RIGHTEOUS PURSUIT: MAY 2006 - MAY 2007. Gone, not forgotten. Motivated by a huge gap in available resources for bands with the will but not the way.
RighteousPursuit
Three funny fuckers with a bunch of practical touring experience and a huge network of more fuckers with more practical experience, and some mad skills with words and computers put this together for y'all.
You get your head in the game; we've brought you the knowledge, the rules, the systems, and the bloody clubs. There's a "Textbook" with a lot of organizational and practical advice. There's the Venues database with every appropriate and approachable club in the continental US, with all pertinent info, verified and updated. There's kicking functionality towards getting an organizational structure in place and keeping it that way, from start to finish. We've provided "Tools": downloadable, customizable contracts, riders, basic tour poster, and mailing list templates available for you towards making sure your tour is for real.
Getting in the game is good. Playing well is better. Avoiding injury is great. We've added a lot of information about the venues in every instance we can offer it from both practical and opinion aspects towards improving your odds. There are basic available media outlets available for the main touring destination cities so you can do basic promotional support. The tours functionality includes distance calculations towards making sure you avoid risky drives, painful poverty by gas costs, and stay on schedule. There's status, tracking, documenting, and printer friendly options so you can stay on top of what's up and keep it all together, for this one, and optimally, the one after. Live to play again.
We even put together a little "Tour" of the site for you if you're intrigued

The Righteous Pursuit collective is big on community. The touring community is hilarious, reckless, and huge. We've been sure to add a Righteous Pursuit forum so you can communicate with other bands about all kinds of stuff, exchange information and resources, and/or find the closest pharmacy in Billings on a Sunday.
We also think that there's a great deal of inspiration and wisdom to be gained from the dudes and dudettes out there all up in it. So, what the hell, we spend a lot of time chasing them around, making them talk to us, and taking pictures. Funny, sad, smart, wicked awesome – The "Warriors".

The Righteous Pursuit is about touring. It's about getting your band on tour in an informed and organized style. It's not about just doing it, it's about doing it well. It's about you doing it yourself at the end of the day. After a lot of years and a vast amount of frontline action with the ever-changing nature of touring, we've built this place for you to do the work and go on tour. THAT is what we're about.
