I've got a ticket to see My Bloody Valentine in San Francisco on Sept 30.

I'm a member of a bunch of different music networking sites.  I joined to try to promote my events, though it doesn't seem to help much.  Part of the problem is that there just aren't that many people on most of the sites.

If you look at what happens when there's a popular event, like a festival or the MBV concert, that's when the most possible people will say they're interested in an event.  Some of the sites are barely registering, though.  If they don't work for a popular event like this, how are they going to work for a little rinky-dink one?

http://www.last.fm - 179 people attending.  312,075 listeners worldwide.

http://www.sonicliving.com - 91 going, 139 interested, 203 total. MVB has 1695 fans worldwide.

http://www.upcoming.org (owned by yahoo, uses yahoo id) - 61 going, 57 interested, 118 total

http://www.jambase.com - MBV has 172 fans worldwide, 14 going to SF show.

http://www.tourfilter.com - MBV tracked by 23 people

http://www.going.com - 7 people

http://www.eventful.com - 3 people watching

http://www.tourb.us - MBV has 72 fans worldwide, but I'm the only one listed as going to the SF show.

http://www.bandega.com - doesn't say how many people are interested in a show, doesn't show info about other users.

myspace - events zip code feature doesn't work, couldn't find event.

Anyone know of similar sites I missed?  Looks like Last.fm and Sonic Living are rivals for first place, depending on how you count it.

yeah it sux....does live nation count? so far word o' mouth is really fucking old school but seems to be the most effective "drumbeat". i get mine by subscribing to as many venues as possible...really time consuming....and moving between "overlapping circles " to drop the word.

this is an aspect of greg's dream project he has wanted to do forever...got motivated to get started on by brian just before the axe fell...brought me into & is what he's setting up me & brian to bring to fruition, with a lotta help [hint hint]

also as he would say..."don't put off your dreams"

JUST discovered MBV on Pandora (along with Slow Dive, Catherine Wheel, Cocteau Twins) oh well I guess I missed over a decades worth of incredible music but I'm finally with the program -- so, uh -- how was the MBV show?  For the record, I'm the guy who wanted to play fiddle with the WG awhile back (never got it together, obv) and I tend to get event info from Squidlist, the PlantTrees dude's list, and Kitty's List -- none of the one's you've mentioned...
