The Windish Agency teams with Songkick
The day has finally come – the day The Windish Agency can announce our unique partnership with Songkick. The dominating, London-based live music destination on the web brings fans and artists together, and they’ve made some amazing strides to not only grow the artist-to-fan relationship but also simplify the process. Making our artists’ lives easier and reaching fans where they congregate is a huge focus for us, and Songkick has created some of the best solutions around.
Songkick is launching Tourbox, a suite of publishing tools for artists designed to help musical acts of any size manage their tour dates across the web. Songkick has been focused on helping live-music fans track their favorite artists so they never miss a live show again. They’ve built a huge distribution network, including exclusive deals with Hype Machine, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, Facebook and others to make sure that fans can find out the latest concert information for the artists they like, right where they are listening to their music. Enter once, publish everywhere.
“Songkick was a clear choice as a first partner in the direct-to-fan space for us," said The Windish Agency President Tom Windish. "Through Songkick’s extensive network of partners and their new tools, the lives of our artists are greatly simplified, and their shows get incredible promotion on the channels where people listen to music and discover concerts. We see this as just a start to our work with Songkick."
Songkick has created a tailored plug-in just for The Windish Agency's roster and website and can now be found on each artist page on our official site. Many of our artists have already begun utilizing the full suite of tools offered by the company, including M83, Gotye, Art Vs Science and Cloud Nothings.
Songkick CEO Ian Hogarth commented, “We’ve worked closely with innovative, U.S.-based booking group, The Windish Agency during our beta phase. Using the uniquely developed plug-in we built for the Windish site, their agents immediately understood the huge opportunity this represents for their roster of touring artists. They provided useful input along the way to help shape this into a killer tool for musicians.”
To celebrate the partnership, Songkick has compiled a mixtape with 100 of their favorite songs from The Windish Agency's roster. Enjoy!
