Show HN: Listen to a playlist of bands coming to your town

I entered Manchester, UK from 09/09/2015 to 10/01/2015. When I clicked `Show me concerts` it displays `Loading...` then that disappears. No error message or information on why nothing has been shown.

At this point I hazarded a guess that your data sources are US only, so I tried New York City. Again, this did not work.

I then looked at what was going on, and your server is returning a 500 when making the GET request to http://bandsoftheweek.com/location-then-events?location-quer...

I think you should handle 500 responses better.

I'm curious where you get your data from? I played around with a website for finding club nights a few years ago - the best source of data I could find was scraping Facebook. Unfortunately it was a bit unreliable.

The biggest problem with trying to do this in an automated fashion is sorting out the crap from the actual gigs and events. It's easy to miss smaller things if you just use a single major API. Bandsintown seem fairly good at it, but have a pretty horrible interface.

This leaves me wondering, where did you get the quotes from that this service is the best way to find bands when it isn't working? Or is it just that HN has DDoS'ed your backend? :)

EDIT: it also appears that you are lacking a #contact named anchor tag - the "contact us" button is not working.

What data sources does it use?

I didn't actually expect to use the site - I thought I'd just glance at it and close. But it was so slick that before I really noticed what was happening, Spotify was playing a list of lots of small bands playing around Brighton (UK) in the next week. Cheers for building it!

Would be great if you could filter by genre somehow.
