"Upon registering for a free membership on the site, users are asked to create a list of their favorite bands. Users can add to their list one act at a time, or upload full playlists and listening databases directly from music platforms such as iTunes, Pandora and Last.fm.

Livekick then matches the user's music preferences and regional settings to its database of tours, creating a personalized calendar of upcoming concerts and music recommendations. Users can opt to receive new concert notifications through a number of services, including e-mail and Twitter. Once its members have identified which concerts they'd like to check out, Livekick even allows them to compare prices across the primary and secondary markets and purchase their ideal tickets."

"It’s easy to draw comparisons between LiveKick and Kayak, both are powerful aggregators in their respective area...

"The compelling part of Livekick’s model is that it doesn’t require a lot of work on the users’ part and builds off of the musical technologies, like iTunes and others, to make its site more interactive. This could help Livekick stand out in the crowd."

"for keeping track of old favorites on tour, Livekick beats any other site I've seen so far."

"Instead of forcing you to enter artist names manually, Livekick lets you import them directly from iTunes, as well as online music services such as iLike, Pandora, and Last.fm. (Last.fm is a part of CBS Interactive, which also publishes CNET News.) This not only saves hours of time--the import took about 10 seconds for more than 600 artists--but it also helps you remember artists you wouldn't have thought to follow. In my case, I seldom listen to Lyle Lovett (except when driving my daughter around--she loves "the song about the hat") or the Reverend Horton Heat, but I know that both are fantastic in concert. And thanks to the iTunes import feature in Livekick, I just found out that both are stopping near Seattle in the next month."

"Livekick imports your personal music library from iTunes or other music services to create a personalized concert listing in a handy calendar form."

"Easy, Simple, Handy"

"Their new company Livekick can be best described as the Kayak of music concert ticketing. The service helps users discover live concerts in their geographic vicinity and purchase the cheapest available tickets."

"A proprietary recommendation engine suggests what upcoming local concerts users would enjoy attending by crossing stylistic relationship data, such as performing artists and bands, with geo and venue data. The engine monitors for relevant events and sends an email alert as soon as new matching concerts are announced, allowing users to act quickly and buy tickets while they're cheap or before they run out."

"Create an account on LiveKick.com and you'll never miss another live concert from the bands you care about. This fancy new webtool synthesizes information from sites like eBay, StubHub, and Ticketmaster and delivers the goods on your favorite bands right to you."
