00:00The Family Gold Bond!
00:02Sponsor us!
00:04And this is my Omeprazole.
00:06So that I don't have heartburn.
00:35Hello. Hi. I'm Natasha. And I'm Becky. And we are from The Iron Roses.
00:42We have a new album out called Molotov Nights. And we are currently on tour in this.
00:49To play those songs across the world.
00:57So this is Pedro, our stage-right guitar god, who also happens to be the safest driver in the band.
01:05The only one we trust.
01:06That's true.
01:09And the best trailer backer-upper ever.
01:11This is true. You can park on a dime.
01:14So I like driving. It's the most comfortable seat.
01:18It also keeps me off my phone for hours on end, which is the only time I'm off my phone.
01:23Co-captain has to be not on Bluetooth, not on sleeping.
01:28It has to be someone that, when I point out signs, they have to react to them.
01:34And if you don't, I feel betrayed.
01:37Also, someone to help navigate.
01:39If there's a change in the route, and someone needs to get drumsticks or go to the bathroom,
01:47they'll be like, instead of me playing with the phone, they'll say, hey, take the next exit.
01:51Or text me an address, I can just click and it'll reroute.
01:55This is a big Drive-By Truckers fan.
01:57I exclusively listen to Drive-By Truckers with Jason Isbell when I drive the band.
02:01It's true.
02:02Yeah.
02:03I now know almost every lyric to every Drive-By Truckers album that I have never known before in my
02:10life.
02:10I had never heard them before, and now I know every fucking song.
02:14It's become my comfort sound when I drive.
02:16Yeah.
02:17On this tour, it's been Devin.
02:18Yeah.
02:18Yeah.
02:18Yeah.
02:19Devin a lot.
02:20We trade driving duties.
02:22We also, so when Devin sits up here, we tend to stray from the Americana to the hair metal.
02:31Yeah.
02:32Devin's a big hair metal lover.
02:34Yes.
02:34If we need a change of tastes, I also love hair metal.
02:37Yeah.
02:39So, this is our seat.
02:41Every tour.
02:41This is our bench.
02:42This is where we are all the time.
02:44One of those reasons is because...
02:47Because I get car sick.
02:49And if I'm not driving, being in this seat makes my brain still think I'm driving.
02:55It's the same view, so I don't get car sick.
02:57But also, this is like a good leaning spot.
03:00I have this work out.
03:01Everything I need is right here.
03:03This is not the most comfortable spot, but it is the closest spot to the snack bag.
03:11We have plenty of water flavorings because water is boring and we, but you have to drink
03:20it.
03:20You have to.
03:21Peanut butter filled pretzels have been our crack on this one.
03:24Peanut butter plays a big role in our touring.
03:28And we would like sponsored by this.
03:29Yes.
03:30We have, we have a nerds deficiency.
03:33So, we have to eat these from time to time as supplements.
03:38But yeah, everything, peanut butter goes on everything.
03:41So, yeah.
03:42We right now have our bandmates, the six bandmates and our, our Chelsea, who is our travel photographer
03:50and videographer.
03:51And sometimes we just can't hear any more things.
03:54So, um, we don't watch TV just because we like to decompress a bit when we're in the van.
04:01Also, it would be very annoying for the driver if we're watching a show and they have to, yeah.
04:07Also, we have business class.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Yeah, yeah.
04:09We have some people that, um, work from the road.
04:11So, um, yeah.
04:12This is where, yeah, I needed a snack.
04:15They were there.
04:16They were there.
04:18This is my little spritz spray.
04:21So, I don't smell like shit.
04:23It's, uh, vanilla and cashmere.
04:24It's a delight.
04:26Um, but this is usually where my glasses and my phone go.
04:30And this is my water.
04:31And this is my omeprazole.
04:34So that I don't have heartburn.
04:37I have really bad acid reflux.
04:39And if I don't take this every day, I die.
04:42A little bit inside.
04:45Side effects include.
04:47Yes.
04:47Side effects include that.
04:49Mine is also very specific and scaled down.
04:52I don't like clutter, but I am a woman over 45 and I get hot.
04:57So I need my own fan.
04:59Um, I need this because I, again, can't hear.
05:03I can only hear so many things before I start to melt down.
05:06Yeah.
05:06Ginger tooth because tummy aches.
05:08Um, and my stuffy because I, yeah.
05:11Oh yeah.
05:12Stuffies.
05:12Stuffy, weighted blanket for panic attack and then a cooling blanket.
05:16Yeah.
05:16Very important.
05:17Uh, probably nothing we want to show.
05:19You mean that body under there?
05:21Do you see that?
05:22Um, don't, don't look!
05:23Don't look!
05:24Fiber.
05:25If you follow the floor, there's a trail of Olivier's guitar picks.
05:28Yes!
05:29You can look right now on the floor.
05:31You'll see guitar picks.
05:32Guaranteed there's some guitar picks back there.
05:34One more back there.
05:35That belong to our other guitarist, Olivier.
05:37Yes!
05:37And probably some sweaty socks.
05:40Yeah.
05:41And nuts!
05:43But that's where Kate and Olivier set up their, our bass player and our other guitarist set up their workstations
05:50because they work from the road.
05:52Yeah.
05:52This is, this is Kate's area.
05:54That's Olivia's area back there.
05:56And they just set up their computers on the road.
05:59They have sort of like a whole thing with silencing headphones?
06:04Noise cancelling.
06:05Noise cancelling.
06:06Headphones.
06:07And Olivia has these glasses.
06:10They're like, they're like computer screens.
06:12Yeah.
06:12In his glasses.
06:14Yeah.
06:14What?
06:14Oh, yeah.
06:15Here's the plug that runs to the generator that we plug everything into because otherwise it'd
06:20get really annoying going right here.
06:21Wait, I have to show something really important while you're talking.
06:24That every touring band needs.
06:31The family gold bonds.
06:34Sponsor us.
06:36Please.
06:37We don't want to smell each other's feet.
06:38This is very important.
06:40So we rent this band from our friend Sean, Van Damme LLC in Baltimore.
06:48Right now in the back of this thing, we have a lot of dirty clothes because we are halfway through
06:53our tour right now.
06:55And we have some of our merch.
06:57We like our merch station to be extra.
06:59We don't want it to look like anybody else's.
07:01We have a lot of glitter, a lot of glam, a lot of glitz.
07:04Also, we are, like I said, a touring party of seven and we only get one hotel room a night.
07:11So we sleep.
07:12Air mattresses.
07:13We've got a couple of those.
07:14Pillows.
07:15We jam it all in there because we aren't getting paid enough for two hotel rooms yet.
07:20Some day.
07:22Some day.
07:22Some day.
07:23But not today.
07:24Look.
07:25The aforementioned dirty socks.
07:27They're not crunchy so that's good.
07:28Here's my hoodie that picked up some mold smell from a hotel that we had and I cannot wear it
07:35right now.
07:36Here's the bleach we never did.
07:38Oh yeah, look at my hair.
07:39We were supposed to bleach.
07:40We never did it.
07:40It looks terrible.
07:42So, in here is anything that we will want to wear to show or we will want to grab quick
07:47when we go to the hotel.
07:48Especially because when you're a touring van you don't want to open that and show what's in it a lot
07:53when you're in weird spaces.
07:55So we try to keep that shut.
07:57When we go to a hotel we don't want to open that.
07:59Pedro will always back it up against the wall or something.
08:02So in here is just stuff that's like easy grabs for stumbling into a hotel room or a green room.
08:08Yeah.
08:09And the beds.
08:10Yeah.
08:11Oh yeah.
08:12We're on beds.
08:13Yeah.
08:13Thanks for coming to check out the van.
08:15We're the Iron Roses.
08:17And our van doesn't stink.
