OnlyVans is a new subscription-powered fan site built by Aaron Lecesne, bassist for Starbenders, who are currently on a headlining European tour promoting their latest full-length record, The Beast Goes On.
The idea came from an offhand joke by frontwoman Kimi Shelter one night after a show. Lecesne built the site that same night.
The van-porn pic collection follows the band as they trek across Europe and the UK, allowing fans to track their progress as young musicians (who probably played too much Tetris as kids) on the road, gleefully worshipping the craft of mastering gear packing. Their van is affectionately, and enticingly, referred to as The Beast.
Aaron Lecesne says:
"We get off on a good pack. Now everyone else can too."
OnlyVans operates through Starbenders' Discord server, automatically awarding subscribers roles that give them access to exclusive chats.
"Roadie" is a read-only feed of "the most satisfying gear packs on the planet" (per Aaron) and photos of our travels both in and out of the van. The Ride-Or-Die subscription allows users to send messages and chat with us as we make our way across Europe.
Check the band out on tour or simply visit OnlyVans to get a window into their world.
