Lock & Key – TOUR TIPS

In this Tour Tips segment, the metallic hardcore band, Lock & Key, give you their tips for being on tour. You can check out the feature, after the break.

1 – DON’T EAT SHIT. If you eat take out every day, after a few days you will start to feel like you’re going to die. At least aim to eat 2 of your ‘5’ a day. It all helps.

2 – DON’T FORGET. Another classic is remember sleeping bag, shower gel, towel, tooth brush, paracetamol – all things overlooked or forgotten at times

3 – HAVE A ROUTINE. Nothing is more annoying than turning up to a venue and half of the band disappearing for food/piss or both. Have a plan/routine even if it is basic – it saves load in being done in a rush or by half the band.

4 – REST. I’ve never been much of a ‘party’ guy on tour, but I firmly believe in resting when you can and if you can help it don’t go to bed at 6am if you’re up at 8am for a long drive. If you do, it does not feel good. I can confirm.

5 – DON’T TAKE THINGS TOO SERIOUSLY. It’s important to enjoy yourself and have fun, after all, that’s why you’re driving across the country in a rusty van eh?
