New York, NY - June 8, 2009 - Livekick, the live concerts
recommendation and tickets search engine, announced today the official
launch of its platform at http://livekick.com. The site, which is free
to use, helps music fans easily discover local live concerts based on
artists they like and find the best and cheapest available tickets
online. The Livekick search engine includes more than 75,000 concerts
in the U.S., more than 20,000 artists performing, close to 40,000
venues, and near real-time updated ticket pricing information from the
most popular concert tickets web sites.
Anyone can easily create a free account at http://livekick.com and add
their favorite artists in seconds by pointing Livekick to anywhere
they engage with music, online or on their computers. You can import
artists from your iTunes library, computer music library, MySpace
Music, Last.fm, Pandora, iLike, blip.fm or Rhapsody accounts. You can
also add artists by name or by selecting artists Livekick suggests.
Livekick creates a musical profile based on your favorite artists and
automatically imports new artists from your music services as you
listen to new music online.
Based on your musical profile, and where you live or travel to,
Livekick makes sure that you are always updated about artists' tours
that are relevant to you, and about special promos, tickets presales
and more. Livekick automatically sends you newly announced concert
recommendations via email, Twitter or personalized RSS feeds and you
can also check your concert recommendations on http://livekick.com.
Once you find a concert to go to, Livekick makes it easy for you to
find and to buy the best available tickets online. The Livekick
tickets search engine continuously scans the most popular direct and
reseller ticket web sites, including TicketMaster, LiveNation,
StubHub, Tickets.com, TicketWeb, TicketCity, TicketsNow, eBay, and
MySpace Music, to find the cheapest currently available tickets.
"We developed Livekick to help music fans never miss a live concert
again," said Aviv Eyal, co-founder of Livekick. "Our live concert
recommendation alerts ensure you're among the first to know when an
artist you like is performing near you, and our tickets search engine
provides you with the most affordable ticket options available via all
of the major ticketing sites. Livekick is a valuable one-stop
destination for music fans and anyone who's looking to make the most
of their entertainment dollars."
For music enthusiasts, Livekick has additional features that make it
the ultimate one-stop destination for live concert information. Your
Concerts provides a personalized concert calendar with your favorite
artists' performances, which you can easily export to your Outlook or
iCal calendars; Your Artists tracks your favorite artists with
complete tour listings, user-generated videos from their live
concerts, links to artists' web sites, and more; the Livekick Desktop
Widget, downloadable to a PC or a Mac, automatically scans your
computer daily for new music files and adds new artists you listen to
on your computer to your Livekick account; and social network sharing
enables you to share concerts with friends via Facebook and MySpace.
Web site developers can use the free Livekick API, available at
http://livekick.com/api/ to add rich, local and up-to-date concerts
and tour information to their web applications. Utilizing the API, CBS
Radio Online provides radio listeners with a link to Livekick to find
out about live concerts by artists they hear on the radio, and to find
the cheapest tickets available online.
Livekick was founded by Aviv Eyal and Yarden Tadmor in May 2008 and
soft-launched in beta in Fall 2008. Livekick was recognized by
AlwaysOn as an OnHollywood 100 winner in 2009.
