Vended - TOUR TIPS (Top 5) Ep. 1062

What's up, my name is Simon, we're from BendEd, and I am Jeremiah Pugh, and these are our five tour tips. The first one I would say is definitely get like a lot of sleep because you don't realize it until you're in the van itself that like sleep is super important, and I like sometimes can't sleep very well when I'm out on tour, but what I do to help me at least is I put in AirPods and sometimes I just cancel them out so I hear absolutely nothing, and or I bring a pillow from my my bed and a blanket from like a couch or something, something that just reminds me of home itself because I sleep better at home than out here, and yeah I'd say try to get as much sleep as you possibly can because when you don't, it's hell throughout the whole day. All right, so my tour tip is you need to eat your food and drink your water, like it is seriously like something that like you don't think about every day because when you're at home, you know, you just eat whatever you want, sometimes you eat one meal a day, but when if you do on tour, eat that one meal, try to make sure it has, you know, your meat, your vegetables, like all that stuff, you know, what is it the food pyramid? Make sure that one meal has everything in that food period. Also another thing that we like to do to stay hydrated is we drink lots of Pedialyte, and that is the truth, we drink lots of that baby whatever, the hydration thing, we like put it on our riders every day, we go buy it from gas stations as much as we can, and we like chug it like no other. If you have laundry, if there's a if there's a washer and dryer, do it, you know what I mean? Like if if if you have a venue you're playing at and they have a washer and dryer, take advantage of that because sometimes we've gone almost a whole tour without laundry being done and it kind of sucks because you're just like our stage clothes just get absolutely disgusting and sweaty and they're sitting in the back all day while we're driving, so when we do get a washer and dryer, I'd say take advantage of that whole situation because you'll be thankful when you do. All right, always have a backup for anything on tour, mainly for stage stuff because at least how we play, like everything just breaks, like everything that's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna go down, like there's nothing you can really do about it, so always have backups, extra batteries, just anything little, just extra picks, extra guitars, extra amps, like literally anything, just always have a backup for any sort of type of situation. Take a ******* shower, that's a big one, okay, and always spray your shoes with ---- and just and shower shoes, you gotta have shower shoes, take a shower, make sure your clothes are clean, but taking a shower is super important because you'll notice when you're on tour you just ******* stink and you don't even, you're not even moving, you're just like, you just have this musk and you're just like no, so take always, always remember to just take a shower when you possibly can and stay clean.
