Your Spirit Dies - BUS INVADERS Ep. 1844

hey what's up um my name is Brandon buers I'm the vocalist of beer Spirit dies and we're on tour right now with zo and CA um in Chicago Illinois I'm Tyler I'm the guitar player so uh this is the win Bagel uh she's kind of new to us we got her back in when April May yeah may we got her in may we had another one for for so long I think [ __ ] out I think went February yeah it [ __ ] up pretty bad so this one's been really cool um 15 passenger Advantage nothing too crazy but you know it's nice to have something with air conditioning we're touring right now on a record that we released back in December it's just an EP called our St ground in Ash um it's on all streaming platforms we go into the studio in October to start working on F E Record so keep your eyes keep your eyes peeled yeah it would be awesome most of the driving is done by me and my bass player Keegan who is a a freak of nature he likes to drive a lot so he usually takes most of them we I usually do most of the night drives and he'll do six hours during the day he doesn't [ __ ] care you know what I mean like he can do it all um this is the front uh got the Stanley got hats got an empty Cliff Bar Box um this is our little storage compartment that just has a goosebumped hat hairbrush a private mind CD they're [ __ ] awesome listen to this band um an RC Cola probably from 4 months ago Junior um just like a couple of knickknacks in here some cloes and stuff we got the emergency or the vitamin C stuff you know got to stay healthy um we have a tuna kit that's been in our van since May that is our other guitar players um and then just like a bunch of random hot sauces that we uh collected but have not used um so this compartment was supposed to be very organized um as you can see it is no longer there's trash there's just random [ __ ] in here we're really bad about keeping up with that um the tuna kit probably should have been thrown away you know two months ago so here we are yeah I think for like entertainment most of us just uh it's usually the co-pilot the co-pilot will usually pick the songs and stuff um as far as records that we've been listening to it just kind of shifts between who's driving uh our base player who drives like I said a lot listens to a lot of weird [ __ ] like cyber grind and like just like hyper pop [ __ ] that none of us can stand um but that's cool you know what I mean we're all in for it um usually when I'm up here like doing night drivs I'll throw on some like chill music like further SCS forever like just some like just calm music to get me through um and we'll listen to a lot of the bands that we're torn with like zo I've been kind of heavily rotating them a little bit with driving down the road and stuff so yeah that's been mostly what's going on in here so I am kind of the passenger princess I usually am uh bunked up on the top back there you'll see it in a little bit but um it's kind of the same sit like uh just stuff that's coming out there's a couple new singles that are coming out for uh some bands we like uh cauldron uh a Morning Star has put out some new stuff and then I'm really heavily into the midnight who just put out a live album that's been on heavy rotation and I've been kind of going back and listening to them a lot uh Jaws this one UK band I don't know it's just it's we're an Eclectic group like the the the vibe will change in the drive and so with the music so we copied the setup that no here uses which is a uh a bench a little space in between where the second bench would be at and then our bunk start which of Like Houses two people on the top two people on the bottom um as you can see there's a [ __ ] my stray Croc usually falls out time he gets in the B he's lost three pairs of shoes it seems like it so when we were out on tour with no Bragging rids a couple weeks ago one of them fell out in front of preserving in Pittsburgh and uh I thought it was [ __ ] gone I had already lost the shoe the same way like a week prior and no brag rights picked it up and saved the day for me so I still have my Crocs which is pretty sick um so as you can see over here in this first bench we have our our uh drummer chab uh yeah what you Brandon AKA chab pirat on a boat pirates on the boat pirates on the cat pirates on the boat that's a that it's an essential song in our van it's like it's our it's our get ready song you know what I mean we we we'll get in the van in the morning we'll sleep in a Love's parking lot we'll wake up pirates on a boat by youo Miles if you know him God bless you you know what I mean it's awesome yeah he's a freak and has like he just he just really creative he loves his electronic knickknacks um he does work from the van um he what do you do I don't even know what the software engineer he's a software engineer so he uh this is handsfree entertainment it's the way to go I mean I watched Ahsoka today and I didn't I had my airpods in they were all playing music but I I could hear everything fine it was like I was in a theater in the van yeah you can get this on Amazon I don't know what it's called but it's incredible yeah okay so usually someone will sleep right here um it's usually Keegan um who else just Keegan really Kean maybe Z maybe he's small I feel like it's just kind of like a communal space it's our it's our couch if you will now this right here this is usually his spot he'll sleep right here in the trench um because he's a shorter human um I am 6' 3 he is definitely not so he'll curl up right here in this little b bad boy and it's [ __ ] comfortable it's amazing um it's good yeah it makes sleeping in the van a lot easier um cuz we're not a man that gets hotels every night so we'll just kind of cramp up in the van and sleep um as you can see uh foot spray and I just dro the foot spray I believe this is empty foot foot powder spray um empty water bottles uh the the biggest pillow that I think I've ever seen um once again Keegan just dirty clothes and book bags and blankets and pillows and Hardy cups um yeah so this area is definitely kind of just communal everybody when we're not when we're driving they'll just throw their [ __ ] right there for a little bit you know if someone's not using it so it's just kind of a communal area for sure so yeah um this is the back of our van as you can see um it's got a little bit of paint chip um apparently this is like pretty popular in Chevys for some reason this year model model um it's like all up and down our side of our van um I don't care it still drives so who cares this is our dryer where we put like all of our soaking wet clothes from sweat like after a show or if we take a shower we we just throw the towels in the back the air does its job um it's very advanced technology for sure General Electric could never yeah they could never figure it out they can never do yeah we're going to check out the back of the band where the [ __ ] bunks are so we're going to get in here real quick um this is the freak of nature himself Keegan my bass player uh an excellent human a [ __ ] once again freak of nature um he's just chilling up here uh probably hitting his uh his uh his pin a little bit you know what I mean we're in Chicago it's legal this is the back um this is the top bunk usually uh Tyler will sleep on this side um um reys our fing guitar player will sleep on this side um we have Tyler's book bag um it is never zip it's always it always everything always falls out and then he's always like where's my things at you know that's it and then but this is comfortable I spent real good money on this little [ __ ] it's very comfortable I built this by hand hard labor you know what I mean um this is our bottom bunk this is where a lot of our side storage and stuff like right here here um lot of dirty clothes water bottles there's a trash can up there if you can even see that pillows um shoes this is a a buy blanket um and yeah we just uh we love bies you know every time we're in the area we St bies [ __ ] with the um go use the [ __ ] bathrooms because they're Immaculate you know take some shits um maybe even jerk off cuz you got your own little room you know what I mean you're just just hanging out um so yeah that's uh that's about it this sleeps two people normally I sleep down here because I'm the longest one and my feet don't hang off of anything and then our merch guy Zach will get underneath with me and he'll just KNE the [ __ ] out of my back all night and it sucks but it just is what it is um yeah that's about it for the back this is a U-Haul glorious U-Haul if you're a band you know about the U-Hauls um we got a guy who uh treats us right over at the U-Haul thanks for coming along with us
