00:00We're touring with Major League and they're all here with us right now.
00:03Anyone who's been on tour knows Wipes will save your ass.
00:34Hi, we're Spied House. I'm Max. I'm Marc. I'm Nab.
00:38We're on Belmont's tour with Major League and All In Your Head.
00:43We're promoting our record desertion on Pure Noise.
00:47We're in beautiful House of Blues in Chicago. It's incredible.
00:52We're going to take a tour of the van today, so follow us.
00:54So, usually, I do the driving with Noemi, our incredible first person.
01:04And then, when Max is not in Max City in the back, he does a bit of driving.
01:09And I think the best DJ in the band is definitely, yeah.
01:13So, on this tour, we actually had a game that took most of our time.
01:19We played that game more than we listened to music.
01:21And the game, at first, started as we just put on a song.
01:25And whoever guessed what the song is, the fastest wins and gets to put on a song.
01:31And then, we accumulate points like that.
01:33And then, it turned into, we pick a random character, alive, dead, fictional, or whatever.
01:42And then, people ask questions, and they need to guess what that character is.
01:48And that's been cutting the drives down a lot.
01:53We've been listening to a lot of Quebec music.
01:56Martin Deschamps, Kevin Parent, Pellequin Sauvageau.
02:02So, those who know, know.
02:05And yeah, I don't know.
02:06I'm usually in the back, and with my headphones, kind of...
02:13Passenger.
02:13Yeah, Passenger Princess style.
02:15And we're touring with Major League, and they're all here with us right now.
02:18So, we have Kyle here, guitar player.
02:23Livy, bass player.
02:26Nick, famous singer.
02:28Brian, and then John the drummer.
02:31Who's usually behind like this.
02:35So, they are starting to not be so fresh anymore.
02:41And we were scared at first that they would be like voodoo.
02:45So, that just by drawing them on fruits that, you know, they would rot as the tour went on.
02:52And it's kind of happened, because we all got sick during this tour.
02:57But yeah, so this is all like our fruit salad of...
03:00A little altar of some sort.
03:02Yeah, Major League.
03:03This is very important.
03:05Anyone who's been on tour knows, wipes will save your ass.
03:11What else?
03:12Purell.
03:13We've all been sick on this tour.
03:15Very important.
03:17Clean your hands.
03:18Burning hot water.
03:20It's been sitting all day, freshly prepared to drink.
03:26These aren't mine.
03:28Let's get in.
03:33So, this is my passenger princess corner.
03:36This is where I sleep with the pure and noise blanket.
03:43And with Nab's cushion.
03:47And we have like a few vinyls that is taking the space.
03:52Water bottles mostly.
03:54Bags.
03:58Weird clogs.
04:01Mostly shoes.
04:02So, I really like to drive in the morning.
04:05Having my coffee.
04:06And either Noemi is going to be my backup.
04:09Or Nab is going to be the DJ.
04:12And then Max is the mayor of Max City in the back.
04:16We call it the cave.
04:17You'll see why.
04:18And then throughout the day we switch.
04:20Most of the time, Noemi switches with me.
04:22I like to stay in the front.
04:24And yeah, that's our usual setup.
04:26Come to my cave.
04:29So, there's a big hole there where we stuff it with random water, food that was not eaten.
04:38A bunch of stuff so that it makes like another full row.
04:42Honey is always, you know, for the throw.
04:48And then I usually lay here.
04:53And shut everyone off.
04:55Show everybody.
04:56Like this.
04:58Got the pure noise blanket as well.
05:02And then I just do this.
05:05And we start driving and I go like this.
05:09And the good thing about these vans is the seatbelt thing here.
05:16Thanks for John the banana.
05:20The seatbelt things here really get into your ribs.
05:25And it keeps you kind of alert if anyone is like throwing fruits like this.
05:31You need to be able to catch them.
05:33So, this seatbelt thing is always there to save you.
05:37And there you go.
05:39So, fruits, very important for health.
05:42Also, ginger is great for the voice.
05:45So, when I lose my voice, I just like snap a little piece like this.
05:49And then just eat it like this and whoo.
05:54That will get you going.
05:57Aside from that, we have peanut butter.
06:02Yeah.
06:03What to say about peanut butter?
06:04A great classic.
06:06Protein.
06:06Protein, I guess.
06:08We put these curtains because, you know, when we have to park the van downtown or somewhere,
06:12we don't want people peeking through the back and seeing if there's anything of value.
06:16We also put something, a blanket on top to hide our stuff.
06:22Yeah, it's always stressful when you're on tour and you're carrying a lot of gear.
06:26You know, we take guitars and valuables with us at all times when we go to the motel or whatever.
06:33But yeah, if we can make it, you know, as the least desirable for people to try and get into
06:40the van, that's our goal.
06:42We have extra secret snacks in the back.
06:46Of course, always peanut butter.
06:50Spare drum head.
06:54Spare symbols.
06:56Spare symbols.
06:58Merch.
06:59Suitcase.
07:01Usually, Mark is the one who knows exactly where everything goes.
07:05We got a pretty good system by now.
07:07We know where everything goes.
07:10We're pretty quick to put everything into place.
07:13What goes first.
07:14It fills up.
07:16Around here and pretty high with the boxes of Merch on top.
07:21You have to respect the system.
07:23Follow the system.
07:25Thanks for checking out our van.
07:27We're Spied House from Montreal, Canada.
07:29Check us out on whatever streaming service you want.
07:34Instagram and all that stuff.
08:05Bye.
08:06Bye.
