no@spam.com (Brenden Mulligan) — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:00:00 CDT

As we approach the milestone of sending over 3.75 million updates on behalf of our users, we wanted to make sure we were giving all our amazing partner sites the credit they deserve. There were a few missing on our network page, and today we updated them. The ones we added are Bandzoogle, LiveMusicMachine, Mobbase, MobileRoadie, Scout66, SeeJoeRock, Songkick (descriptions after the break).

We have a lot more sites working on integrating ArtistData and also have a really special announcement in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

Mobile Roadie just added to the ArtistData Network!

no@spam.com (Brenden Mulligan) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 16:30:00 CDT

We've known these guys for a long time, and we're excited to announce that today our integration with Mobile Roadie went live!

Mobile Roadie, "The simple and inexpensive way for anyone to build and manage their own iPhone and Android Apps" has been making great strides in the mobile space. It's a small team with a focused product, which is the best way to do it. I could go on, but the video below sums it up best:

ArtistData users can activate a connection to Mobile Roadie in the Profile Sync app in the Tools menu!

Welcome Bandzoogle!

Bandzoogle recently announced some major upgrades to their platform, and allowing artists to update their Bandzoogle websites from ArtistData was one of the new features. Wahoo! We're happy they've embraced our platform and look forward to making it even easier to manage your official site! Welcome Bandzooglers!

Zvents now a part of the ArtistData Network!

no@spam.com (Brenden Mulligan) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:30:00 CDT

We're excited to announce that we are now syndicating shows to Zvents!

"Zvents is a local search and advertising network with hundreds of web and mobile partners, featuring event listings to promote local business."

One of the coolest thing about Zvents is that they have their own distribution network as well, so when we send them shows, they send them out to a bunch of very cool media partners as well. So by us adding Zvents, it's like us adding the following partners:

Current users should see Zvents added to the site within the next few days!

ARTISTdirect, BlueHaze, and Findevent added!

no@spam.com (Brenden Mulligan) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT

Today we welcome some more sites to the ArtistData Network!

"ARTISTdirect, Inc. is a digital media entertainment company that is home to an online music network and, through its acquisition of MediaDefender, is a leader in anti-piracy solutions in the Internet piracy protection industry. The ARTISTdirect Network is a network of web-sites offering multi-media content, music news and information, communities organized around shared music interests, music-related specialty commerce and digital music services." (NOTE: Only artists listed with All Music Guide will have content published on ARTISTdirect).

"BlueHaze is your concert community. We love going to concerts. Our friends love going to concerts. But it's not always easy. Sometimes we don't hear about shows until after they've happened. Sometimes it's impossible to get concert tickets. And sometimes, we really want to share our concert photos and reviews with the other fans that were at the show too. So we built BlueHaze to make the live music experience even better by connecting fans and artists to each other around thousands of concert events."

"Findevent is a social networking website where you can post events and invite friends to your events. You can also look for events from around the world - our database of events is updated daily and consists of over 100 000 events."

ArtistData teams up with FanBridge!

no@spam.com (Brenden Mulligan) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:00:00 CDT

I'm excited to announce that ArtistData has partnered with FanBridge as they launch their Tour Calendar feature to make it possible for artists using ArtistData and FanBridge to automatically sync shows from their ArtistData account to their FanBridge newsletter! From now, when you enter shows into AD, they will appear in FanBridge within 24 hours!

FanBridge co-founder, Spencer Richardson notes, "We are very excited to be launching this highly demanded Tour Calendar feature, and look forward to working with a great company like ArtistData who is equally dedicated to providing tools that not only save artists time but that also empower artists to generate greater value from their music marketing initiatives."

I agree. This is just the beginning of a great relationship with FanBridge as we continue to help companies ease artists lives by giving them a single point of entry and management.

Enjoy!

PureVolume show sync is back!

no@spam.com (Brenden Mulligan) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:30:00 CDT

We're sorry it took a bit longer than anticipated, but we wanted to make sure PureVolume was finished with some of their core changes before turning the show syncing ability back on. As of this morning, you can now sync shows directly to your PureVolume calendar again! Wahooooooo!

If you had PV sync on before, it will appear to still be connected and all shows added from now on will sync like normal. If haven't had it on before, or turn it off and then back on, we will send over ALL FUTURE SHOWS. This means there might be some duplicates that appear in PV. We'd recommend clearing out your PV show list first if you want to take this route.

We're happy to have them back as part of the network. Let us know if you have any questions!

New Partner: TourVolume

no@spam.com (Brenden Mulligan) — Tue, 12 May 2009 10:30:00 CDT

ArtistData is excited to announce yet another partner that's been added to our growing network. Today, we opened up a connection to a concert database called TourVolume!

Tour Volume is a concert listing service that supplies tools for concertgoers, bands, clubs, promoters and media channels (newspapers, radio stations, magazines and web portals). These tools will help them discover new music, organize tour dates, promote concerts, share concert listings, buy concert tickets and find concert information worldwide. (via TourVolume.com)

It's been a pleasure getting this up and running and we look forward to working with TourVolume even more! All current users will see that they are activated to this service in the next 24 hours, and you'll see your shows start appearing on their site soon!

New Partner: BandLoop

no@spam.com (Brenden Mulligan) — Tue, 05 May 2009 16:00:00 CDT

ArtistData is happy to announce another partner to our supported site network. Today, we will start syndicating data to a music service called BandLoop, focused on live music information.

Bandloop is a community of bands and music fans working together to share the latest concert information. Bands can add tour dates and messages, while fans can track updates from their favorite bands and enter concert and venue information on their behalf.

A note from the good folks over at BandLoop: "No band left behind - the Bandloop dream. We are dedicated to 1 thing and 1 thing only: providing the most local live music listings, period. We track craploads of bands no matter how popular or underground. Select your bands, get alerted when they announce dates, flag the shows of interest... or, contribute concert info to the giant pool of data. Our iPhone app lets you map your way to local shows when you're away from your computer. Bandloop is proud to be part of the ArtistData network!"

We've turned BandLoop sync on for all users in their Publish and Promote settings!

New Partner: Adva Mobile

no@spam.com (Brenden Mulligan) — Tue, 05 May 2009 09:30:00 CDT

A few weeks ago we added a site called All About Jazz, which was the first in a series of sites that would be filtering ArtistData information and only accepting certain genres. It was a big step towards a new relationship with publishers. Today, we're introducing a partner who will take us two steps further. Today we are live and connected with Adva Mobile.

Adva Mobile enables musicians to reach their fans on their phones through a Mobile Fan Club experience, including mobile messaging, automatically created & customizable mobile websites, mobile content downloads and streaming, mobile social sharing, mobile commerce and much more. The service is free to musicians and their fans, although standard operator charges apply.

Now, all artists who list themselves as Jazz, Funk, World, and Blues genre will be added to AAJ. Other artists will not.

AAJ has been incredible to work with and we suggest you give them a look. Read on to see their announcement!

ArtistData Now Updates Twitter and Facebook Status!

As of today, ArtistData now helps artists connect with users on Twitter and Facebook by updating your status whenever you enter new information into the ArtistData dashboard. We post headlines for news and blog with a link to the full article. For shows, we group together any shows posted within 3 hours of each other (so your fans don't feel spammed if you add a few shows at a time).

Also, we'll post a day-of-show reminder, where a simple update goes out saying what city you're playing in that night.
