The problem here is just adding anonymized (so international traveling bands aren't stopped at customs) tour schedules to something like bandcamp won't do. Music is generally served on some type of forum, that's how it grows and permeates. For me, the ever-aging metal/punk/hardcore scenes are fairly present on facebook- the older crowd stays because they have jobs to worry about and are technophobic/terrible at computers (mostly). The younger crowd is the innovative one, and tries new things. Currently a bunch of friends are all leaving facebook and I'm a crotchity old 30-something being like "well ralph where the fuck am I going to find your tour schedule?" There's been every sort of private forum for these things city by city and the problem is basically the drama that comes with it, that's why people like facebook because the architecture of conversations is so spread out you can avoid something that would otherwise get someone trolling. I guess its something to really respect about the service is its ability to have so many people with such public opinions online and friends with each other. That's what you need for stuff like music related tours/bands/etc, professional circles where all sorts of people come together, school programs (me.. night school MBA), etc.
