I got an e-mail from the folks behind BetterThantheVan.com and checked it out:

We wanted to make a very simple site that allows bands to meet fans and bands to meet bands for a practical purpose. You can join the site for free as either “offering a place…” or “needing a place…” to stay. Bands can search by location, age, weekend/weekday availability and few other options. People with places to offer can also search for bands who are looking.

So many bands are out there on shoestring budgets, we thought there need to be a way to connect them with people or other bands offering up their floor or couch. We’ve stayed in some great and not so great places while on tour, so we know it can be hit or miss. We figured people are fans of bands and bands become fans of other bands. If you give them all a place to meet each other under a common need, good things usually come of it.

Very, very cool concept. Whether you have a small spot on the floor worth sharing or are in need of a couch yourself, sign up here.
