As we hear stories upon stories of the road, we can only think about the difference between those sold out venue shows where you were treated at the 5 star hotel by drop dead gorgeous 24 hour room service girls, and the local dive bars with 15 people  staring at the weird guy on the mic. The show in Nashville, Tennessee where 12 people came , you made 40 dollars and slept on the porch of a house; the show in Virginia Beach, your feet were in the sand after the show with a girl you wanted to bring home to your mother, but you live over a thousand miles away.

These are tour story specifics. Some are crazy moments, some are normal occurrences. These “tour story specifics” go deep in the minds of our selected artists, tour managers, photographers in this particular article, and we invite 8 warriors (K Flay is a warrior-ette) of the road to tell us about the worst places they have ever stayed.

Grieves

(Rhymesayers Recording Artist) Once i did a tour in a 1980’s 31 foot chevy allegro RV. It was stocked full of juice boxes and tuna. We showered with water jugs that we would fill up with warm water at gas stations and there were 2 mice that lived in the walls. Type and I lived out of that thing for two months on tour until it broke down in Chattanooga, TN where we were forced to find a hotel for a week—The Cherokee Inn. The Cherokke had just recently re-opened it’s doors after being shut down for “prostitution.”Tthe walls were molded through and the beds gave us the worst rashes ever.. RAP IS GLAMOROUS!!
