00:00I
00:14Mean if you're good-looking. How are you Josh? In you come. Hi, we're Amble. We're currently on tour of America and Canada
00:21Tonight we're in Chicago playing the Lincoln. Oh, yeah, and yeah, we're on this bus this last month
00:28We've got two weeks left, so this is our home come and have a look done a couple of movie nights
00:33We did school of rock the other night great movie, and what did we do? Oh, we did
00:39Almost Famous. Yeah, I'm a great movie. Not many though. No, we watch. Yeah
00:45Samurai we did that the last summer. Yeah, he was in bed. I haven't seen a movie yet
00:52I think
00:54That's a no, I usually have football goes in there. Where is our football? Did we lose our football?
01:02No, we don't have that in the cooler to be honest. Yeah, is that a cooler? Yeah
01:07Very rock and roll not knowing the cooler. Yeah, see we need to say that we had a bus before this and it broke down
01:13And this is the new bus. Yeah, so this is very it's pretty fresh. Yeah
01:17Yeah, yeah
01:19Asics really not that exciting as I'm 5k in 18 minutes the other day true story
01:25There's definitely wasn't a problem with Strava
01:27We're gonna meet him soon. You guys are in for a treat. This way here is Ross Mcnerney's for what he gets lost
01:42I know it's a it's a weight
01:44I had surgery on my wrist last year
01:46So when I'm on the tour bus, it's a good time to get my my weight
01:51This is like a Lewis corner here
01:54This is uh, we're not allowed in this zone
01:56We're not allowed in this zone
01:57No, he's allowed in my table
01:58It's pretty empty
01:59A work zone
01:59A work zone
02:00So we don't work so we're not allowed in that zone
02:03He just
02:04All day
02:06Lewis won a competition in a cereal box and he gets to come on tour bus
02:10I'm currently planning the rest of the tours for the year
02:19So I spend most of my time sitting here and bugging the guys about flights and hotels
02:25And that is pretty much the day-to-day
02:27We're playing like 150 shows this year. So this is what it's well needed. Yeah all from a cereal
02:33We're not a cereal. Only for them. We've got tea bags. Oh yeah, that's crucial for any Irish band to bring the tea
02:44They came with us from Ireland
02:46Did that kettle come with us?
02:47Yeah, I bought a kettle the first day I was in in America because we need a kettle for our tea
02:52I'd say we don't have much
02:55Porridge, mayonnaise
02:57Porridge, porridge, coffee, noodles
02:59Yeah, then it's pretty pretty key plates and shades
03:04Adam Heffernan's amberleaf. Yeah, it's a filthy habit and if his granny kitty's watching
03:09My bad habit, bad habit
03:11Yeah, if we all drink coffee
03:12This is Mike brought this from home. This is Mike, Mike our sound man
03:17Good man from County Clare, big coffee man, pretty clean. We spend most of our time off the bus
03:22Fridge, let's go
03:25What is that? Ginger shots, they're ideal
03:27These things have become very important to us on the road
03:31Down one of them every morning, foolproof
03:33Down one of these, down one of these
03:38What else do we have here? Someone gifted us a bottle of fireball
03:41There's not much
03:42Not much
03:42There's not much
03:43It's butter, caramel butter
03:44Ham, cheese, water
03:45Watermelon
03:50Ham and cheese, lots of ham and cheese
03:52So like our rider is like, actually these are on our rider ginger shots
03:55Yeah
03:56And we tend to get like ham and cheese and bread sandwiches
04:00And protein bars and crisps and they usually don't last to the bus
04:04Sorry, chips
04:05We call them crisps
04:07So it's like the chips and the protein bars are at the day of the gig
04:11A baguette
04:12A baguette
04:12A baguette
04:13With ham and cheese
04:14Yeah and then sometimes the ham and cheese now will be left over
04:16So that's what's sitting in there
04:18We kind of leave the bus in the morning and we
04:20Yeah
04:20We don't come back till that night
04:21That's kind of the vibe
04:23We tend to try and get our steps in and go eat in different places
04:25But like usually we get a like we we're out of it but yogurt and granola is also a big thing
04:31Yeah
04:32Yeah
04:33Breakfast club
04:34I don't know where it goes
04:36But it goes
04:37Big black hole
04:38Yeah
04:42Freezer
04:43No
04:43No
04:43The freezer's empty
04:44No
04:44The freezer's empty

05:02Number two
05:02Fuck you
05:05No there's no there's no there's no
05:06Yeah
05:06Adios
05:09No rules
05:11We're clean men
05:11Yeah we're relatively clean men
05:13Yeah
05:13Well it's a new bus
05:14Yeah
05:15These are our bedrooms
05:16This is where we have only how many men on the bus
05:20How many?
05:21Eight
05:21Eight
05:22And there's 12 bunks
05:23So we've
05:23Everyone has a couple of
05:25Or a spare bunk
05:26So this is my suitcase
05:28I got everything I needed for the whole month or six weeks in there
05:31I got a little backpack as well
05:33I kind of bring that out with me on a day-to-day basis
05:37And yeah and then this is my bunk down here
05:39There's not much going on
05:40I got my headphones
05:41I got a charger
05:42I got a light
05:43When I need it
05:45There's a couple of pouches there
05:46You can throw your your stuff in there
05:48And that's that's my big sleeper
05:50Big sleeper
05:51But I don't know why I picked the bottom
05:53I thought it was going to be the best one
05:54But this is Liam's now
05:56I wouldn't have mind
05:57Have been up a bit
05:59Don't know why I picked the bottom
06:00I am probably the biggest sleeper on the bus
06:02And I do love my sleep probably the most
06:04So I just wanted to pick a good one
06:06And picked that one
06:07Pretty pretty proud of it
06:08I'm told sleeping like nearest the bottom is the best
06:11But I know
06:13Yeah
06:14And sleeping on the driver's side as well
06:15Is apparently a thing
06:16Oh I didn't know that
06:17But I'm not on the driver's side
06:18So what am I talking about?
06:20This is me
06:21This is my little home
06:24What can I say?
06:26It's just incredible
06:27Reading a book here
06:28Just all for show really
06:30Not reading it at all
06:31But uh
06:32Yeah
06:32Headphones
06:33Listening to music
06:34That's it
06:35I tend to take my clothes out of my bag
06:37And leave them all folded here
06:39This is my laundry
06:42And then down here I have like
06:44This is my bunk
06:46And again
06:46I haven't looked
06:47I just have my headphones
06:49Wallet
06:50A book
06:51The book is
06:52I've been reading Matthew McConaughey's
06:53Greenlights
06:54Bought it in a Walmart
06:56And yeah
06:57I wouldn't be a big reader
06:58So I'm trying to
07:00Trying to put me to bed
07:01But I actually tend to get out
07:03In the middle of the night
07:04And sleep back here
07:06Robbie hasn't seen this yet
07:07But
07:08I
07:09There's a thing here
07:10So I usually do this
07:12And then this comes out
07:13Fuck you
07:15See I didn't show him
07:16Because I've just kept it to myself
07:17What?
07:18I don't even know
07:18So I tend to sleep there
07:20I usually sleep there
07:22And they don't know
07:23Yeah I don't know
07:24That either
07:24It's a bit nuts
07:25You're bollocks
07:25But Robbie you see Robbie's sleep where he is
07:29Did you do that last night?
07:30Didn't do it last night
07:31But most nights I'm sleeping in here
07:33This is my little room
07:34That's a bit sleep
07:34You know
07:34That's a bit sleep
07:35It's a bit sleep
07:36It's like
07:36Sweaty gear
07:38I love this little room
07:40This is our album
07:42We actually
07:44It's not out yet
07:44So we got these
07:48It's coming out
07:48Printed vinyl
07:49That's a little baby Robbie here
07:52If you can catch the resemblance
07:54Sorry the main thing in this room
07:56That we forgot to highlight
07:56This is Adam
07:58Speaking of winning competitions on a serial box
08:01This guy
08:03He actually can't speak
08:04It's mad
08:05But he comes around with us
08:07This is one of our best friends
08:09Hello
08:11This is definitely a more chill room
08:13I think the front room is like
08:15Where Lewis is usually doing admin and stuff
08:17And if people are asking us about flights
08:20And you know
08:22Plan for the rest of the year
08:23Festival touring
08:24How we're going to get to and from
08:25It's all done up there
08:26And then back here is more just chilling
08:28I know Hef is working here today
08:29But we've also had a couple of nights
08:32Where the green room is so small
08:33That we're all just drinking up the front
08:35And that's like the pre-gig little party
08:37To be honest
08:37Yeah
08:38This also tends to be the dressing room too
08:39Like as in you'd get changed in here
08:42You know you get togged out for the gig
08:43And then we've like our shirts and stuff in here
08:46And this is also Hef's office basically
08:49Yeah
08:50Everything we put up on every social thing is made by Hef
08:54This is Oisin's wardrobe
08:56That's all me
08:58That's all Ross
08:59So yeah
08:59So we tend to like
09:00They didn't tell me about them until it was too late
09:02So I don't have one
09:04Robbie has a good bit of stuff in there
09:05Ross has a double bed to himself there
09:07That he never told me about either
09:08This is my spare pillow or blanket that I put here as well
09:11So I don't have to bring my duvet with me like I'm very prepared
09:18Take a shot of this
09:20There you go
09:22Just scouting around
09:24Denver Red Rocks the other day
09:25So Hef's just getting some footage of that
09:29Everything we have online is made by Hef
09:31So he's almost in the band to be honest
09:33He is in the band
09:34He's basically in the band
09:35That's a bus
09:37That's a bus
09:38I actually happened to use the TV in here once
09:42This tends to be kind of a more quiet room really
09:44Yeah
09:45This is the longest one I've spent on the bus
09:46Usually it's just go out and go for a walk or do something
09:49So yeah
09:50Thank you for having a look at our bus with us
09:52Beautiful home
