Amid a Worldwide Concert Boom, ShowClix.com Takes its Live Music Search Engine Global
Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) January 15, 2008 -- While the North American concert industry slumped in 2007, other countries around the world saw their live music scenes flourish.

Amid this international concert boom, live music search engine and online ticketing company ShowClix.com today announced its global expansion.
