Amy Guess – CRAZY TOUR STORIES

In this Crazy Tour Stories segment, the alternative pop artist, Amy Guess, talks about some of her crazy moments from touring. You can check out the feature, after the break.

A random one but i got a good laugh out of it was on one of our late night and long drives between cities, we had just about arrived at the next town we were playing and my guitarist was in need of a restroom and everywhere we were getting offended up being closed, we were having a hard time finding a spot and after a while hunting for one he wasn’t in any shape to wait any longer so we went ahead and pulled to the side of the highway so he could pee, he jumped out to do his thing, and as we were sitting there almost immediately comes flashing lights rolling up behind us, startled like all of us my guitarist quickly jumped back in (don’t think he had a chance to actually pee after all). It was the police, the officers got out and approached the van, I’m sure we looked extremely suspect in a giant van pulled to the side of the highway at 3 am. They get to the window and i’m having a hard time keeping it together not losing it laughing at the situation, that my guitarist is clearly in rough shape cutting off mid-pee and didn’t get to go after all this time and because the cops showed up seemingly out of nowhere and that the cops think we’re definitely doing nothing good being pulled to the side of the highway at 3 am with a man on the side of the vehicle. We roll the window down and they ask why we’re pulled to the side of the road, we know they already know but we explain, we were in a desperate situation and our buddy here needed a restroom and we couldn’t find one not being from this area. They explain, that the side of the highway was not an appropriate place to do so… and we agreed… and they sent us on our way, with some solid directions to an appropriate place to pee.
