Wargasm - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2126

The European soul craves walking to a cafe. Oh no, we're under attack. I usually keep one of my Nerf guns in my bed. What's up Bus Invaders? Welcome to our crib. Yeah. Come on in. Hello, I'm Milky Way. I'm Sam. We're Borgasm. And we're on our first USA and Canada and Toronto USA and Toronto USA and Toronto headline tour. Very exciting. Yeah, out on our own in the Big Wild North. What do they call it? Where are we? I have no idea. I don't know. Chicago. We're in Chicago. So, to entertain ourselves on the road. Well, Luke likes to watch South Park, doesn't he? ------- ass. So we got, it all comes with the TV and the sound system and our sound guy, Luke, likes to watch a lot of South Park. He likes to keep us up to date on relevant events in America. Because it's political, isn't it? It's like the news. It's like the news. What else have we got up here? Sound system's good when everyone's trying to sleep and Milky decides to have a Tina Turner party till five in the morning. I don't know what you're talking about. We've got some roses that never go off from In This Moment. Look, where are those? Am I opening them the right way? Which way up is it? This way up. This was a lovely gift from In This Moment. From Maria. Who we toured with before this tour. We've been here since July and it's now September? Something like that. Yeah, it's a long time. I'm going to show the roses. Oh, look. How gorgeous. Still as fresh as a daisy. Thanks, Maria. Or as fresh as a black rose. They smell good. Do you want to leave it open? What else do we do for entertainment? We've got a little snack section. We try and stay healthy with smoothies. We're kind of like semi-clean freaks. We've got our Waffle House mugs. Definitely not stolen. They were a gift for you. They were a gift for me. From my hands. Mine has a peach in it, so I know that it's mine. I like to keep fresh flowers here if we can, because it makes me happy. We've been here for what? Since July? We've been out for eight weeks, so we're trying to stay healthy. As soon as things get too messy, you start to go a bit crazy, and then tempers fray and all that. If you're going to live in it, you've got to treat it like a home. We've got this nice selection of cowboy hats for all occasions. If we've got to go honky-tonking, you've got to be ready. We've also got this. I don't know how broken this is anymore, but we got this great gift from Fanna at one of our first Headline shows. Oh, bro, what the ****? Oh, that's what that was. The bandwagon is relentless. It did have two very nice bottles of whiskey in it. I might turn it into my laptop stand. That's a good idea. Yeah, it's a good idea. But they didn't last very long. Making good use of the things that we find. Remember, you're a Womble. I like to try and do some bandwagon chefing. Oh, yeah, we've got a hot plate. Eggs in the morning in the microwave, scramble them up, a little bit of toast, avocado. And so we've got all the supplies that we need in here, plus lots of leftovers, Uncrustables, apparently. Don't know whose those are. I know who those are. Some of our people just survive off Uncrustables. As an English person, I don't know what the **** an Uncrustable is. Some leftover beers, which is quite impressive. There's usually none of those. That's my fancy soda after the show. For when I get sad. Or for when you get sad. Lots of different milks for all the different milk people. I do whole milk because I'm not a bitch. The freezer is kind of an avalanche. The freezer is a free-for-all. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not going to help, that's not going to help. Why is there a letter in here? Because I fell from the top. See, Sam does the thing that men do, where they just shove it all in and then we're back at the beginning and it all falls back like... Yeah, but if I shove it all in just enough, it's like Jenga. There you go. Nothing can fall now. The freezer, what have we got in the freezer? I like, for freezer meals... Stop getting stuff out. I like these Amy's ones. The ravioli is mine, but it's... That's my ravioli. Put my ---- down. Ravioli, ravioli. All you can do in life is make your silly little ravioli. Those are pretty good. You know, like frozen fruit and veg and things like that. You like to make your smoothies nice. Yeah, I don't like being on the wagon longer than I have to because the European soul craves walking to a cafe and getting a coffee and having a nice ******* cigarette. So for me, it's just smoothing and getting the **** out of it. So you got yourself a little blender. I keep trying to get like a croissant, but when I say croissant, they'll go, croissant, croissant, which isn't a ******* word, but... But it works. When you've got an army that big, you can say whatever you want, right? You've got your little boombox. Got a boombox. It's good, this one. It's from Walmart, but you can record little cassettes on it, and then it means if you're label shopping like we are, instead of sending them a really convenient link, you can send them a shitty-sounding cassette, and if they don't like it... Sounds like their problem. It wasn't meant to be. Also, you can listen to American radio on this, which I find quite entertaining. There's radio on that, but it's not as fun as doing the boomboxes. It's not quite as analogue. It was a bumpy ride last night. Everything might have... That should be good, I told you. We've got lots of ramen, my pickles. Ramen, pickles, cereal. If I can open it. Oh, it's wet. Why is it wet? Help me. Why is it wet? Oh ----, my camera's up. There you go. Thanks. I need my morning pickles, and when I say morning, I mean it's 3pm. You're quite rock and roll, aren't you, Milks? I don't know, I just woke up. I like to get up kind of like half nine. I'm scared of what's on the other side, so... Red Solo cups. Essentials. The Solo cups, the Solo products, are important because... I don't know if the lighting's going to work. Normally we pop off these big lights, it's going to **** up your lights, isn't it? And I'm quite a big fan of getting things to this point that we like to call... Let me shut these windows. It's like whorehouse red. It diffuses. Red is a colour that, like, actually relaxes people. Do you know what I mean? Like, look. Isn't that kind of like a nice, chill vibe? Blue light is bad for you, red light is good for you. Yeah, all these, like, *******, like... Look. Look how bad that is. Horrible. But that... Nice. I started doing that with our photographer from the UK, Jessica Rose. We'd done this to, like, on the first time we had a bandwagon, to make it kind of nice to be in when you're having, like, a drink and unwinding. And then when we were on the Limp Bizkit tour, they came and knocked on the door with pizza. It was terrifying. Seeing Wes Borland holding a stack of pizzas is, like, surprisingly disarming. Yeah, like a serial killer. But it was nice. But Wes seemed excited by the bowl. He seemed very excited about the mood lighting. I don't... They don't represent anything. They're just... nice to... They make good target practice as well sometimes. That's not all three in one. Why don't you show the people what's in your cupboard? Oh. Why don't you do your drawer versus my cupboard? Okay. You can see in my drawer. It does have good storage. I kind of just live out of my duffel bag, though. I need many things in my life. Do the people at home know what day bags are? Do you know what day bags are? It's when instead of carrying all your ******* ---- around like an idiot, you just pack one nice, tidy little bag for your day. I've got several day bags because I have lots of things. What's in yours? This is my... This is my little beauty bag. It's got all my makeup and toiletries in it. So this comes in the venue with me. And I got it in Camden somewhere. And this is my shoe drawer. So I've got some heels for the day and for the night and my cowboy boots. My bullet belt case, which I had to customise for TSA so they would know that it's not real bullets. Somehow it still causes an issue. Very important. Melatonin gummies so I can sleep. Didn't take any last night. That's why I just woke up at 3pm. But it's fine, it happens. In-ears. Some rogue bikinis. Oh! Some cigarettes from 1950? No. So we met a gentleman in Worcester. It wasn't 1950. No, these ones are. The other ones were older. Oh, OK. We met a gentleman in Worcester called Steve North. And he is a collector of old cigarettes and tobacco things. He very kindly gifted me this unopened pack of cigarettes from the 50s. And so when you go to open them it's got a little piercing thing on the inside. You do this and open it like an old tin. And so I'll save that for I don't know, a special occasion. What have I got? What have you got? My cupboards are a mess. I pack like a man. It's just piles of it. I've got a sick machine head jersey that Milky got me for was it for Christmas? Or my birthday? Christmas, because I wore it out on New Year's. Christmas. I like it when bands do jerseys. Watch this space. Ta-da! It's pretty good. Pretty good. Other people are tidier with their cupboards. I don't know. I've got, yeah, let's see what I've got. OK, yeah. I mean, so we've got you know, skirts, bottoms, t-shirts, tops. And I've got some VHSs that I collected over the tour. So I've got Death Leopard. We've got a nice VHS player at home. Iron Maiden, The Doors. Milky gets stuff and then we would like on a Friday night a nice bottle of wine and we'd watch a VHS. Bone broth. Good for you. Bagels. Good for the soul. My cupboard's just full of weird clothes and musical equipment. And I've got lots of stationery here that I wanted to use to write some letters but I've just mostly been doing postcards so far this tour. Postcards are nice. It's nice to get postcards. But it's nice to have it just in case you want it, you know? The one table. Well, this is where Hayley does her makeup so her makeup lives here. Hayley does our merch. Whitney, our photographer at the moment, she likes to edit it. Do you know what? It's like the other people enjoy having the table more so I try and just work in my bunk or get off the bus. Well, you've turned your bunk. This would usually be a bunk but anyone who tries to sleep in this bunk it's like a base trap so it's completely unlivable. So the generator is there. Like, there. So the sound is in my bunk but I get paranoid so I like watching the door and stuff when we pull up. Some truck stops can be a bit hairy. Some of the bits in LA that we were in were pretty ******* scary. Weird places. What else have we got? Look, he keeps it safe. Nice. Palo Santo. The usual things. ------- gauntlets. Gotta have them. Important. We've got our little version of your camera. Get him. Get him, Jay. I see you. How do I... I'm comfortable. Yeah. Perfect. Well, yeah, but that's because I'm like, you know, the big dog. What have I got in my bunk that I want to show? Well, they're not toys. They're collectibles. I've got a saw and a gas stop. True Romance is my favourite movie. You've got the little you're so cool toe. And they had they had Christian Saito's Cadillac. Well, his dad's Cadillac. So I grabbed them. What else have I got in here? I've got... This is quite good. Iron Maiden's like my favourite band. And I was a bit hungover one day. I saw a guitarist, Ben, saw an Eddie Action figure in like a little record store and he got it for me which was really nice. And then weeks later we were playing a festival and Bruce Dickinson was closing out the same stage as us so I went and knocked on his door and look at that. Signed by Bruce Dickinson himself. I finally met him. It was like my first concert in 2006. December 23rd. I was caught on the A Matter of Life and Death tour. The power went out so they couldn't play Run to the Hills. He was playing a very big flute when we met him. It's cool though. It's a bit of a weird coloured Eddie. You know. A bit of the South or out of skin. Maybe that's why we've got that in America. Maybe. That would make sense. What else have I got? You've got your Union Jack jacket. Yeah. Can't fly the flag here so, you know. It's Keenan Dufty who's a fashion designer. Made only one of these and I have it. What else do you keep in your bunk? Nothing really. It's good to kind of keep it clean. Let's see. So I like every time we're on the bandwagon I do a middle right don't know why creature of habit. I've also done the whole house red lighting but I've just used duct tape to make it all nice and red. I like to switch out my sheets because the black sheets make me unhappy. They don't bring me joy. I've got my silk pillowcase. I've got my little my nightdress. My little teddy bataruagi which means battle bunny in Japanese. And in my little thing I've got an extra pillowcase a Hall & Oates cassette tape it would seem. Got a Hall & Oates. I've got my film camera and a sleep mask and I've got whatever books I'm reading right now which is these oh no we're under attack I usually keep one of my nerf guns in my bed but **** where's Ben's? ---- we've got we've got three of them and they're hidden in all different places but no I don't have any. But yes these are the books I've got at the minute and this one it's about driving and autonomy and this is about sadness and existentialism I guess. I don't know just start reading it see how it goes. And that's all I've got in my bunk. I like to also keep it kind of sparse and clean because I spend a lot of time there so if it gets too crowded oh my god we're under attack. You need to at least give me one that's not fair. If you treat people like criminals they'll ******* become criminals. Oh **** This one's mine. The bathroom. So the cool thing about bandwagons is they do have a shower. It's probably not awesome filling it up with water from truck stops but I don't know how bands do it you know like the rock bands and like the super it's all rock and roll dude and they go ******* late and ---- like that and nasty people and they get into their bunk dirty. Soon as you get into your bed dirty again you're kind of fucked at all just like shower every night and it's tough but our TM and driver he's sick at like making sure there's always like water in the tank. And we've also got this nice little shoe rack. Use the space. Let's see. Only thing in here is some our little scrub daddy. Scrub yeah for the washing up. And some washing up liquid to keep clean. Yeah but there's rules with the sink because it just goes straight out onto the pavement you've got to be careful even though it's just water but a lot of people get arsed when they think you're dumping your black water tank which you're ******* not. It's clearly not it doesn't smell like ---- it's fine. But yeah that's it. I like the shower it's nice the only thing is it doesn't go cold and I like a cold shower because it's hot I guess the tank I guess the cold tap becomes the warm tap and the hot tap becomes the even ******* hotter tap. I don't actually know how the heater works in here because it's really good so it heats up real quick. I try not to think about it. There's a toilet it's just a toilet. It's just a toilet. Well if you would like to see us stumble out of this bandwagon sometime we are touring Always We're always touring We're touring Europe in November and January and probably Japan and then we're going to be back in the States as soon as we can and we're going to be in Australia in December **** me are we? Just because all these shows have just been like really do you know how it feels to like be so far away from home and have like you know a few hundred people showing up knowing your works. It's quite nice. It's very nice it makes you feel very connected and kind of part of the world as opposed to just watching it through a window which is what it feels like sometimes. Sorry you were resisting. Yeah wargasm.online dot com wargasm.online for all your wargasm needs on all socials where this is wargasm UK we'll be back with new music soon as soon as we decide to go with a label or to keep ******* doing it ourselves cause DIY or die baby. That's right. Thanks for checking out our crib.
