FunTranscript
00:00These are my emergency M&Ms, just for everybody in the band's safety.
00:05Every night at the hotel we drag all of this into the hotel with us.
00:35Hi, I'm Destiny from Chi-Eye, and we're in Chicago right now on the last day of our tour.
00:41So I wanted to show you the van.
00:43It's pretty rainy right now, so maybe we go inside and I'll show you around.
00:49Alright, so this is where I usually sit in the passenger seat, passenger princess, Josh.
00:55He plays drums.
00:56Yeah.
00:57Hi Josh.
00:57This is actually his van that he just bought before this tour, so love him for that.
01:03Thank you, Josh.
01:05And he does a lot of driving.
01:07These are my emergency M&Ms, just for everybody in the band's safety that I have emergency
01:13M&Ms.
01:14Josh and I will be talking in the front and Emmerich will stick his head right here in the
01:20middle and join the conversation.
01:24It's really cute.
01:25We need to get one of those, like, dog gate separators so that it's fantastic.
01:30We don't go flying through the windshield.
01:34Right now we are actually on the last day of our tour, our very first ever tour with Ali
01:41Nicholas and Sir Echo, and I wanted to give you this poster, but here is the last show.
01:49Yeah, Chicago.
01:50And then we're about to go out again in a few weeks with our friend Sachi Six, so very excited
01:55about that.
01:55And that'll be on the west coast, but we won't be in this van for that.
01:58We're going to be sharing a van with them, which is great.
02:01Oh, and we have our band mascot Bucky, of course.
02:05A fan gave that to us at a show, which was super nice.
02:08For those of you who don't know, Bucky's is like, if Walmart was entirely a gas station,
02:15it's really hard to explain.
02:18It's just something that you have to experience.
02:21So if you're ever in the south, definitely go to a Bucky's.
02:23So I feel like we all split driving pretty evenly, and I listen to crazy different genres.
02:33So we'll listen to old country, we'll listen to rock, metal.
02:37I try to get Emrick to play Creed for a minute, and he says no and refuses to.
02:43It sucks, but when I'm driving, we're playing Creed.
02:46Or we'll be watching a movie in the back and playing it throughout the van.
02:50So we watched Angry Birds and Flushed Away.
02:56I swear we're adults.
02:58I'm just an animation fan.
02:59There's any, like, bee movie.
03:03I scroll reels while I drive right here.
03:05No, he doesn't.
03:06No, he doesn't.
03:08No, he doesn't.
03:09I don't do it.
03:11Oh yeah, talk about the car bomb.
03:14This thing, I actually installed this for my friend back, like, ten years ago.
03:19He was taking this exact van on Warped Tour with his band.
03:23And so I installed this, like, power converter with an auxiliary battery.
03:28And I did it when I was 19.
03:30So it's super sketchy, and it makes, like, a hissing noise.
03:34Like, it might make...
03:35Oh no, we're good.
03:37When you turn it off, it makes a crazy sound.
03:38There we go.
03:39Yeah, there it is.
03:40Sometimes it, like, messes with the radio, and it's like...
03:43I was very young when I did it, so...
03:45Oh my god.
03:46We call it the car bomb.
03:48I wanna live.
03:51But it's safe, I promise.
03:53I just bought this before this tour.
03:56It's, like, a $30 camera from Walmart.
03:58And it shoots really cool, bad video.
04:02You know, bad and a good way.
04:04So we've been trying to document, you know, the tour.
04:07And then I have this Moleskine notebook that I write in after every show.
04:13And I put, like, the, you know, little memento from the show.
04:18I haven't filled in some of these, but I try to keep a little something from every show that we
04:22play.
04:22And then I write about it, and how I felt about, you know, the performance, and the people that I
04:28interacted with, and highlights.
04:31So, that's been really sweet.
04:33Yeah, and then in the middle here I've got my, like, duffel bag that is entirely just vocal health stuff.
04:39So we've got, like, lozenges, and elixirs, and every vitamin that you could possibly take.
04:45And, like, my nebulizer, and my vocal steamer, and a thing of honey.
04:50And I think the most difficult thing about touring has been keeping my voice, you know.
04:58So, it's very important to prioritize vocal health on the road.
05:02And I'm still learning how to do that, but we're fine.
05:06Hi, Emre.
05:07Hi.
05:09This is Emre.
05:09He plays guitar.
05:11I play guitar.
05:14Emre usually sits in the middle here, and will play much better music than Josh and I play.
05:24Yeah, but it's pretty crammed back here because we don't have a trailer on this run, so all of our
05:31gear and stuff is just piled in the back with us.
05:33And thankfully we're not sleeping in the van on this tour.
05:37We've been doing hotels every night, which has been nice.
05:39But we kind of just have to put our feet wherever there is room.
05:44So, I feel like Emre has it worse with that.
05:46Yeah, I mean, I make it work.
05:48I mean, it's just kind of, I just drop everything here and lay down with my seatbelt on for sure.
05:56Um, yeah, I just, I got like the, uh, I got the go bag.
06:00It's got shirts and bags in the bag and hats and my laptop and everything I could need.
06:06Um, got some, got some strings.
06:09Oh yeah, some foam.
06:10Mixed for a nice pillow.
06:12It doubles as a flotation device.
06:16Drive off the bridge.
06:18Yeah, it's just, uh, it's a lot of, uh, yeah, uh, laying down and scrolling Instagram reels.
06:25It's my favorite, uh, pastime.
06:28What is it?
06:29Oh yeah, uh, we played Mahals a couple days ago and I got a little haul of vinyl.
06:34What's the haul?
06:34I got, uh, some fiddlehead, starting line, obviously, and then two Joyce Manor.
06:42Oh, sick.
06:43I didn't know you got those.
06:44Those are so cool.
06:45Oh yeah.
06:45I saw them all and I had to, I had to pick them up.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Sick.
06:49Mahals was cool.
06:50And then last night we played, um, Sanctuary and, uh, in Detroit.
06:54And that was awesome.
06:56Really cool venues on this run.
06:58And then back here we have Sam.
07:00Hey guys.
07:00He also plays guitar.
07:02Rhythm guitar.
07:03And, uh, he is joining us on this run from...
07:08Milwaukee.
07:09Yup.
07:09I always want to say Michigan and Minnesota, one of the M cities.
07:13I always get it mixed up.
07:14It's all the same stuff.
07:15Milwaukee, I think, cause I've heard it's really cool.
07:18Um, yeah.
07:19Yeah.
07:19Shots out.
07:20Not a lot goes on back here.
07:21Lots of Instagram reels.
07:24And, uh...
07:25We're a reels band.
07:26We're a reels band.
07:26We're a reels band.
07:28I drink some of these, uh, mineral waters that we picked up in Michigan yesterday.
07:34They're okay.
07:35They're fine.
07:36Yeah, they're fine.
07:37Turns out they're sparkling and we did not realize they were sparkling.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Did not intend on that.
07:42But, yeah.
07:43Just a lot of sleeping back here, honestly.
07:46I think Sam and I get the most car sick, so...
07:49Oh, yeah.
07:50Lots of Dramamine.
07:50Lots of Dramamine.
07:52Yeah.
07:52Between the two of us.
07:53Yeah.
07:53And then back here is where we pile all of our gear.
08:03Right now a lot of our gear is in the venue.
08:05We already sound checked, so a lot of it's inside.
08:07But usually this is like...
08:08We have figured out the perfect amalgamation of how to arrange everything so that it fits.
08:13Um, and yeah, it's just like extra merch in boxes and then our gear back here.
08:20And, um, yeah.
08:22So every night at the hotel we drag all of this into the hotel with us.
08:27And, um, that's been working pretty well for us.
08:30We'll have to figure out what we're going to do later this year.
08:33We're going on a seven week tour, which is going to be pretty intense for us.
08:36And I've never done anything like that.
08:38So, we'll have to get a trailer and maybe sleep in the van.
08:42And I don't know. We'll figure it out.
08:43But it's been really fun and cool and I love it so far.
08:47So, definitely want to do more of it.
08:49Yeah.
08:50We are going on tour again later this year with Sleeping With Sirens.
08:54Which is absolutely insane that I get to say that out loud.
08:58I cannot believe it.
09:00So, if you are in the U.S. and want to come see us, please come.
09:05The Sleeping With Sirens shows we're playing all over the country.
09:07And, uh, outside of that, uh, please follow us on all social media.
