Your own, personal, song statistics!

Again, a new feature on setlist.fm. Requested by Jay some weeks ago, it's now online, and it's even fancier than expected:

Mark setlists as "attended" and see your concert and song statistics by artist and/or year. Here's how it works:

1. Add Gigs

Add gigs simply by adding you as attendee

2. View your statistics

Navigate to your profile and click on "Concerts" - there they are!

3. Compare with other users

Go to other users' profile and look what they attended. A highlighted artist means that both you and the other user attended a concert of this artist. If a concert is highlighted, you even attended the very same concert!

Have fun with the new stuff, digg your stats, stumble them, Show them to your friends and - most importantly - tell us what you think about it!

PS: also digg and stumble this entry to spread the news ;-)

MIA. in concert

After the relaxing but concertless holidays, the live performances are finally back - even in rural areas. One of the first bands coming back on stage in Austria was the very successful german band MIA. consisting of Bob (B), Gunnar (D), Ingo (G, KB), Andy (G) and Mieze (V). 

As part of their "Willkommen im Club" (=~ Join the Club) tour they started the 2009 leg in Hohenems/Austria. The band obviously had a lot of fun performing as they broke the 2 hours threshold - they played 23 songs including 3 encore sets. Another highlight of the show was when vocalist Mieze asked a fan (named "Heidi" - very fitting for a concert in the alps isn't it?) to join her on stage to dance the Viennese waltz, the most typical Austrian dance, with her.

Here's the setlist:

• MIA. setlist January 9, Hohenems, Austria
