This! Similar events is the only thing I miss about fbook.

I was told that an app / site "bandsNearMe" or something like that would replace.. but I don't think it's gets the smaller acts / DJs / events that I would really like to attend.

Meetup does a better job of notifying me. As long as people are going to use fbook to post about upcoming events it would be nice to have access to things coming locally, since I rarely use fbook I miss some good shows.

Bandsintown does seem to have the small acts, at least near me. It does send these obnoxious 20-character notifications/emails that will only let you read the actual message via their site though.
