00:00If somebody puts something on, I probably will hate it.

00:03And I'll kick my shoes off and take my pants off.

00:07I go hard on granola, so there's like crumbs everywhere.

00:30All right, Paul Ledney here, Pro Fanatica, and we are on the Wreaths and Dead Angels Tour.

00:42And this is our third night.

00:44We're in Chicago.

00:45So far, pretty good.

00:48Our tour manager, Nate, right now drives.

00:52And normally, because he's checked out on it, he's the tour manager, he's the driver.

00:57And I'll basically sit in the front seat.

01:01So the rule is that I have is no loud music after the gig.

01:06We need to just kind of chill.

01:08And everybody's hyped up.

01:10I get it.

01:11Everybody's on a high for after the show.

01:13But I just want to chill.

01:15And it's kind of hard for me to get everybody to chill normally.

01:22So what I'll do is I'll quietly send texts saying I'm sleeping.

01:27And they'll stop for a couple of minutes.

01:30We try to drive an hour each way in the direction that we're going for the next stop.

01:36So normally, Nate will use headphones.

01:40And I encourage everybody to use their own headphones because, to be honest, I'm old school.

01:45And if somebody puts something on, I probably will hate it.

01:49So I have my own stuff on.

01:52And since I'm doing drums and vocals every night, the less talking I do, the better.

01:59So we have, like, a constant flow of ice water in our cooler here.

02:05And you'll see, like, Nate will drink these Celsius.

02:09There was a plant up here that was kind of, in my opinion, unauthorized.

02:13But it got put there anyway.

02:15And you'll see a lot of, like, crumbs on the floor and dip.

02:21That's from me.

02:22And I kind of get in trouble.

02:24I'll show you this.

02:25It's kind of disgusting.

02:26But this is, like, my spit cup.

02:29And I'm kind of, like, always dipping.

02:32And nobody likes it.

02:34But I kind of need it.

02:36I need constant black tea, dip, and crumbs.

02:41I'm big in...

02:41I go hard on granola.

02:43So there's, like, crumbs everywhere.

02:45And to be honest, like, a normal metalhead, you would think, they don't care about crumbs.

02:50They do.

02:50Nobody likes it.

02:51They want it, like, clean.

02:52And the other thing I do is, I only do this on the road, is I have, like, bags.

02:58They're all inside now.

02:59But I'll have, like, bags full of dip.

03:02My wallet's in there.

03:03I'll have another bag full of, like, black tea, more dip, my phone.

03:08So it's...

03:10One thing I could say is, like, there's...

03:12We just keep receipts in here.

03:15But there's no glove box over there.

03:17So I just keep everything on the floor with me.

03:20All right.

03:20So, I don't know.

03:21I want to show you this.

03:22This is, like, the remnants.

03:23This was covered, just so everybody knows, in dip spit on, like, the first day.

03:28I felt weird about asking Nate to stop because we just stopped to go to the bathroom.

03:33So I tried to spit out going, like, 60 on the highway.

03:37And it didn't work.

03:39But he didn't notice it right away.

03:40I kept it from him.

03:42And this is, like, my...

03:44Where I sit normally.

03:45So, my setup, I'll have, like, all my bags here and just empties.

03:52And when I'm done with stuff, I like to just throw it on the floor.

03:55And I'll kick my shoes off and take my pants off.

04:00And actually, I'll show you my boots.

04:05Let's see.

04:05I just put waters in here.

04:06These are some badass 511 tacticals, which I bring on every tour and never wear.

04:15Because normally, I don't wear pants.

04:18It's, like, so hot.

04:19So, I'll just either, like, go in underwear or shorts.

04:23And it seems to work.

04:25So, the charging situation is, uh, this is, like, an adapter.

04:30It's going to, I think I see, uh, like, two things.

04:34So, it's, like, uh, most of the band uses iPhone.

04:39And then, uh, two of the crew use Samsung.

04:41So, we have that covered.

04:44So, this thing, Richard will actually do work on his laptop.

04:49And, uh, do, do some writing.

04:53And then, here, if you look under here, these are more shoes.

04:56I got everybody hooked on these black deck shoes.

04:59Because they're kind of, like, you could wear them with pajamas or shorts.

05:02It doesn't matter.

05:03I usually wear them for drumming.

05:06This is one of the chargers.

05:08My hoodie back here, custom made.

05:12This is some more dip.

05:15Um, these are empties.

05:17So, yeah, this is what it looks like.

05:19So, two people will sit here.

05:21Um, our merch person.

05:24And then, uh, somebody will, like, rest back there.

05:28So, it's, like, it's not bad.

05:31There's plenty of room.

05:32And the back is, like, all merch and gear.

05:35Usually, everybody's on their phone.

05:37And there's not, I try to rest in the front and sleep.

05:40There's not a lot of sleeping going on.

05:42Today, there was.

05:43Because we were kind of, uh, second show.

05:45Got out late.

05:46Um, but it's usually just people with their own individual headphones in listening to stuff.

05:54Basically, like, if somebody needs something, it's usually me.

05:57Because I, I need to keep stopping to use the restroom.

06:01Because, like, once I, once we start the tour, it's constant water flow.

06:05And I have to hydrate for the next day coming up.

06:08So, it's that, that type of situation.

06:10But, uh, everybody's pretty quiet.

06:12So, back here is where we have our merch set up.

06:19And, see, that says no.

06:22A lot, like, those are staying.

06:25So, we'll have boxes marked that say yes or no.

06:29And, uh, these are some racks.

06:31Tonight, they had racks.

06:32So, we like to bring these.

06:34That's some, like, extra stock back there.

06:37And, uh, somebody's sandals.

06:39Uh, I don't know anything about that.

06:42Again, that's unauthorized.

06:44Just like the plant.

06:45And they try to hide it from me.

06:48After our tour manager, Nate, and, uh, our merch girl, Claire,

06:54will stack the merch and do that kind of Tetris game.

06:58And, uh, I'm not good at that at all.

07:01It takes, it's kind of hard for me, to be honest, to, uh, back up.

07:05Uh, because, uh,

07:06like, concentration, I'm, like, not in that mode.

07:11It's hard for me to answer questions.

07:12So, I'll, like, pack my stuff up and just, like, put it back here.

07:16There's, like, a certain order.

07:18They like to do the merch first and put that away.

07:20And then the gear.

07:21And then, like, our personal bags.

07:23All right.

07:24So, uh, check out Provenautica Official Instagram.

07:27And, uh, try to catch us on all the upcoming dates.

07:31We're doing updates.

07:32So, you'll be able to see the new flyers for each city.

07:35And, uh, again, we're supporting the Wreaths and Dead Angels,
