SoundCloud has just raised around $50 million in funding, valuing the company at $200 million. Its great to see music startups gaining a lot more VC money and SoundCloud is an amazing product.

SoundCloud is aiming to do what YouTube did in video, but for audio, and I think they have already achieved this!

Currently the application is only available in the US, but Im sure we will be seeing it here soon in the UK.

Songkick is a live music recommendation and discovery service which helps users find out when certain bands are playing in their area.

Sitting within the re-launched youtube.com/music site, Songkick will power concert recommendations in the ‘Events Near You’ section which draws on a user’s IP address to pinpoint their location. Sometimes this becomes an issue when your IP is located at a completely different part of the country (which we found that our IP was in Oxford, not in Cornwall!).

Songkick CEO Ian Hogarth, “From our point of view, this is one step closer to making it incredibly easy to find local concerts, whether you’re on Songkick or on another site discovering music […] It’s kind of early days, but it seems like a very significant number of people are coming through, finding out more about the show, buying tickets, etc.”
