Talking Show us your Tour Busses!

Come on, don't be shy! Let's see how you get yourselves around to gigs. The madder, the better.

I wanna see those customised vans from the '70s, with the flared arches, studded velvet interiors and mini-bars .

Please tell me that that still happens?

Our band don't have any tour plans (or decent songs , alas), so we don't have a tour vehicle yet. When we do, however, it'll probably look something like this ....

We just each drive ourselves to the gig (unless it's far enough away for all of us to ride together).

The drummer hauls a big trailer with our equipment. But to reduce the risks of theft, vandalism and insurance issues, there is no band advertising on the truck or the trailer.

Unless you are big enough of an act, it isn't worth the hassle.

The Bus....

This comes in very handy when the gig doesn't provide hotel rooms :-)
