00:00Hey, I'm Ed from the High Curbs.
00:11What's up?
00:12I'm Corby.
00:13We're here doing our first Midwest tour ever, right outside the Cobra Lounge.
00:18We're supporting our new record, THC, and we're going to show you a little tour of the
00:22van, the good old tank right here.
00:24All right.
00:25You're looking at the main driver, I would say.
00:28I think I've been killing it this tour.
00:30And then you're looking at the co-pilot.
00:32Yeah, I don't ever drive on tour.
00:34I just rock co-pilots, so I'm up here all the time.
00:37Got the little dash attachment, gives everybody directions.
00:41We got our safety first aid kit, in case you get messed up.
00:45Cut my hand a couple days ago.
00:47Shout out to that.
00:48Shout out Culver's.
00:49We don't have too many of these.
00:50That was really good.
00:51There's a lot of random stuff up here, dude.
00:54Hauls, in case your throat's not feeling too good.
00:56A little Sharpie.
00:58The essentials of the speed goggles and your hand sanitizer, in case you're using a crusty
01:03restroom on the road.
01:06Sharp driver.
01:08Box cutter, you never know.
01:09You might have to cut some things.
01:12This might be a little bit of a familiar thing to many bands out there.
01:17Shout out Willie Nelson.
01:18Yeah, shout out Willie Nelson.
01:19He's hooking up a bunch of bands with free gas cards.
01:23Shout out Willie Nelson.
01:26We got this cool MGMT sticker right here.
01:27We saw them years ago at the observatory, and we just got guest listed, and it was crazy.
01:31So we threw that there, and it's been there ever since.
01:34Nice little memory.
01:35I don't know if you can see it, but we got a The Thing sticker right here.
01:39Right here.
01:40You might be able to see it.
01:41I think some tour bands might know about that.
01:44The Thing, dude.
01:45It's out there in Arizona, right?
01:46Is that it?
01:47I don't even know.
01:48It's like, I think so.
01:49I think it's about Arizona.
01:50Somewhere in the desert.
01:52There's a shitload of billboards nonstop for miles, and that's all that they advertise.
01:57The Thing.
01:58The Thing.
01:59Come see The Thing.
02:00And then you get there, and I'm going to spoil it for everyone, it's just a shell gas station.
02:10Like a mock museum of like, dinosaurs and like weird desert cryptids, and then you get
02:16to the end of it, and there's like The Thing at the bottom of the tunnel.
02:19I won't spoil what The Thing is, go check it out, but you know.
02:23It's The Thing.
02:24I bought some fireworks there.
02:25That was cool.
02:26Yeah, for sure, my rule of when I'm driving is I gotta, I hog the aux, I can't listen
02:32to anyone else's music, because I start falling asleep.
02:35I don't know what it is, but like, it doesn't matter if I'm into that music that person's
02:39playing, I just gotta be in the zone of my own music, and it's a whole lot of emo music
02:45and unpopular opinion nowadays, it's a whole lot of Drake.
02:51Yeah, and occasionally we get a little, Kev in the back over here, he's got a nice little
02:57laptop, we've been playing some Super Monkey Ball on it, playing friggin' Mario Soccer,
03:03and we put the laptop right here, or right here with a little backpack, and then sit
03:07in the back with two controllers and we just go, you know.
03:11It's pretty fun actually.
03:12Emulators, dude.
03:13Shout out Emulators.
03:14Oh yeah, this is also Dane's sleeping arrangement, yeah, we'll stack some things right here when
03:22we gotta sleep in the van, and then somebody just, you know, just come across, just come
03:27across like this, and you got a nice little bed for the night, dude, you're chillin'.
03:33Alright, so, a couple years ago we were just going on like a little South By tour, and
03:38we had these like, van curtains up, because we don't want people looking inside, and the
03:43string got caught up inside the roller for the door, and it's been broken ever since.
03:50So this door is very sketchy to open, but it does open.
03:54As you can see, it just kinda, it just kinda hangs, you know, so we have to slam it shut
04:01every time we open it, and then just lock it, and it's kind of a general rule that we
04:06don't open it, but we're doing it for the video to show you guys how we live in here,
04:11you know what I mean?
04:12But for the most part, we all just go through the front seat, and climb on back, that's
04:15what we've been doing for years, because we're too lazy to get this thing fixed.
04:19So we got the rest of the band members, we have a couple fill-ins that are doing guitar,
04:24my boy Dane right here doing guitar, and Kev, we call him Vek on this tour, and then Kenny
04:32plays bass right over here, and yeah, that's usually their spot right here.
04:38Got the middle bench, usually two, and then right over there, against that window, shitload
04:44of pillows, and it's a pretty chill spot.
04:48Try to be as comfortable as you can in that little corner, dude, that corner's clutch
04:52with the pillows, just prop up.
04:54I sit right here, this is my little cheeky heart for my band, Au Revoir Heart, it's a
05:00cheeky net someone made, I kind of get screwed sitting here, because I get their stinky feet
05:06a little bit on this side, with the AC, but usually it's not too bad, I offered Kevin
05:12to put his legs up here, but he was a little scared, so we kind of like switch around,
05:19so one of us can like lay down in the back, someone sit here I guess.
05:23Usually someone sleeps right here, just like straight down here in the pocket, one on this
05:28bench right here, sometimes somebody sleeps right here, since we don't really open this
05:33ever.
05:34Yeah, you close the door, and you just take all these pillows, and you just load up the
05:37little hole, and you got yourself a nice little makeshift bed, you know what I mean, or we
05:41just both sleep in a little pocket, two on the bench, and we have to sleep in the van
05:45at night sometimes.
05:46Yeah, one person just takes the back, and then we all just pack in like sardines, it's
05:52not fun sometimes, but you know, do what you gotta do.
05:56Sweat together.
05:57Yeah, it's pretty comfortable, I feel like.
06:00We got some flags up here too, some real classy stuff, yeah, the Ice Spice American flag.
06:06We had to cut up some holes for the AC, because it was blocking the AC, very convenient spots
06:12to cut the holes, yeah, interesting.
06:15We got Biggie, Biggie Cheese right there dude, Biggie Cheese, shout out Pride Month, sickest
06:20rodent ever.
06:21We're going to have to cut more holes, because it's like over, right here, over the AC, yeah,
06:25right here.
06:26No disrespect.
06:27No disrespect, yeah.
06:31Show them your Creepshow book you've been reading, dude.
06:34Creepshow book, it was given to us by a really cool guy in Davenport, just gave it to us,
06:41but I'm just going to lay down here and probably just read a little bit while we're on the
06:46road, that's about it, you know.
06:50The Viper alarm system, you know, you've got to keep this thing safe, dude, Viper,
06:55shout out Viper.
06:56No cowards don't ever smoke crack, or even smoke crack, sorry.
07:00This is the back, all the gear just ends up inside, it's usually like amp, bass amp, drums,
07:10effects, guitar amp right here at the edge, then we run our merch, and then we take all
07:15our like duffel bags and just toss everything on top, and then cover it all with a blanket,
07:19you know what I mean, that's kind of what we do now.
07:22You know, we've got floating drum bags back here, Kenny's loose bass that doesn't have
07:28a case.
07:30I forgot, don't fuck with us.
07:34Yeah, safety.
07:35We've got this one.
07:39Yeah, I think that's all for me.
07:41Usually, I kind of like, I don't know, I think I'm just good at Tetrising the van together,
07:45so, ever since we first got the van years ago, I was always the one that was just like,
07:50oh, let's put everything this way, and like, utilize as much space as we can, make sure
07:54everything's in there, safe, so nothing gets broken, you know what I mean, the worst is
07:57like, loading up your shit, and then you go to bring it out, and you're like, damn, we
08:01put it in the wrong way, it's all cracked now, or whatever, you know, so.
08:04But we've got hella space back there, you can like stand up, dude.
08:07Like this.
08:08It looks small, but there's a lot of room.
08:10A lot of room.
08:11You know what I mean, there's a lot of room.
08:12We've contemplated like, taking all the stuff out, moving it up front, and just kind of
08:16sleeping back here at night, but I don't think it would work, it'd be kind of rough, you
08:20know what I mean.
08:21Yeah, the sliding door not being in proper condition definitely ruined that, but.
08:27Still sick, I love this van.
08:29If somebody has a Ford E150 that you no longer use, we'll definitely take the part from the
08:35van, because they don't sell them.
08:37Yeah, let us know.
08:39That was the tour of the van, I hope you guys liked it.
08:42We're on tour, we have a few more dates, not sure when this is coming out, but check our
08:46socials, at the high curbs on everything, check out our new record THC, streaming everywhere,
08:52and order some vinyl from us too.
08:54Hopefully we'll see you at a shoot.
08:56Alright, see you at a show, damn, that's a shoot, that's crazy.
