About Us
The creators of this site include original members of the rock band ZELAZOWA, www.reverbnation.com/zelazowa. From 2006-2008, ZELAZOWA performed over 500 shows throughout the United States and Europe without the aid of a booking agent, manager, record label, or any other industry “professional.”
Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive and reliable music venue database on the web, by fostering a collaborative environment in which artists, fans, agents, labels, venues, and promoters post, rate, and review clubs from all across the U.S. for FREE.
While the site primarily functions as an open-source music venue database and tour booking resource, we strongly encourage users to create their own FREE online account to truly take advantage of the features and opportunities that our website offers.
Creating an Indie on the Move account provides members with the ability to:

The database that you now have access to contains the original notes and reference materials that ZELAZOWA compiled along their journey, as well as an up to date and continuously growing database of new music venues.
Venue Testimonials:
"I got all the open time slots filled because of you guys! Thanks sooooo much." - Mel - Talent Buyer for The Blue Cafe in Huntington Beach, CA
"Oh my god!" I have never gotten so many emails before. I filled a bunch of slots with some really good quality bands from Nashville, Minneapolis, Detroit, Austin, and New York." - Brian Bender - Talent Buyer for The Elbo Room in Chicago, IL
"My assistant discovered this site and I recently came to check it out. I'd love to know who runs this thing. It's the most accurate booking info for Portland clubs that I have ever seen. EXTREMELY current as well. I love it!" - Heather, Talent Buyer for Ash Street Saloon in Portland, OR
"It's great to know that you guys exist, and I KNOW the bands love having you as a valuable resource - we certainly do. And the fact that your service is free is even more amazing!" - Bash - Talent Buyer for The Juggling Gypsy in Wilmington, NC

Artist Testimonials:
"For us, there is absolutely no tour without Indie on the Move. I can't imagine a world before this essential tool and outstanding resource existed. Bryan, and the entire IOTM staff have saved us countless hours of research and work by making their site, time and advice readily available to us all. Thank you so much." - Justin Stang of Sideways Reign - Union, WA
"Indieonthemove.com is the booking resource for a DIY band in today's music scene." - Tyler Reardon of Semester Abroad
"You guys are awsome!!!! I'm telling everyone about this site. The new facebook between bands and venues!!! Thanks for giving back to the little guys!" - Adam Erickson of Red Letter Statement - Farmington, NY
"We've said it before, but we'll say it again. Indie on the Move is great. Any band looking to play outside of their local "Stinky's Pub" should use this website!" - Merlin - Sterfallixon, IL
"Indie on the Move is the best website to come along in awhile! I have already booked 5 shows in just one day!" - Addison Station - Manchester, CT
"I don't often take the time to give feedback for a service when I should, so I wanted to make sure that I let you know how great I think Indie On The Move is. I wish I had known about it sooner. We now have our summer tour of 30+ shows booked all independently, and largely due to your website. Indie On The Move was great for filling in open dates and finding places to play in areas of the country that are new to us. In booking past tours I have come across other websites that list music venues, but nothing as comprehensive, up to date, or easy to use as IOTM. We have found this site to be a priceless resource and though I'd love to share it with other artists, I'm tempted to let it remain the best kept secret of touring indie artists. Thanks for your service and I hope it continues to expand and develop." - Travis T of Eastern Sunz - Portland, OR
