me good information without flooding my inbox) and the bands it recommends are very much in tune with what I love as well as a bit outside the box to keep my interest growing. I recently used Songkick to purchase tickets to a show here in Prague & it made the entire experience extremely simple. I was super happy & plan to just let Songkick be my go-to ticket provider.
