Ok, so I'm behind (as usual) on my blog posts, but I will certainly not pass this one up. A while back, a buzz really started to hum in this wide world of the InterWeb about a new plug-in for iTunes called iConcertCal. Just "two grad students... living in Seattle ... tired of missing concerts for our favorite bands!" Really? No venture-backed business plan? How great is that!?
When the plug-in was announced, there was considerable coverage and it continued to pick up as some big-name blogs started covering their cool tool. PodBop, lifehacker, even a local San Francisco radio station was covering it! Just a quick Google or Technorati search shows you just how much buzz there is.
Well I am extremely pleased to say that with their release of version 1.1, they've introduced a few really nice features, and ..... (drumroll) ....... integrated our JamBase event data into their feed!! They even kindly inform people how to get their dates to appear in iConcertCal, which is to go and Add your Show at JamBase. Great work guys, keep it up and we'll keep looking forward to new features and upgrades.

I Got My Face Rawked OFF!
I don't know about you guys, but years back I thought I had finished my hard rock phase. I had my fill of Metallica, Godsmack and Ozzy. I know that I'll never get sick of like Zepplin and Rage Against the Machine (can you say Coachella!?). But last night, my faith was restored that hard rock still lives and it took Boulder rockers Rose Hill Drive to prove it to me.
It had to have been 7 or 8 years since I had been to a concert and actually head-banged (missing the long hair now, not quite the same)! Anyway, Rose Hill Drive (official site) played to a sold out crowd at Cafe du Nord in San Francisco last night. We were surprised to hear it was sold out, and several of my friends didn't make it in. I really think this is one of those bands who just "have it." I think that point is proven by the fact they will be embarking on a slew of dates opening for The Who later this year. So, first off, a trio rocking this hard? Hell yea. Secondly, they're tight, LOUD, they have great stage presence, catchy songs, very strong vocals, killer pig skins (think Bonham) and rawking guitar riffs and solos! So what more do you want in a rock band?
You really need to see this band, no question.
