Broken Hope – TOUR TIPS

This set of Tour Tips is brought to you by the death metal band, Broken Hope! You can check out their five tips,including a bonus tip, after the break.

1. Laundry bags: Bring a laundry bag for your used stage wear–you wanna keep the sweat-soaked, soiled stage-wear separate from your clean clothes.
2. FeBreeze: Pack FeBreeze! You need this for your bunk and stage clothes! You get 5 + guys in a bus, with rare showers…yeah, you need FeBreeze.
3. Clean pillowcase: Everyone likes a clean pillowcase, right? Being away from home is hard on tour, so having a clean pillowcase from home makes your bunk a little better.
4. Hangars: All those dirty stage clothes that you wear over and over need to air out. So having hangars for the “moist” clothes is important in helping to get ’em on track.
5. Vitamins: Vitamins–specifically, multivitamins–are very important on the road. We pack Centrum and take 1 per day. Being in a bus with lots of people and germs is a recipe for sickness. Multivitamins help keep the doctor away…and on tour, you need to be at the best of health when you perform.

BONUS TIP: Get “locator apps” for your favorite stores on your smart phone. Broken Hope is crazy for Starbucks and Jamba Juice, so we have apps for both companies on our phones so we can locate their nearest stores in each city we play!
