Roadshow vs Bandzoogle
Bandzoogle is a website builder built specifically for musicians, running since 2003. Roadshow builds a musician a website, a press kit, a fan list and gig invoicing from a description of the act. They overlap, but they are not the same tool, and which one is right depends on what you are actually trying to do.
