Man, I've been wanting one of those for years. Even just searching for interesting concerts is a tedious chore on most sites. The lack of anything like this means I basically have a few favorite local venues, and I try to keep up with their programs. It's really not ideal.

There is a small site that maintains an event calendar for my city, oriented towards a certain subculture. That's by far the best thing I've seen for discovering new things to do.

I don't know if there's an actual business model in any of this. That's definitely the hard part. But it would be such a useful resource.

I'm curious, what site are you referring to?
Yeah I'm curious too. Did you try Zvents, the company mentioned in mrbirds link? Which city? I normally live in London where a big problem is filtering the events for the cool stuff as there's >1000 things/week. Never heard of Zvents before.
If you're in New York City and enjoy house, funk or soul music, I highly recommend DanceDeets[0] for a carefully curated list of events, some of which would be difficult to find otherwise.
