Band drops our new album with a big Chicago show on the 12th, then that weekend, we hit it for 2 weeks. If you want to see the dates/cities, DM me - but given that its August and we’ll be going through some desert area, any tips? Never been in a proper desert before.
Compared to other tours I’ve been on, we’ll be in much hotter places. So, ive got sunscreen and sunglasses on the list, and ill make sure we get some hydration tablets. We’re using a rental van, so we have AAA in case we next anything out in the middle of nowhere with the van. Cases of water are a must, and beyond that im kinda drawing a blank. I will be taking my Luffy hat for the sun as well. Wet wipes too.
As far as entertainment shit, im covered on that so really just looking for “what would you take if you had to drive hours through the desert?”
Yes! A spare is great, but you can get tire repair kits and a compressor for under $100 and they will fix punctures from nails and such. I used one on a puncture and then drove on it until the tread wore out (20k+ miles) without an issue, but idk if I would recommend that. The good news is AAA will come anywhere, the bad news is you might need a satellite connection to call them (newer phones have this)
