RockStar Motel leaves beta today in the US, UK and Canada. The social network with game elements features a [fan signing band approach](https://www.hypebot.com/rockstar-motel-set-to-unveil-social-platform-for-promoting-artists-and-fans/) in which fans are encouraged to become superfans via in-network recognition.

[RockStar Motel](http://rockstarmotel.com/?ref=hypebot.com) is an innovative site with the core challenge ahead of reaching a critical mass of users who appreciate the opportunity to support musicians by promoting them within a social network setting. CEO Luca Sacchetti is hoping to unveil a platform that will directly connect fans and bands. It launches with sharper design than was initially evident at a time when design is of increasing importance.

RockStar Motel is now available for independent musicians to set up accounts and make their content available in-house. RockStar Motel is also launching with additional ways to feature musicians and fans.

A network feed across all accounts promotes new artist signups for a 24 hour period. A chart feature for superfans will promote top fans giving them additional recognition across the network.

RockStar Motel has also developed a new networking feature for public launch that draws on fan analytics and identifies fans that might be a good match for particular music acts. While RockStar Motel struck me as a company that was trying to find creative ways to limit spam, they also seem to be finding positive ways to connect people that might be a good fit.

RockStar Motel is an example of a [new platform for promoting music](https://www.hypebot.com/music-aggregation-business-models-move-from-building-features-to-growing-platforms/) that faces formidable challenges with a great deal of growth potential if successful.
