Cool!

There’s a new site for touring rock bands. It’s called OnlyVans.

Ah, I see what you did there.

Touring is hard, especially if you’re at the stage where you, your mates, your crew, and your gear are all stuffed into a van. This atmosphere can generate some interesting outcomes.

Enter Aaron Lecesne, the bass player for Starbenders. Running with a quip made after a show by the band’s singer, Kimi Shelther, Aaron went to work to create OnlyVans, which is, well, van site full of pictures of young musicians trying to make a go of it on the grassroots level.

In this case, it means how efficiently and cleanly can you load your van? He calls it “Gear Tetris.”

It’s a subscription site, but it’s cheap. Love it. Learn more at Hypebot.
