Tour Van Crash, Swimming to the Stage & Fun input lists on house consoles | Backstage Passes #002
•
Welcome back to Backstage Passes! The Rattlin’ Bones Club mini-series, where I pull out old tour passes and laminates and tell the stories behind the shows.
In Episode 002, we dive into three more passes and a few very different kinds of tour chaos:
🎫 A tour with Trash Boat where our van driver reversed into a parked car as we arrived at the hotel late at night — and as tour manager, I had to deal with the aftermath.
🏊 A festival pass that brings back memories of swimming through a lake from the backstage area down to the beach stage just to watch a band play.
🎸 And a pass from touring with Kovic supporting The Hunna, chatting about what made that tour so fun — including the band’s input list.
More real stories from life on the road, the good bits and the stressful bits, straight from the laminates around my neck.
👇 Subscribe to Rattlin’ Bones Club for more tour stories, live sound tips, and behind-the-scenes madness.
