I'm creating an online database of tips and tricks meant to help independent bands plan their tours (Who has the cheapest vans for rental?; What venues should you avoid?; What venues treat bands well?; What truck stops have the cleanest restrooms?; Where in each town is there good, local, cheap food near the highway instead of the typical "Waffle House" shit?; etc.). There is so much useful information out there that, as of now, you can only learn yourself by doing extensive touring and playing out. Ask any band that's done some touring and they'll all have really useful tips and suggestions as to how to do it as successfully as possible. Every band's experience is different. This would be a great place to collect all of that useful information for all bands to share.
Only thing is I can't come up with a great name for it. Any suggestions?

Yeah, something like "band-aid" would be perfect.
I think the tagline for the site will be:
"The Expanse Companion"
... if that helps at all.

The Expanse Companion sounds a bit ambiguous.
Make it something like
"The best band member you ever have"more descriptive...

make it a play on words of 'sex drugs & rock n' roll', I don't know, 'treks, trucks & clean hotels' or something. Or 'Gaffa tape'! not sure what it's called in the us but it's that chunky black tape that's the most important object on a tour, (literally) holds everything together. Great idea for a site btw, good luck...

duct tape, it's called in the states. and that'd be a great name.

Well, there's a big difference between Duct Tape and Gaffer's Tape. Gaffer's Tape is much more suited for a musician's life. Duct Tape is used more often, though, because it's far less-expensive.
Gaffer's Tape:
Duct Tape:
Gaffer's Tape is much nicer and stronger.

ha! that's crazy. i always thought that the only difference was the colour and that it was called gaffer's tape over here and duct tape in the states. good to know.
