00:00What's up guys? I am Patty. I sing for a band called If Not For Me. My name is Hayden. I
00:13play guitar for If Not For Me. And we are currently on tour with Electric Cowboy and
00:17Very Tomorrow having an absolute blast. We just played the Airborne Ballroom in Chicago
00:22and yeah. We're going to show you our band. Welcome to the cockpit. This is where we drive
00:28and co-pilot. Normally on this tour Cabretti has been doing a lot of the driving which
00:33we're very thankful for. We don't like to drive a lot but before that, before he came
00:38along with us we just took shifts. Typically I was the night driver and then we normally
00:45do like the whole two people at a time thing but we've been kind of slacking a little bit
00:48because we're sleepy boys. But yeah, this is where we drive. We have a car play that
00:56broke on this tour. If I plugged my phone in you would see the car play but yeah so
01:02we've been listening to a whole lot of nothing. Usually it's whoever's driving gets to pick
01:08their playlist and stuff. I listen to a lot of pop music. Addy listens to pop punk. Yeah
01:12a lot of people always ask what we listen to and like they expect metalcore records
01:16and for us it's, if I'm driving it's the Wonder Years. If he's driving it's like Dua Lipa
01:22and Cody's like Dark Trap and stuff like that. Zach is a lot of straight up metalcore
01:27exactly like what we play. But yeah that broke a couple days ago. Our Shenron broke a couple
01:34days ago too. We're falling apart on this tour. It's been good but somehow messy. Yeah
01:42we're doing the thing though. Yeah we always gotta have a power inverter up here because
01:46we got laptops, we got cell phones, we got GPS stuff that needs to be charged. Got our
01:51hand sanitizer because you know COVID happened. We've been very sick lately a lot of us. Yeah
01:57we're very bad at staying healthy on tour generally. We got some wipes down here for
02:02very ghetto showers and butts and stuff like that. But yeah. We got our keys, they drive
02:12the car. Thriller Records shout out. Shout out to Thriller. Essential. We got our multi
02:20tool because we're always fixing things. Yes we are. And a pen in case we gotta sign
02:25checks. And chargers. Yeah I feel like that's generally it for up here. We don't really
02:30keep much up here. Although we do have our handy, this is very important. We got the
02:35nice cases. He's the only one that has that. But we got it. And we have another one for
02:43the rest of the band. Which none of us use. Because it doesn't work. So see this door
02:49right here. Let me pull it on this bad boy. See that? Doesn't work. Just broke. About
02:5510am this morning stopped working. So we're gonna. And voila. We're not normally this
03:04much of a mess but today we are. We got some problems. Here she is. The main event. So
03:13right here we have the two smallest bunks that you probably have ever seen. Toddler
03:17mattresses. Yeah they are toddler mattresses. I typically sleep up here because I get sick
03:24a lot and want to stay away from everybody. And he's up late. Yeah and I'm up late. So
03:29he doesn't want to disturb people so he can get from the driver's seat right up here.
03:33Exactly. Cody typically sleeps down here because he is objectively the smallest member of the
03:37band. He calls it his cage and every morning he has to claw his way in and out of it. You
03:42know he performs a breach berth every morning. Yes we call it a breach berth. And underneath
03:48the bunks that's typically where we keep our personal belongings and food, beverages, all
03:53that kind of stuff. Let's see the inventory. What do we got? What do we have actually?
03:58This might not be good. Well we have an open bag of chips. We got some peanuts. These are
04:05all gifts from Electric Callboy. Yes, yes we're very thankful for that. Oh these are
04:12your, what the hell is that? These are my items that I bought. Sour Patch Kids Blue
04:16Raspberry. They're actually for my girlfriend when I get home. I feel like I never find
04:20them at home. But this is the main event right here. Lots of water, Red Bull, Coca-Cola,
04:27Powerade, anything that we could need. Yep, that's my Red Bull. I'm looking for that.
04:34So this is pretty cool. Up here we have our TV. We like to watch Netflix, Hulu, all that
04:41kind of stuff. I think you should leave as the main show that goes on that TV. Yes, yes
04:45it is. Over here is where we would put our Xbox if we didn't forget it. We forgot it.
04:51Over here is where we would put our Switch if we didn't forget that too. We forgot that.
04:57But yeah lots of entertainment up here. Also this is Samson. He is my pillow pet. I've
05:01had him for like 15 years probably and you could probably tell he's very old. But he
05:08has never missed a tour. He's been on every single If Not For Me tour throughout our career.
05:14So shout out to Samson. And this area right here is what we like to call the playpen.
05:22We have names for all the areas. This is the playpen, this is the trough. We call it the
05:29playpen because there's not enough seats in here for all of us. So somebody in general
05:38is going to sit on this stool in here and they are flopping all over the place when
05:45we are driving. The playpen causes a lot of bruises. It does, it does. But we call it
05:53the playpen. It's very nice. So this backbench actually, we'll see if it works. Oh it does
05:58work. It folds down. There's stuff back here so it's not going to go all the way down.
06:02We'll go all the way down into a bed. Yeah we'll typically sleep two back there. Yup.
06:07Cabradi sleeps here just like this. Just like that. And then I will go over here and sleep
06:12the same way just like this but to the left. And then we have another mattress that goes
06:19in the playpen. This mattress goes in the playpen that's for Zach. And Brendan our photographer
06:24will sleep in the passenger seat. He claims to like it. I don't know how he does it but
06:30he does it. Also last night, this is interesting, last night we actually didn't put the bench
06:35down and we started calling Cabradi Cobra like yesterday maybe because it just sounds
06:42cooler. Or Corvette. But he slept just back there just like that yesterday so we started
06:48to call that the snake pit because you know we gotta have names. And yeah this is really
06:54cool because every little section has all these little cubbies that we store our personal
06:59belongings in. This is how we ran the extension cable for the TV and the Xbox back here to
07:04this power inverter. Very important, it's off right now because you don't want to forget
07:08to leave this plugged in when the van's not on. We do that too much. Done that, had to
07:12get the AAA to come out and revive us. Yes. I think that's like the community cubby back
07:18there. It has like first aid kit, bowls, real bowls, any random things that we would possibly
07:25need. I didn't do this on this tour but I love this peach mango green tea. You just
07:31have to fill up a whole gallon of water and dump one of these bad boys in there and you're
07:36set for days. And it's awesome, tastes really good. So we keep the mattress back here because
07:42it gets in everybody's way when we're you know driving and want to be out and about
07:46in the van. All the extra blankets and stuff like that goes back here. Got a trash can
07:51back here that's normally not back here. I don't know what it's doing back here. Cody
07:54was cleaning. Oh, Cody was cleaning, okay. And in here we normally keep our tools but
07:59everything has been breaking on this tour so our tools have been all over the van. We've
08:03been having to do a lot of quick fixes. They're in the rec room. Okay, they're in the rec
08:07room. We'll get there. But yeah, this is pretty much the back. Not much goes on back
08:11here. Yeah, it's missing a door panel for some reason. We have a fire extinguisher in
08:18case we run into some really bad stuff. Yep, it's very cool. So we just bought this trailer
08:24like a week before this tour or something like that. We've been running out of space
08:30on our old one. Yeah, you can come in if you'd like. I'll shine a flashlight in here too
08:35unless you don't need it. We decided to build a wall right here so all the gear goes back
08:41there and that way it's still in front of the axle for maximum stability. But back here
08:46is where we put all our personal belongings. We have the extra bench for the van. And this
08:50is what we call the rec room, man. Like we just hang out in here. We're about to build
08:54some curtain rods up in here so that we can hang all our jackets. We haven't got that
08:59far yet. Yeah, this is her. This is home. We spend a lot of time in the rec room. Only
09:07when it's parked though. So yeah, that's basically the rig we are currently running. Our van
09:11and trailer. It gets the job done. But yeah, we are currently on this tour with Electric
09:16Cowboy and Buried Tomorrow having a great time. And in the future you can catch us on
09:22the road in June with our good friends in Archers and Holofront. Super stoked for that.
09:26But in the meantime, check out our brand new record. It's called Everything You Wanted.
09:29And we are on all social media as if not for me. But yeah, I think we have to do some rec
09:35room activities so if you guys don't mind. Thank you. Thank you.
09:56Come on. Come on. No, go play in the rec room or something.
