Question: What should I call my indie rock travel site?

I need a good name! I'm putting together a travel website focusing mainly on indie rock/nightlife/offbeat stuff to do in different cities, aimed mainly at 20-something travellers or anyone looking for live music or more alternative venues while they're travelling. What should I call it? It will have reviews of different venues, interviews with local bands, recommendations for restaurants, shopping, gay /lesbian venues, etc. The type of content would be similar to Bust magazine's travel guides, created through submissions (http://www.bust.com/letsgo/index.html) but more organized/consistent and more focused on live music. Any ideas? I want it to be memorable, fairly short, perhaps descriptive but it doesn't have to be.

sounds like a neat website. Is this geared more towards doing stuff on the cheap? I got the vibe that it would be used by people who were hitch-hiking, road-tripping, or spending a month on the road with a backpack, messenger bag and a greyhound bus pass. Backpack Almanac. Earplug. Indied (like indie, but pronounced indeed!). Ugh, now I know why I steered clear of Marketing. Good luck with the website!

It sounds pretty hipsterish, and hipsters love On the Road.

Travelesque. And boy do I have a domain name for you!

Seriously though, I like some of the names above, but the problem is that all of those domains are taken.

You could go with something like RoadieNotes (Available as a .com right this moment) which would imply travel, bands and music.

If all else fails, lemme know. I have access to a large portfolio of names. They won't be dirt cheap, but depending on the name I can probably make you a deal.

You seem to want to review the scene in various towns, correct? I recommend naming it along those lines. Scenester would be a good name, despite its negative connotations in many circles. Perhaps scenerific?
