00:00So Mikey is a little bit of a maniac. He likes to listen to lo-fi beats along with Brendan

00:03as well.

00:04The rule is to not put anything too smelly in there because no one wants to deal with fish or

00:08anything like that.

00:35Hey, what's going on? This is Aker and James from Set for Tomorrow and we are on our first US

00:39tour with Dark Divine and Nine of Space.

00:42Let's check out the spaceship.

00:44Welcome to the front of the van. This is the driver's seat, of course, and our primary driver at night

00:48is Brendan, our bassist.

00:50We usually do it in shifts if we have longer drives, so it'll be like Brendan, then it'll be Mikey,

00:55then it'll be Sean, and then myself, and we'll just kind of rotate it in and out.

00:57As you can see, this is the front of the vehicle. We have a lot of medication and things like

01:03vitamin C, hand sanitizer, tissues.

01:05We've been pretty sick on this tour, so we've needed a lot of that to keep us through it.

01:10Yeah, this is the insurance right here to make sure that we're not shaking hands after someone doesn't wash their

01:14hands.

01:15It's very important, very important. Hygiene is very important to us.

01:19Alright, so co-pilot responsibilities. I play passenger princess a lot.

01:23My job is usually to be paired up with Mikey when he's driving, and we usually just listen to podcasts

01:30and strange stories in the middle of the night.

01:33Stuff that keeps you awake that would probably give you nightmares, but it helps, you know?

01:37You've got to make sure you keep him awake.

01:38Keep him on his toes, so yeah.

01:41So Mikey is a little bit of a maniac. He likes to listen to lo-fi beats, along with Brendan

01:45as well.

01:46I don't know how they do it that would put me asleep, but that's some of their main tracks when

01:49on the road and trying to focus.

01:51I need something a bit more upbeat, unfortunately, when I'm driving at night.

01:55Yeah, I'm all over the place. I have to, the lo-fi beats definitely have me start nodding out in

01:59the front seat, for sure.

02:00I don't know how they do it, but I guess it helps them walk in and focus, so whatever works,

02:04as long as we get there in one piece.

02:06Yeah, so right here we've got an AC unit. It's just AC, so no heat.

02:10Often we do, you know, tours and it gets really hot in the van with six people or so.

02:14So we need to, you know, of course, keep it cool at night to make sure that we can actually

02:17sleep.

02:18In the winter, though, we just use it for moving air around. There's pipes back here as well.

02:22We can angle in certain directions and help us all stay cool and warm.

02:25Welcome to the middle. This is, uh, this is where it was mostly our living space.

02:29We've got our, well, we've got our mini fridge, which, um, the rule is to not put anything too smelly

02:35in there,

02:35because no one wants to deal with fish or anything like that. That's crazy.

02:39Yeah. And then back here we have our wonderful sweet beds.

02:44Yeah, we got two up top, two in the middle, one on the bottom.

02:46And our, unfortunately, our content, our crew person has to sleep on the bench,

02:49because we don't have enough space, unfortunately.

02:52There it is. There it is. For the bottom. So, yeah.

02:56We got all the bunks that we needed, and it was a pretty big build.

02:58I've got to give a shout-out to Cobretti Bardoli from SinkIn.

03:01He helped us make this thing what it is.

03:03Obviously, the fridge has, you know, and everything else has to have some power,

03:07so it's kind of hard to see, but we've got, like, two batteries underneath of it all.

03:10We've got solar panels on the top. We've got an inverter and everything to make it all happen

03:14and give us power, like that power outlet right there.

03:17We've got a bunch throughout the bunks as well, so everybody can charge their phones,

03:20charge their laptops, whatever they need through the tour.

03:23All right. So, we've been getting a lot of stickers, whether it's from Thriller

03:26or from some of the other bands that we've toured with, and we wanted to really deck it out.

03:30Some of these I actually got from my wife as well.

03:32I thought they were pretty funny, so we wanted to deck out the fridge a bit.

03:35So, we've obviously got a lot of real estate left, so we're going to fill it out the best we

03:38can.

03:38But let's actually look on the inside. Unfortunately, we are very disorganized when it comes to this fridge

03:44because we don't have a lot of space, so it's kind of where things fit.

03:47I have, like, my breakfast oats right here.

03:49Mikey's got a half-eaten Reese's bar. He loves Reese's, by the way.

03:52And a couple energy drinks, beer, maybe some vegetables in there that we have left over.

03:58So, trying to keep it filled with some necessities, but, yeah, we don't have a lot of space in it,

04:03unfortunately.

04:04Well, every van needs a trash can, of course, so we've got a little small trash can for anything we

04:08need along the way.

04:09No food, of course.

04:10We've got a humidifier because we noticed that, at night, we've been, on these cold nights,

04:14we've been waking up with really sore, dry throats.

04:16We definitely need that to make sure we're at our best when singing.

04:19I've got some protein right here after the gym.

04:22Now we kind of see a little bit more of the technical side of things.

04:25We've got the inverter that basically converts all of the battery power to basically AC.

04:30So, we have all the AC outlets, if you can maybe see in the bunks on the back side.

04:35Yeah, in the back right and back left, there's a couple outlets.

04:39Everybody's got their own.

04:40So, that's what powers it all.

04:41Same thing with the fridge.

04:42We've got a kettle down here, mostly for like tea or like, you know, boiling some water.

04:46And then in the back, we actually got the batteries, which we got two of them to help power it

04:50all.

04:50So, a normal drive for us, usually our content person or whoever's the extra is going to have to give

04:57up a little bit of their real estate to everybody else.

04:59And we all do some work on the road.

05:02I'll do some design stuff.

05:02Mikey does some mixing stuff, Brandon does photography stuff.

05:05So, it's usually laptop central from here forward.

05:08Everyone's sitting here with their laptops out, iPad, whatever it may be.

05:11And that's usually the walk-in for most of the drive, I would say, if no one's napping.

05:15Yeah, and I'll be in the bunks sometimes just chilling right here with my laptop bouncing because I can't keep

05:20it straight because the vehicle's moving.

05:21But I'll be trying to work as well.

05:23Yeah.

05:24Alright.

05:25Alright, so this is...oh no.

05:27I got it.

05:28This is the back side of the bunks.

05:30As I mentioned, we've got some power outlets for everybody.

05:33Obviously, we've got some stuffed animals, pillows, some additional workout equipment or workout supplements, that is.

05:39Yeah, pretty straight forward.

05:40Got our bunks.

05:41Sean's got the coolest stickers and stuff down here.

05:43You've got the Jutsu Kaisen Panda and Charmander.

05:48Yeah, Charmander.

05:49Pretty sweet.

05:49Yeah.

05:50And if you've noticed, we also have these reflecties cut out, put onto all of our windows.

05:56One of it kind of helps keep in heat, also keeps heat out.

06:00Yeah, so it blocks out the sun, so it helps out when the first thing in the morning, if you

06:03want to crash and sleep in a little bit.

06:05The other part of that is...well, we have stickies that we'll pull off the side, too, so we can get

06:10some scenic views.

06:11Yeah, so they do come off if we need to, and they're blind spots and stuff.

06:14But yeah, mostly multi-purpose for insulation and also keeping up the sun, like Aker said.

06:19Thank you guys so much for hanging out with us.

06:20We are set for tomorrow.

06:21You can check out all our stuff on our website, sftofficial.com.

06:26Yep, and if you want to catch us live, we're also going to be playing Louder Than Life, which is

06:30super sick.

06:31It's going to be our first official festival that we're on, so it's going to be freaking awesome.

06:35Thank you guys so much for hanging out.

06:37Thanks.

06:37Yeah.

06:38You.

06:51You.

06:58You.

07:00We'll see you next time.
