Tim Horn Prayer – TOUR TIPS

Indie band, Tim Horn Prayer, were kind enough to write a set of awesome Tour Tips for you guys to learn from. You can check them out after the break.

1. Watch out for Bears – Bears are gigantic post-historic beasts who would like nothing better than to tear open your van, eat all of your cup of noodles and defaecate in your sleeping bag. Bear’s can be identified by large fangs, excessive amount of fur and will usually be attempting to balance a beach ball on their nose.
2. Never attempt to Ghost Ride the Van – Although this is a feat that few can successfully pull off and will surely get you viral fame on Youtube, ghost riding the van is one of the most dangerous things you can do on tour. Several appendages have been lost whilst attempting this including, most recently, John “Stumpy” Peterson from the band The Flames. Poor guy will never play cowbell the same again.
3. Never look your bass player in the eye – Like Camels and those crazy dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, bassists will spit a toxic liquid towards a person if they feel they are being threatened or attacked. While on tour, it is best just to gently extend your hand toward the bass player, so he knows you’re friendly and mean him no harm. Then you can give him a treat.
4. Just becasue it’s yellow and in a Gatorade bottle, it doesn’t mean its Gatorade – There are few things worse in this world than taking a giant mouthful of piss after a long, hot drive through Arizona.
5. That A&R Guy from Sony, the one that’s gonna sign you and make all of your worries disappear…yeah, he’s not gonna be at the show…like, ever – Sorry!
