And I've found that indieonthemove.com does a lot of what the OP mentioned, but on a much broader scale than just metal.

Thanks for the link!

And I've found that indieonthemove.com does a lot of what the OP mentioned, but on a much broader scale than just metal.

An underground community initiative where local bands in various countries can send in booking contact details for various venues and festivals.. so the idea is to make a giant cross-country list of all venues relevant so bands can easily book tours and stuff like that..
This will also become relevant for booking agencies, because if this keeps evolving, it's gonna get 100 times bigger than the agencies' own lists. Will it even put some of them out of business?

Local bands just add whatever is missing on the list. It's already huge and it's just a week old or something.

Anyway.. This is kinda big news I guess.
