FWIW, I like bandsintown a lot more at first glance. I didn't have to click anything, and I instantly found out a lot about what's going in my area.
It looked like I had 5 or 10 more clicks at least to get anything good out of sonicliving. I'll probably never go there again unless someone I trust strongly recommends it. I'm sure I'll idly pop into bandsintown a few more times over the next few months.
