There are two artists with the same name. How do I know which one is which?

Right now, there's no way to differentiate between two artists with the same name. Artist disambiguation is a problem we hope to solve in the future. Which means, in the meantime, the two artists will have to share the same artist page.
For those using Bandcamp, we can figure out a temporary fix to stop the wrong shows appearing on your Bandcamp pages, so just let us know your artist name in this thread, and where your band is from.

Hey, I'm a rap artist and my name is Deathwish. I'm having a show at Rocko's in New Hampshire come up on my page, and since I don't have any shows scheduled, I'm thinking it's some metal band or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

"The Outfit" from Denver, CO is getting show listings for "Outfit" from Liverpool on our bandcamp page again. These are the only upcoming shows for "The Outfit" at the moment:
January 29, with The Heroine at Lion's Lair, Denver CO
February 3, Faceman's Waltz at The Bluebird Theater, Denver CO-
Hi there,
I've fixed that up for you now:

For future reference, if you edit the incorrect concerts and enter the artist name as "Outfit (UK)", they'll be moved to the other band's page!

I'm also having problems with this issue. My band is Project, from Phoenix, AZ. Our bandcamp page has a listing that project is playing in Liverpool on Jan 14 - this is obviously some other band called Project. Can you fix it?

Hi Donna,

Hey Brooke...
Could you please separate us (Nonagon from Chicago-http://nonagonchicago.bandcamp.com/) from San Francisco's Nonagon. He's a swell guy but I think we need a little distance.
Thanks!-
Hi John, that's fixed up now!

Hi, I have a band called Resonators in the UK who are getting confused with a band called The Resonators in the states.
Given the prefix is there anyway you can differentiate the two so we can start using the songkick apps.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm performing under the name DJ Quest, from Tallinn, Estonia and I'm being confused with another artist with the same name from the states. Is there a way to differentiate us?
Thank you in advance,
Janno-
Hi Janno,
Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, we don't currently have any way to disambiguate between artists of the same name on Songkick, so for the time being you'll have to share the same page. Sorry about that! We're aware of the problem and hope to find a permanent solution soon.
For now, feel free to leave a note on event pages to specify which band is playing - you can do that by logging in to any Songkick account and clicking on the "Edit concert" link on the event page.
If you have any other questions or problems, let us know!

hello, my band is called Etiquette from New Jersey, and songkick is mixing us up with The Etiquette who are not from New Jersey. Could you please fix this asap? it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Alberto,
Unfortunately we have no way to disambiguate between artists of the same name on Songkick (our system treats "Etiquette" and "The Etiquette" as the same). However, if an event for the other band appears on your Bandcamp page, let us know and we can make a temporary fix for you.
Thanks!

Sorry for the slow response on this - what is the URL of your Bandcamp page so I can have a look?
Thanks!
