Chris Marstall, the founder of Tourfilter, decided he wasn't satisfied with helping people track their favorite bands. He realized something was missing when it came to local movie schedules. As Boston movie connoisseurs are aware, Greater Boston is always on top of the film scene. The Brattle Theatre, Coolidge Corner Theatre, the Harvard Film Archive, and the Museum of Fine Arts could keep you in a theatre seat every single night with current arthouse hits,... more ›

The April rain is seemingly behind us, the flowers are springing, but we're not yet upon summer festival season. Soon enough we won't be able to go a weekend without a sleepless night with ringing in our ears as we spent too many hours in the heat a little too close to a bank of speakers broadcasting to the masses.

Last month Chris Marstall founder of Tourfilter headlined the first ever Tourfilter DJ Night at River Gods in Cambridge. He played a set from the Tourfilter mixtape, all from bands that were hitting the Hub in the near future. He packed the house and they asked him back.

Not all technology startups are out for big money. Tourfilter began as an idea to develop a tool so the founder, Chris Marstall, so he wouldn't miss his favorite bands when they were in town. Unlike some of the other sites like Pollstar or Tourb.us, Tourfilter doesn't track bands from their tour calendars but off of the venues in a specific area. Bostonist has been on board from early on, it's almost a year old (turning 1 on April 1), and the site has seen a fair amount of media attention from the likes of the Boston Globe, Metro, and recently both Wired and Rolling Stone. Tonight the site takes center stage at River Gods in Cambridge where Marstall will DJ the evening using all bands tracked in Tourfilter. more ›
