Songkicks Tourbox Makes It Easier For Musicians To Trumpet Their Concerts Across The Web

machineI'm not a professional musician, but apparently it's a headache for artists to publicize their tourdates on the myriad number of websites and apps that cater to music lovers. Not only is there Facebook and Twitter, but there's YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud and Hype Machine. Enter Songkick, a concert promotion startup that's backed by Sequoia Capital and Index Ventures. They have tons of those little widgets across the web that show when your favorite band is in town. Now they're trying to make it easier for musicians to manage promotions themselves. They've built a product called Tourbox, which connects to a musician's Facebook fan page and automates the publishing for concert dates across the web and in sites like YouTube, Tumblr, Vevo and Spotify. The company counts M83 and Of Montreal among Tourbox's users so far.
