Fans and artists connect to make touring easier

If you're an indie artist trying to put together a tour on no budget you soon realise that a load of your budget gets blown on even the cheapest place to stay whilst on the road.

Whilst we and others like us are always trying to come up with the best tips for musicians, sometimes an idea comes along that is just brilliant and that we couldn't have thought of.

Better than the Van is one of those.

Hooking up fans and artists with floors to crash on and gigs to swap. Simple. Going through a revamp at the moment and US centric, it could do with all the support it can get if it is to become the awesome resource for touring indie bands that it deserves to be.

Having put bands on the road with no money for decades I know that this could make the difference for many bands between touring and getting a break and not being able to afford it. Please sign up if you're in a band or have a floor that a band can crash on!
