Cavo – TOUR TIPS (Part 1)

In this Tour Tips segment, the rock band, Cavo, give you their tips for being on tour. You can check out the feature, after the break.

Rules to live by: While touring by van
1. Never assume you can’t get lost while using a navigation system. We think the fine folks at Apple throw you a curve ball every so often just to make sure you are paying attention. Also, even though it tells you to make an illegal U-turn as soon as possible, make sure your friendly neighborhood police officer isn’t following behind you, pointing at your iPhone and telling him/her it told me to do it will not get you out of the ticket.

2. A quarter of a tank does not mean keep driving another hour or so because you don’t want to stop right now. What is does mean is stop at the closest gas station that sells diesel. You don’t know how far it is to the next one. Pushing a van with a trailer or walking several miles are things you don’t want to do at night as 18 wheelers zoom by at 90 miles an hour.

3. Treat your road bound living space like your home. Spilled salsa doesn’t just go away. What it does do is act like an air fresher that reminds you that it’s Cinco de Mayo for days or acts as an accessory to whatever you are wearing. Red goes with everything right?

4. Just because it’s free does not mean it’s always good. Well, drinks in bars are best used as a paint stripper for aircrafts and cars or to sanitize a bullet wound in the wild, wild west!

5. The hood of the van is not a dance floor or a stripper pole. Only one band can and should ever get away with this and that’s Whitesnake!!

6. Make sure the electric locks of the van work if #5 ever happens (see #5 above). Yelling what the %*&$#%@ will not make it stop, it’s just better to be prepared and remember children, look away!!!

7. Truck stops are not your friend. They sell all the things that at 3 am seem like a good idea but are not good ideas at all. Beef jerky, Slim Jims, corn nuts etc are very bad things when you’re on the road. If you don’t, believe me, check out any truck stop restroom, I dare you oh and tell Jim Bob the trucker we said hey!!

8. At 3 am Denny’s is your friend!!!!

9. The dried up piece of cheddar cheese from the meat tray that has been sitting out for hours should never be consumed!! Triple dog dares mean nothing as the greasy yet sharp and pointy substance rips your throat open like a hot knife through butter. On a similar note, it also should not be used as a throwing ninja star. Singers only look cool with eye patches in movies starring Johnny Depp!

Keep up with the band on Facebook and Twitter!
