What's the big, mostly blank, turquoise box in the middle for?

Hi, Where are you located? My guess is there are no shows in you area or you have the time frame set to small. Try expanding your time frame, choose to show unsigned artists, and extend the distance.

this is an example of my homepage for Boston, MA with my preferences. http://www.bandsintown.com/user/knewjax

I'm in Auburn, AL. There's a few shows listed here, but not much.

The problem I always saw with trying to start something like this is providing all the info about local shows and small bands that are likely only listed on bar and club web pages -- did you guys find some way to get around that?

We'll we allow anyone to post shows. So we are hoping that as we grow, dedicated fans, the artists themselves, or the venues will add their schedules to keep things up to date.
