BandsInTown

BandsInTown

The polar opposite of JamBase, BandsInTown cuts right to the chase of finding live music in your city. There's no forums, no community, and even artist pages are pretty slim on content. It pulls off two unique tricks, though. One, it has a Concert Cloud feature that lets you quickly filter recommendations by ticket price, date, and distance. Second, its Facebook app integrates the entire BandsInTown experience, which is ideal for people who spend most of their time glued to Facebook.

Pros:
• Facebook integration
• iTunes import (via Facebook app)
• Pandora import<
• Last.fm import
• Artist page music playlists
• Concert Cloud recommendation filter
• RSS and iCal feeds for show recommendations
• Simple to navigate

Cons:
• No mobile apps
• Thin artist content
• No Slacker import
• No community
• No direct links to artist Web sites
• Doesn't include events beyond live music
