Pollstar, a Songkick competitor, is a concert industry trade publication that also has a huge internet database. Portfolio
Essentials Technology Ian Hogarth, the CEO of Songkick, started the site with two friends who shared his frustration at finding concert information.
“Songkick gets listings information from promoters and ticket services, but also has its computers trawl for it around the web; last year Pollstar planted some dummy listings and saw them turn up on Songkick.”

“In spite of its ancient origins and utter simplicity, the tandoor produces startlingly sophisticated results, including smokey flatbreads that puff like pillows, and roasted meats of uncommon succulence.” Tandoor cooked naan with mushrooms is one of the delicacies served by Bukhara Grill in New York. Levy has made tandoors for numerous top restaurants.
