Use TweetLouder to Find Your Favorite Bands on Twitter

Part of the fun of Twitter is being able to connect with people that otherwise seem inaccessible: actors, authors, musicians, and other typically-out-of-reach people often manage their own Twitter accounts, allowing fans an otherwise hidden glimpse into their world.

Part of the fun of Twitter is being able to connect with people that otherwise seem inaccessible: actors, authors, musicians, and other typically-out-of-reach people often manage their own Twitter accounts, allowing fans an otherwise hidden glimpse into their world. And if you're a music fan, a new service from SonicLiving makes it easy to find bands that you love on Twitter.

TweetLouder uses your iTunes, Pandora, Last.fm, or SonicLiving information to determine your favorite bands, and then finds them on Twitter, prompting you to follow them. If SonicLiving has tour information for the bands, there's a quick link to view upcoming shows, too.

The service is extremely simple and easy to use, and it's fast — you can find most of your favorite bands in under a minute and quickly follow them. Or, if you're worried about too many musicians crowding your feed, create a dedicated Twitter List to keep them all in one place.

Oh, I know there's an unholy amount of music websites and services online (I think I've written about a few . . .), so I'm a little bit more conservative now about both highlighting and getting sucked into a new service. Thankfully, Sonic Living took the notion of there being so much music-related web stuff and ran with it: It's a website that syncs your bands and likes from iTunes and Last FM and lets you know when a concert is coming up or alerts you of any breaking news and pictures from Flickr photostreams of your "wishlist" bands.

Like almost any new website, there's a social network aspect involved, but it's pretty useful in this case, as you can share upcoming concerts with the friends you'd like to attend it with. Sonic Living is like a one-stop shop for all your favorite music services — you can even add concerts to your calendar and buy tickets with one click from Sonic Living!
