Im interested in the touring lifestyle...When you guys go on a tour four a few weeks or a month, do you have your own van/trailer? How big is it? Do you sleep in it every night? Do you ever get a chance to shower? What do you eat, or do you not eat to save money? Details!

I imagine that they eat.... :rolleyes:

Yeah, what i mean is do they indulge, or do they eat sparingly to save money, since they dont have metallica type cash. Im wondering what they eat also, and if the label gives them a certain amount of money... :loco: Also if they ever get a cheap hotel room or somethin... I look forward to touring one day, and Im wondering whats its like for tr00 metal bands who dont sacrifice the music to get huge tour buses, and catering.
 
Well, they travel in a nice, accommodating van right now, and yes they do sleep in it unless they rent a room at a hotel, which they do sometimes. It is a large passenger van that fits most of their gear, and all 5 of them. They usually eat at the venues when there is food offered, and of course whatever they come accross (i.e.: fast food and stuff like that). Tour life isn't all that it is cracked up to be...all the time that is...Sometimes it can be tedious, annoying, and uncomfortable, even if it is in a tour bus.
 
From what I understand, since they've gotten linked to Roadrage, their touring situation has improved considerably. They now have the name and reputation to where they can demand enough money to live pretty comfortably on the road.
I'm jealous. :cry:
 
Oh so thats how that is.. haha welcome to the board! Thanks for helping us sell our merch, we owe ya one. Christcrusher basically said it, ya need the van, dont need a trailer unless you want to bring full stacks, and other rockstar equipment for show, sleep in motels/hotels/friends houses, or in the van to save money, we always eat like 2 or 3 times a day. Show should supply you with food at least once or twice. We shower at the places we choose to stay at or sometimes at the venue if they are provided.

Yeah Roadrage is pulling through for us, it starts now.
