00:00What's up, we're New Politics!

00:13I am Lou, I play drums.

00:15My name's David.

00:16And I am Soren, I play guitar and sing.

00:17And what are you doing in bed, David?

00:18What do you mean?

00:19This is the singer, he doesn't like to admit it for some odd reason.

00:27No, no, no, it isn't that.

00:28I just think that a name is more appropriate to begin, to start off with, right?

00:34Anyway, you're about to look at our, we're about to take a look at our home on tour.

00:40Yeah, this, welcome to our home while we're on tour.

00:43This is where everything happens, all the magic, all the behind the scenes stuff, all

00:48the chaos, all the madness, all the discussions, all the cries, all the laughs, all the hugs,

00:54all the love.

00:55The stains.

00:56The stains by birds.

00:58It's actually not a bird, it's really weird.

01:00It's not a bird, but we won't tell the truth about it.

01:04Alright, well let's head on in.

01:07Welcome, welcome!

01:09Alright!

01:10Honestly, this is really not anything special.

01:15These are the places.

01:19There's always Red Bull in our house.

01:22That's true.

01:23If you look around underneath there.

01:24I'm a big Nut fan.

01:25Yeah, this guy is.

01:27But we're also a big caffeine fan.

01:29Sounded really wrong, but.

01:30There's always tons of, like usually, I don't know if you look in Soren's home back there,

01:35there's probably coffee cups and a lot of caffeine.

01:38Is there any coffee back there?

01:40Like spilt over, usually?

01:41Completely wet shoe.

01:43From coffee.

01:44This is coffee.

01:45Because I use these as a cup holder.

01:47So I put it in here, and it's down on the floor.

01:50And then I was sitting and I was working on the computer, looking at, trying to get an

01:54intro for us.

01:55And then suddenly I was like, it's getting kind of cold and wet.

01:59And then I looked down.

02:00So apparently like 10 minutes before that, the hot coffee that was perfect temperature

02:04warmed up my feet without me knowing it.

02:06And then now this is my shoe.

02:09It's totally messed up.

02:10That's really bad.

02:11You should patent that.

02:13I should.

02:14Shoe cup holder.

02:15Here is probably the cup that caused all the damage.

02:18I haven't removed the cup yet.

02:19I kind of tend to just build a castle of cups down here.

02:24What happens?

02:25Honestly, this is actually kind of neat for us.

02:27We just switched fans or buses, whatever you want to call this, like recently.

02:33And so this is kind of neat.

02:35But this is really cool.

02:36We got a TV here.

02:37You know, big 60-inch plasma flat screen that we watch.

02:43And it's not remote-controlled.

02:45It's mind-controlled.

02:47It's mind-controlled.

02:49But we're big movie fans, so we watch a bunch of TV news.

02:52There's a bag around here somewhere with a million different TV news.

02:55And it's just about 90% of it is just comedy stuff.

02:58Yeah.

02:59Will Ferrell is our big hero.

03:01On tour.

03:02He keeps us entertained.

03:03We also drink a lot of coconut water.

03:05They hook us up.

03:06But that's all gone because it's very refreshing after long nights.

03:12Today could be a really good day to have some coconut water.

03:14I'm so hungry right now.

03:17I usually don't get hungover, but today I'm like, ooh, this is bad.

03:22I was out till like 5 in the morning drinking shots.

03:25And it's really bad.

03:27I actually have something really funny I want to show.

03:30This is not necessarily ours.

03:33It's a friend's.

03:34But this thing here is the coolest thing we have in the entire band.

03:39First you think, what the fuck is that?

03:41Is it a teddy bear?

03:42No, it's not.

03:43Look here.

03:44This is a sleeping bag.

03:47Well, if you're a real nerd, you would understand what it is.

03:51Because right here is the zipper, which is a lightsaber.

03:56So this is actually the thing that Luke Skywalker from Star Wars,

04:00he crawled into because he was freezing.

04:03So he cut it open and he crawled into it.

04:05So I feel a little bit like Luke Skywalker when I'm laying down here.

04:09You're a geek.

04:10I'm a geek.

04:11And we need to thank our friend Gaston for that.

04:13Thank you, Gaston.

04:15He doesn't even know that we have it, though.

04:16Yeah, he doesn't even know we have it.

04:18He'll find out.

04:19This is what I sleep with.

04:21He protects me when I sleep.

04:23So I lay it down like this and I'll pass out like this with my nuts.

04:31Yeah, I don't really sleep in the van.

04:33I'm pretty much awake all the time.

04:35Hence me drinking a Red Bull right now.

04:37I'm awake always, either watching TV or listening to music.

04:41We always play music.

04:43We stop the car sometimes and just open the door and start dancing and have a little party.

04:47We also get things from fans and people we meet on the road while on tour.

04:53We actually just changed this van.

04:55So the other one had a bunch of pictures and a bunch of things that people knitted.

05:01If it's a scarf or if it's moonshine, homemade moonshine.

05:06We need all of you watching to send us decorations and stuff to make this home.

05:14Because it's a new van, so we don't have anything.

05:16It's not really warm right now.

05:18So send us something nice.

05:20Pictures, paintings, scarves, anything.

05:24Yeah, that's amazing.

05:25And we'll get these boxes with first aid kit and tea and air spray.

05:32Which is very important in a van with six guys.

05:34The breeze.

05:36And a bunch of great things.

05:39But yeah, that's otherwise pretty much it.

05:41Simple.

05:42Simple.

05:43As simple as Jack.

05:49Thank you, man.

05:50Yo, where's the key?

05:51Brian's got it.

05:52That's the first thing you need to bring on tour is make sure you have lots of extra spare keys.

05:57So much for that part of the interview.

05:59You can unlock it from the front.

06:02We can unlock it from the front.

06:03That's why we have a crew, because they think for us.

06:15That's how we pack it up.

06:17All our bags are out on the front because we use them for when we check in at a hotel and stuff.

06:25So they come in all the instruments in the back.

06:28We have our merch in here.

06:30And anything else that is too big to be up front.

06:36And merch.

06:37That's actually really important, speaking of merch.

06:39Because merch is the thing that makes all of this go round along with live shows.

06:45Merchandise.

06:48That's how we survive.
