Hello, we're Hot Milk and this is our five top tour tips for people going on tour.
Listen. Listen up. Right, number one. We know. We're not really. We don't know. Number one, right,
this is really important if you're a woman especially or you have a particularly smelly
like body. Wet wipes, right? If I didn't have fanny wet wipes I'd be fucked. So they're really
necessary to make sure you feel hygienic and in the know. James, number two. You've taken mine.
That's literally like that's that is all five. It's just because right if you're not don't feel
clean you're in a bad mood all day. The worst thing about it is like when you when you're playing
venues and you're jumping straight in an RV there's often not a shower in the venue. Like we
haven't got a shower for the next week. So coming on a ******* hot RV after playing a ******* mad show
you just stick to everything. Like you sit down and you just leave like. So why don't you say deodorant?
I'm not I'm not gonna split. What about ice? No, because there's nowhere to stick. I know. What? Even
even bigger. What? Earplugs or noise cancelling headphones. When you've got like a bunch of people
that snore it turns into a ******* choir and it's loud and aggressive and if you can't sleep
it literally makes you want to either murder the entire RV or kill yourself. I've quit the band five
times since we've been here and that's mainly been to do with lack of sleep and because I'm hungry.
So number three. Make sure you've always got a carb because if you've not got a carb. Fill your
cupboards or fill your cabinets. Fill your cupboards or cabinets. Fill your boots is what I say.
Don't put food in your boots because you'll put them on and you'll forget. It's fine you can fill your
boots it's good for storage. What are we on now? That's three right? So four would be comfy shoes.
Fuck yes that's comfy shoes. Honestly like there's nothing worse than waking up in the morning you're
******* disgusting. Yeah you've woken up you're in bed you're disgusting you're tired your eyes
are like full of sleep you can't see anything and you're trying to lace up Doc Martens like
it's not practical. Get some crocs, get some sliders, get some slippers. A Veruca sock.
Yeah just. Right what are we on for? Also when you go to the toilet you don't want to stand in piss
because nobody's got a hundred percent aim. Basically the conclusion really is before we
move on to number five right. To be on tour is to try to survive in the wild west so if you feel
like you're gonna not be at home and you're going on a journey in a quest. Take home with you. Take
home with you and then honestly I'd take a hat because when you get out of this RV or your bus
or whatever and you're walking into a truck stop there's nothing worse than looking like a greasy
little ---- trying to buy a jersey. Hat and sunglasses. Hat and sunglasses, incognito,
no one knows what you look like, pay for your ---- and scurry on back to your little hole
because then no one can see who you are. It's almost like your barrier against the world
isn't it like you just. So comfort and incognito. Cogni. Incognito. Confnito.
There you go you're ready to tour.
