The Sewing Club - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2183

0:00We have to add it to the van every time before we start driving because we have a leak. And now Justin's wearing a hat. It's my thinking cab. Yeah, he's thinking. It was falling down and then I ripped it off. Yeah. And then that's what was left. Hey guys, I'm Hannah with the Sewing Club. I'm Justin with the Sewing Club. We're with the van. This is our van. She doesn't have a name, but she does say, Jesus only on the side. It was a church van. You can call this phone number. Actually, don't know if that calls anything, but we can try later.

1:02We're on tour with Choke Cherry right now. It's been almost a month. Yeah, almost a month. We're in Chicago right now. Love Chicago. You know, we're just in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus is great. Chicago is better. Yeah, yeah. And yeah, it's been awesome. This van has been kind of holding it together for the two good. For the most part. Transmissions a little if you believe. It does turn off when we go up the hill. But, you know, we made it. Let's hop on. Let's go. It's really tall. And I'm short. So, but jump in. So I actually drive the least. So it's funny that I'm sitting in the front seat. But Steven in the back drives the most, I would say. But all the guys kind of try to swap every so often. And then I drive when everyone's like really tired. Would you say that's true? Yeah, that's very true. Yes. That's very true. The title of the van is in Steven's name. So when things get like really iffy, it's kind of like, yes, Steven, you might as well drive it. So it's your fault if something happens.

2:03Yeah, that's pretty much true. We've got pretty good decorations up here. We've got this little dinosaur. We've got a, we almost got a speeding ticket today. I was driving and they just gave me a warning. But Steven wasn't wearing his seat belt. He was sitting here and they gave him a ticket. They gave him a ticket. This is a little hood ornament. We picked up today. Yes. We've got our Wi-Fi router. And yeah, that's it. That's pretty much it. Yeah, we got this guy here. It's a GPS. It's like a car play thing. Yeah, we don't have a rearview mirror. But you can't really see back there anyways, because the van's so long. So this has like a backup camera, which has been nice. But it is like every time you turn the lights on, it goes to the camera, and then you have to like adjust it like every time. So it has its quirks, but it works. Yeah, it does a job. Yeah. Yeah. It is driver picks, and you plug into this. And then you work the old Kenwood here.

3:03Yeah. Yeah. Today is a lot of old soul R&B. Chief Keith, when we rolled into town. When Zach drives, it's a lot of podcasts. When Steven drives, it's a lot of, you know, anything from that old to a Ford's Mad Rock. When Hannah drives, it's also podcasting. Amy Poler, love that girl shout out. We've been here in a lot of her voice. Yeah. Yeah. In my dreams, I'll be hearing Amy. Yes, yeah. So we have Steven and Zach here in the back. And usually I would say this is just in like lay down seat. That's Zach's. And then Steven's driving, and I'm in front. That's like our typical. Is the typical vibe? Lay out and vibe. Yeah. And we also have a cooler up here. We had thought about taking it out because we weren't using it. But now it's full of our rider stuff. So we got Dave's bread, Gatorade, Pita chips,

4:06turkey, bottle of water. What's that? Blueberries. Yeah. There's pretty much anything that's on our rider. Yeah. They love a berry. So yeah, dig in, guys. Say that's for a lighter. Yeah. Say that for a lighter. Popcorn. That's a big one. We did spill it all over the floor earlier today. So I got some crumbs on there. So yeah. So yeah. And then we just always constantly have cases and cases and cases of water. And then Steven could talk about the ceiling because he did that. Yeah. So it was falling down. Yeah. And then I ripped it off. Yeah. And then that's what was left, you know, and I was trying to rush before tour and make it happen. I got that done. Yeah. I'm still peeling it off while we're driving. So it's work and progress, you know? Yeah. So if it's really quiet, you'll just feel like a scratching sense. I actually don't know what that is. What the? OK, so I need to get out. Safety first. You know, in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night.

5:07Yeah. Yeah. You know, our van's been having problems. So we probably will use safety first. Safety first. Safety first. Yeah. Got to see him. He's going to be out there. Yeah, I got to see him. And then we also got this power bank. It's been nice. We kind of like can charge all of our stuff from it. Our alternators like too small. So we can't actually charge like everything we need to from the van. So we have this. And it's been cool. We actually used this at a gig to plug in Justin's guitar because it had a grounding issue. So this has been on stage. Seamless. Yeah. Now Justin's wearing a hat. It's my thinking cap. Yeah. He's thinking. So. And so on a long drive, which we've had many, I would say Stephen and I, if Stephen's not driving, he's working. He works as a construction estimator. And then I work in artist management. So I'm taking phone calls and emails and telling all the guys to turn their shit down when I get a call. And then Justin's usually sleeping. I would say he's not driving.

6:08And then Zach, I feel like you're always listening to something with your headphones on. Listening or like doing something. Yeah. We kind of try to like stay busy, which is why we have the Wi-Fi, which has been nice. But that's kind of the mode, is that. And then someone gets tired and we switch drivers. That's kind of how it goes. This is the Jesus-only Tabernacle. They're going to go in and set up our stuff on stage. Jesus-only Tabernacle. That's Stephen bought it from a guy who faced with Marketplace. It was only like 6 grand, which for a band, it's like pretty cheap. It had like 60,000 miles on it, even though it's a 98, which is kind of cool. I've never tried to call this phone number. I kind of want to. So we'll update you in the comments if you call the number and see what they said. Or you can call it, maybe. Maybe don't. I don't know. And then here's the back. Have this yellow stone sticker. Let's open it up. I actually don't know what's in the back, so. We'll see. I've already unloaded for the show. So if you're kind of learning, Stephen kind of is our guy for a lot of the band stuff

7:12in general. I would say like Justin and Stephen kind of Tetris and Luke. I'll usually do the Slavic squat in here. Yeah. Like this. Like so. Like a catcher. Like so. And I'll bring it in. Yeah. And it's like a conveyor belt system. Yeah. We all help. It just depends on what we're all doing at the end of the show. Yeah. But usually it's gear on the left, luggage on the right. Today it looks kind of weird because we packed weird last night. Yeah. And we also have this because we have to add it to the band every time before we start driving because we have a leak. So it's coming out the radiator. Yeah. She's bleeding. Yeah. She's bleeding. But we have this. We'll probably find more. Yep. Sewing Club. That's our name. The Sewing Club. On Instagram, it's Sewing Club. And we have an album coming out in the spring via born losers out in Philly, which we're excited about. And we're just finishing up this tour of Choke Cherry and then going home for Christmas. And next year it's going to be a big year of new music and shows and the whole thing.

8:13So follow us and see what's coming up.
