00:00What's up? This is Anthony Martinez from Dark Divine. We are currently on the Not Dead Yet
00:13tour with Crown the Empire, Oni, and Capstan. So, some stuff has changed since the last
00:17time you saw us. We are not in an RV anymore. That thing died. We are now in a Sprinter,
00:22which what it lacks in size it makes up for in like actually functioning, you know? It's
00:26a little newer, a little sturdier, and it's kind of covered in bird poop right now, but
00:30you know, that's rock and roll. Come on in. Let's see. So, this is the driver's seat.
00:35I am never here. I'm not allowed because I crash too many cars, but the guy who usually
00:39does a lot of the driving is, his name is Tyler. He's our merch guy, and I don't know
00:44how he does it, but he grinds through most of the driving, and then Robbie will sub in
00:47with him as needed, but I've seen that guy do eight hours, nine hours, something stupid
00:52like that in the middle of the night. It doesn't matter. He's kind of a machine. But yeah,
00:56usually we have a co-captain rule, or we try to have somebody in the passenger seat at
00:59all times, but yeah, for the most part, it's just one guy doing all the heavy lifting and
01:05a whole bunch of lazy fucks in the back. Yeah, it is a mess in here. We're kind of in the
01:10thick, and we're still kind of adjusting to the lack of space, but we got a lot of knick-knacks.
01:15Some fans gave us a horror trivia thing that we have yet to play, but we are going to break
01:20into that. This is Tiny Robbie. We like getting little gifts here and there. I just noticed
01:27he has a mustache. This is toilet paper that we stole from a Planet Fitness, because you
01:33never know. When you gotta go, you gotta go, and sometimes you just need a napkin or whatever.
01:39We always try to keep the water the venues provide us, because waste not, but it's a
01:43lot of fucking water. Nuts. Nuts. Yeah, this is cool. A fan at one of the shows on this
01:54tour brought us... It's actually caught on the thing. Well, anyway. Had this made. It's
02:00a little metal Dark Divine necklace, and I kind of want to start making those as merch.
02:06This is Robbie's little pet alligator. He does not have a name yet, but I guess we'll...
02:13As the tour progresses, we'll come up with something. Yeah, it's just kind of garbage.
02:18Apple juice, sure. Half-drink water. That's kind of it. Hand sanitizer, because we don't
02:26really fuck with germs here. Me as a vocalist, if I get sick, it can cost us a show or a
02:33performance, so try to keep the germs away. Coffee for the Tyler. The Tyler. Coffee for
02:39Tyler. He's a strict black coffee dude. I've never seen him put really anything in his
02:44coffee. He always goes to Starbucks and gets cups of black coffee. I hate it. I don't know
02:49how he does it. Sometimes I'll drink black coffee, but I don't know. Yeah, liquid IVs
02:54are kind of essential. These are just some protein snacks. Oh, sick. Yeah, liquid IV,
03:03because we just be dehydrating down here. We're playing in suits, you know what I mean?
03:07It's very easy to overheat, dehydrate, sweat a whole bunch, and this kind of helps with
03:14that. So, these are the quarters. We did have this van kind of modified. We fit nine people.
03:19We have nine people, including crew and band members. So these are really sick bunks that
03:25were made by our buddy Tom Snyder from Florida. Shout out, Tom. And yeah, this top bunk's
03:30kind of a junk bunk. It's where we just throw all of our doodads and stuff. Yeah, just kind
03:37of a towel rack, basically. This is where Tyler sleeps. This is where Robbie sleeps.
03:42Don't ever go in here. This is the devil's den. You go in here, you piss him off. This
03:45is a bad day for everybody. And also, don't step on his pillow. I did that a few times,
03:50and he'll let you know if you step on his pillow. So the bench here is cool, because
03:55obviously it sucks to just lay down for long drives. Sometimes you want to sit, stretch
03:59your legs, do whatever. So we do have this bench that is also a shoe holder. We try to
04:05bug bomb it with something that smells pretty good, and then we can throw our shoes in there,
04:09keep them sort of fresh, or at least contained. All the outlets only go... We have outlets
04:16throughout the van, but the only ones that work as of right now are kind of these guys.
04:21So it's nice to have a bench to sit down and charge your phone. We are working on getting
04:25power all throughout the van, but it is a work in progress. These are cool. These are
04:30kind of just little additions we made. Because we own the thing, we can kind of fuck it up
04:33as much as we want. We even got some cup holders from, I think, Home Depot, and we
04:37just kind of drilled them into the wood so we can keep... I've seen everything except
04:42the drink in here, to be honest. I've seen socks. This thing is held like deodorant sticks.
04:46I rarely ever see actual drinks in this thing, but we have it. So yeah, we do have a first
04:53aid kit as well. Just, you know, good to have in case. We have Celsius and stuff on our
04:57rider. We try to keep everything that we can. They're all non-perishable, so we just have
05:00shit everywhere. There's nine people in the... Yeah, we're like nine people in here. It's
05:05just kind of finding space and just putting stuff... You know, we got shit hanging from
05:10the bunks, hanging from these little fabrics that we put on here to kind of... Not really
05:14give privacy, but like... It's just so you're not like falling off of the... I don't even
05:20know why we have these here, but they're good for hanging stuff. Yeah. This is Corey's little
05:27uniform that he's going to be putting on pretty soon. Yeah. Heavy duty fabric, Febreze, because
05:34it sometimes stinks in here. We're pretty good at not smelling. We keep all the stinky
05:39stuff contained for the most part. Sweaty uniforms usually get put in the trailer, and
05:45we just kind of hit whatever we can with the Febreze. Corey is a barber and a hair stylist,
05:52whatever the correct term is. So this is his little hair kit for doing haircuts on the
05:55road. It is very tight in here, so you can... As you can imagine, like nine people trying
06:00to figure out how to get out. It's comical sometimes. We got a lint roller, shorts that
06:06I need to put away. This is my bunk, by the way. It's purple. I like purple. I got my,
06:11you know, a little calf medicine here. This is... Yeah. Oh, this is comical. So we get
06:19a lot of bracelets on tour. I'm wearing a couple of them right now, but I try to keep
06:23them all kind of contained, so I have a PVC pipe at home where I put all of the bracelets
06:28that I get on tour. Yeah, these are the bracelets that I get on tour. Not really anywhere to
06:33keep them other than under the mattress, so here they are. I like them. They're fun. Because
06:38we have, again, not a whole lot of space, we have to improvise a lot. Sunglasses, very
06:43good for just day-to-day use, but where do you keep them? There are these little grooves
06:47and holes in the wall here that are perfect for just hanging shit, and so, you know, then
06:52you have stuff to... Then you have storage, basically. As long as... If you can keep stuff
06:56on the wall, that's kind of ideal, and this is also like a little pocket, so I got, like,
07:00you know, AirPods, you know, charger. What is this? Is this my inhaler? Yeah, inhaler.
07:09Yeah, so what it lacks in space, it does allow us to kind of just get creative with it, you
07:16know? This is Tristan. This is his bunk, and then this is pretty much just crew. This is
07:22Cory's bunk. He keeps... I don't know what he keeps in here. Yeah, not much going on.
07:27This is my hanger. He's going to yell at me for that, but... So, yeah, it basically goes
07:32me, Tristan, Cory, and then crew. Oh, dude wipes for the stinky bums on the bus. We're
07:42also kind of able to hang stuff on here, so I have my little... Oh, this is some fan stuff.
07:48I got some fan art. It looks like me, and I like it because it looks like me. Everyone
07:54got one. I don't know where everyone keeps theirs, but... Bracelets everywhere. But yeah,
08:00I keep my show clothes in here, contained, you know, so it's not stinky, and put stuff
08:06underneath the bunks. We kind of just use that as sort of junk space, towels. All right.
08:09Thank you so much for checking out the Sprinter with us. Once again, I'm Anthony from the
08:13band Dark Divine. We're currently on the Not Dead Yet tour with Crown the Empire, Oney,
08:17and Capstan. I got to go play a show. I appreciate you guys checking us out. We do have a deluxe
08:23album coming out for Deadly Fun. Stay tuned for actual release dates on that, and yeah,
08:29we are on tour, so please come see us. I got to go.
