What's this?)
Within the response, several geographical parameters have been added that refer to the geolocation of the underlying venue of the event. These include latitude and longitude, as well as geocoding_precision, which specifies the precision to which the venue address could be found and geocoded, and also the geocoding_ambiguous parameter, which serves as a warning that the geocoding is likely to be erroneous.
Any venue that could not be geocoded at all will have blank values in the fields.

Also frontman of David Devant and His Spirit Wife.\r\n\r\nThe Lamy Brothers\r\nThe Lamy Brothers emerge from an age of dirty, dark and bitter repression in a fit of fire and brimstone religious fervour.
