away, but at least one "less significant" band would "prepare the
audience" before they come. What is the term for such a band in english?
In my language we say "pre-band" but I guess this doesn't make any sense
in english.

I know you didn't ask for it, but the spanish term for that is 'banda 
soporte'.
