Novelists - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2219

I think it's really comfortable when it's light out. When it's not, you cannot really live here. We are too afraid of using the gas here, but I usually love the toaster. Hello, I'm Camille from Novelist. We are currently touring with Dance Giving Dance on their US tour. So we want to introduce you our two RVs, because yes, we have two RVs. So the first one is the Ben RV. So I don't know if you saw, but this stairs doesn't work. So we have to climb really high to go inside the RV. Here we have the driving cabin. This is where we drive. It's an automatic RV. As we are French, we are not used to automatic vehicles, but it's really cool to have this. So the guitarist Pierre is sleeping up there. He said that it's pretty comfortable, even though the road is moving a lot, but it's cool. Here we have the dining area, chilling area, which is also my bed because I sleep into this. We just take off the table and then we add something more and this is where I sleep. We have here a little kitchen. So we don't use the gas because we are too afraid of using the gas here, but I usually love the toaster and we use microwave. We have a fridge full of delicious dishes from America. I don't even know if it's well packed or not, but here is our fridge. We have a little bit of catering from every venues. So I'm vegan. So most of the vegan things come from the venues. Like we have a vegan slice, vegan cheese. We have every day, like we ask in our rider to have oat milk every day. So we drink a lot of oat milk. Every band members, even though they are not vegan, they drink oat milks. Then we have... Okay, so Pierre, the guitarist, he loves blueberries. Like it's something because he always starts a package and he never ends it. So we have a lot of packages with only two or three blueberries and in the end, we just have to put them in the trash or they stay in the fridge for like forever. And I like to buy some chocolate chips because I can add them on like for my breakfast. Like I have yogurt or stuff like that. And what do we have? We have Flo, Ama and Nico. They love to do pastas. So they made a like new technique because they are cooking the pasta on the toaster. Which is weird, I think. But still, they like it. So that's cool. Do we have something here? Yeah, we have like ice creams that we bought in Walmart. When we arrive in the US, we only start with Walmart and we buy a lot of things. And that's it. We have been pretty reasonable for this one. We have here... Okay, so I think we have white clothes here. And here we have like the thing we don't put in a fridge. Flo, Pierre and Ama are really reasonable. They are counting their calories on this tour. So you cannot find any like guilty pleasures. But Nico, he's got so many things. Like, you know, these cereals, Froot Loops and a lot of sweet snacks. And yeah, that's it. Like we try to count our calories so we don't lose the shape during this US tour. So this is not how it looks when we are driving. Here we have spaces when we are parked. So we can slide out this part. So when we are sliding, it comes here, I think. Yeah, this way. So it's really, really narrow. But when we are driving, we are sleeping because we have a driver. Or we are just sitting and waiting to arrive at the venue and then we slide out. And I think it's really comfortable when it's slide out. When it's not, you cannot really live here. This RV is really old because, for example, here you see there is tape. It's because this window, when we are driving, is always opening. Like in the middle of the night, you can have a lot of wind. So we try to tape it. And yeah, like the slide is not sliding this way. He's doing like this. And in the end, it's really weird. And the stairs are not working also, but still. Then we go to the other part of the RV. So we have two bunks here. So the funny story is that we made 20 hours of driving to swap RVs because on the previous one we had at the beginning of this tour, there wasn't any bunks. So we couldn't be able to sleep the six of us or the Benz and the driver. So we swapped and we drove 20 hours to get this one. We have two bunks. Flo is sleeping here. Nico is sleeping here. They have a TV here. Lucky boys. So they can watch TV if they want while we are driving. Important room of this RV. Bathroom. So we have toilets and the shower. So we use shower when there is not shower in the venues or when we are in day offs. And we can refill and dump the water at like dump stations or love station. And yeah, that's it. That's really convenient to have that in the RV. And the last part, this is the room. And our driver is sleeping here. So when we are moving around during the day, we are not disturbing him so he can sleep. And Ahmad, the driver, is also sleeping here. So when the RV is parked, it's really comfortable. But when it's driving, it's horrible because it's the end of the RV. And when there is a bump, here you are flying. So that's why I'm not sleeping here. I prefer to sleep in the middle. And we have a lot of stuff here to pack. To put your stuff like clothes or stuff like that. And here we are for the first RV. Band members and one driver. And we can go to see the second RV. So now we're gonna check our second RV. Come here. So here we are in the RV, the crew RV. We have the same as before. We have the driver cabin. So if we come here, maybe this is some like... I don't know how to say it in English. Some little gnome. And yeah, I don't know. It's our driver. I think he likes these kind of things. I don't know. He's got that. I didn't know we don't have that in our RV. So I think he just added on the package. Up there we have our light guy Vlad. He's sleeping up there. He's got a pretty comfortable bed. Like he's a double... He's bigger than ours. So I'm a little bit jealous but... No way! I didn't say that. So yeah, he has a TV. Okay. So I don't want him to complain about anything because his bed is so big. And he's got curtains. That's really cool. They still have the same like chill area. And I know that our merch girl and media girl, she's sleeping here also like me. I think they just have to put the table down and add a mattress on it. And that's perfect. Then we have the kitchen. Here is the kitchen. They have the same as us like microwave, oven with gas. I don't know if they use it. We don't but maybe they use it. They don't have the toaster. We have one. They have the fridge. Let's open this fridge. We're gonna see what they have. Oh my god. Okay. So they basically... I don't think they did a lot of Walmart. Yeah, they didn't buy anything in Walmart. So we have... This is from catering. What is this? Greek yogurt drink. Yeah, it's pretty an empty fridge. And here... Oh, they have... Okay, they have frozen food here. So they did go to Walmart. And then we have like a shower here. Toilets are here. And here we got the bed at the end. I'm jealous because their RV looks better than ours. But I'm happy for them. They have a big bed and they have a lot of storage space on both sides. And it's sliding now. So there's two slides as the same as us. They can slide the kitchen part and also the room part at the end. So I think when you are living inside, it's wider. It's bigger than ours. So yeah, I think it's a good... But they don't have bunks. But there are only four in this RV. So that's why we booked this one. And so that's it. So we have two RVs. We are following each other and arriving at the venues. And yeah, I think that's pretty much it. So I'm coming from Novelist again. And we are touring the US again in September. If you want to follow all the dates, all the news, you can add us on Spotify and also on Instagram. Our account will be Novelist or Novelist Music. And we also have a store, Novelist store. You can buy merch. And we're going to release a new single in September. But that's a secret. Nobody knows. And yeah, that's it. I hope to see you in a show in the US or wherever in the world. So we're going to now slide in because we don't want any bikers or anyone to get hurt. So we just... It's pretty simple. Slide in, slide out. And let's go. It's not the right one. So now you think it's sliding. But no, it's not. We have to push one more time. And now it's fine. And we do the other way. Okay, and this is how the RV looks like when we are driving, which is pretty much really smaller than before.
