00:00What's up? I'm Soren from New Politics and I'm going to give you a little tour of what we are touring in.
00:17This is a beautiful van from rocket ships and it looks very much like what we used to tour in, but it's not.
00:26So check this out.
00:30This is where you drive. It's very funky.
00:42I drive all the time. This is what I do. I drive the band and I play guitar and I take and everything.
00:49It's actually not true. I can't even drive. I don't have a license.
00:52But we usually just switch drivers and our crew guys are awesome so they drive the most.
01:02So this is our lounge area, which is pretty awesome because the old van didn't have this area.
01:08And actually, whenever you drive 10 hours, it can be a really, really long drive.
01:14Just the fact that we can sit here and we have two TVs so we can watch movies or whatever.
01:20And we have lightsabers just in case some badass Sith comes by and he needs some whooping.
01:34We got some lightsabers. And yeah, this is our lounge area. There's a little kitchen.
01:44I am your father.
01:54All right, we got a little kitchen area here.
01:56It's not much, but we have a microwave.
01:58We have a microwave.
01:59We've never used it.
02:00We've actually never used it.
02:01Yes, you have.
02:02I used it.
02:03I actually heated up a bun because it was too dry.
02:05Then did it work?
02:06And then I took it out afterwards and realized it was green so I threw it out.
02:10So it has this theoretically never been used.
02:12We have a little freezer.
02:14That gets used.
02:15A little fridge.
02:16Gets used a lot for very important stuff like whiskey.
02:18For my raw almond coke.
02:20Sandwiches, stuff.
02:25Oh my God, that's gross.
02:27It's pretty gross.
02:29The most important thing on this bus that everyone is forgetting to mention is baby wipes.
02:34That gets us through.
02:35This is the only thing that gets us through the weeks and the days.
02:41It helps our hygiene.
02:44Most importantly, we all...
02:45I don't know if it helps our hygiene, but hey, it does something good.
02:48It does something.
02:49You can make some really wet paper planes out of it, too.
02:53They won't fly far, but they look funny.
02:56And they taste really bitter.
02:58Yeah, you do.
02:59But...
03:00You can buy it, you can eat it.
03:01Then we have, back here, our bunks.
03:05What are...
03:06And we have a...
03:08They're pretty awesome, actually.
03:11And...
03:12Really comfortable.
03:14And there's something about when you're on tour that you wake up, you know.
03:17It's actually different, because you wake up right next to the venue, and you're kind of already in the mood.
03:23So it's pretty awesome.
03:24And then we have a hotel that we rotate, so whenever two people sleep in the hotel, usually, and then we can shower and stuff.
03:32So this is pretty much it.
03:33It's pretty awesome, actually.
03:35This is usually our crew.
03:38He sleeps, switches around here when whoever is driving, the other one is here.
03:43This one here in the middle is Louis, who is his first pick.
03:47So that one is Louis.
03:49It's like comfy in the middle.
03:51He feels warm, and we're all around him.
03:53This one down here is a junk bunk.
03:55So...
03:56I don't know if you want to film in there.
03:58It's pretty chunky.
03:59There's a lot of stuff.
04:01And...
04:02This is our tour manager, because he's a bigger guy.
04:05And then this is actually me, so I'm one of the lucky guys who got an asphalt.
04:13Look here, I even have the U-Q.
04:16It's my little place.
04:18Yeah, this is it.
04:19So here, this is everyday our tour manager hangs up these things.
04:23This is our day shoot.
04:24Saying that tomorrow we're going back to New York.
04:29And...
04:31Today...
04:32Hey, wait a second.
04:33We have an interview with Josh from Boston Data.
04:37Here it says.
04:38At 5.30.
04:39What time is it?
04:40What time is it?
04:41What time is it?
04:42What time is it?
04:43It's 4.40.
04:44Well, it's actually 4.
04:45It's because we didn't change the time.
04:46We didn't change the time.
04:47That's not cool.
04:48That's a bad tour manager.
04:50No.
04:51Alright, so this is...
04:53Day sheet for here.
04:57I have no idea.
04:58Oh, that's the uproar day sheet.
05:00As you can see, we look at this all the time.
05:02Yeah.
05:03This one is set times.
05:04And here's our set list for today.
05:06So...
05:07Can I get to you on Thursday?
05:08He's very on...
05:09He's very on organized.
05:10He's very organized.
05:11Our tour manager is very organized.
05:13And it's really awesome because we are not.
05:15So...
05:16Yeah, that's it.
05:17And we have this...
05:18This thing here I'm actually going to show you.
05:22I'm going to let Luis...
05:23I'm going to let Luis do this one.
05:25One second.
05:26This is really funny.
05:27This is...
05:28Can we turn this off?
05:29These are our...
05:30This is our cruise radios.
05:31And I like to do this.
05:33Oh, they're all in here, dude.
05:34Oh, they're all in here?
05:35Yeah, well that's good.
05:36So that no one doesn't spread around to everybody.
05:40Which one is it?
05:41Right here, right here.
05:42That one's...
05:43Come on, bro.
05:44This is really funny.
05:45Take this situation.
05:46But it's off.
05:47It should take...
05:49Oh, they're all in here.
05:51Otherwise, it would have been really funny.
05:53Okay, try it.
05:54Alright, here we go.
05:55So this is what...
05:56This is how we mess with the crew.
05:58Should I do that then?
05:59Um...
06:01Uh...
