Okay I'm trying to gather a feed from a myspace band events/gig listing using http://makedatamakesense.com/myspace/event
then I'd like to turn these events into nodes using feedapi, and collect multiple artist feeds, placing them into a calendar format.
Has anyone tried this before or have experience creating events with feedapi?
Could I use one of these modules: Calendar, YUI Calendar, Event?
I've searched around and couldn't find any documentation about this.

Well maybe I don't need a full-on event node, but still someway to use the myspace event as a drupal-created one, with all the bells and whistles.. ;)
hCalendar
I made that MySpace event feed creator you're using and it includes standard hCalendar microformat markup, which should allow breaking up the event into individual components (location, date, description, etc.). I don't know Drupal very well, but a lot of feed readers can already import hCalendar events into calendars, so if there's not already a Drupal module to do it, someone should write one. That said, if there's some other formatting that would make it easier for you to import, let me know and I'll look at adding it.
