There was a time and a place when Bostonist kept missing upcoming shows in the area because we were too busy to pay attention. Along came Tourfilter. A locally based website (now with worldwide reach) that allows us to take a look at upcoming shows based on the information provided by the venue.

Suggestions, of course, are always welcome – and since we first reported on them significant changes have been made to improve the site for the better.
