Songkick

This week, Songbird released their beta, which comes bundled with a Concert add-on brought to you by us! We’ve been dreaming of a music player integration that will show you which artists are on tour as you’re playing music, and they’ve done it. Click on the “get tickets” button or the ticket icon and it sends you straight to Songkick to buy tickets then and there. How many times have you been listening to an awesome song and thought to yourself, “This band is amazing, I wish I could see them live! I wonder when they’re coming to town?” Now all that work is done for you. Although this doesn’t help me, since I’m listening to Biggie right now, who rules, but is not coming to a city near me any time soon.

Also, just to brag a big. Ars Technica calls this an “impressive feature.”
