![]() We get them at this airplane hangar jammed with cheap explosives off of I-70 on the way to Chicago. The Hand is a lonely prop for such big buildings, unless you count the usual pyrotechnics, which are just fireworks taped to the instruments. It grows out of a big black box when plugged in on cue and you can make it sign any number of ways. It was kind of a joke idea we mentioned at some kind of meeting, then one day the fucking thing showed up. We had it designed by some parade-balloon company in the Midwest. I can't recall whether it's a right hand or a left hand at the moment, but I know it's around 8 feet tall inflated. We also have acquired a, how would you say?giant red hand. I believe we were all under the impression that there was another van coming along, but I don't see one. For some reason we have also a Ryder panel truck. But all in all, considering what we put this thing through, we can't complain, and there's a fairly good chance it'll make it through this tour. The VCR's busted, but it's some comfort to have one: ballast. Now it looks as if the shades are closed for a very good reason, which is nerve-wracking on the open highway because they are closed for a very good reason. This one, a Dodge conversion van, used to be white and inconspicuous. No idea what we'll do about FOH after he leaves, but he's the only guy who's ever been able to mix us just right and he's got some pills I think. Taylor has got a week or so off from a more timely sort of summer tour and is doing sound for the first few shows. Neither of them has been on a rock tour?or out of New England for any other reason?until now. Peeler is a delinquent from Chicopee named for his strip club addiction who can drive without sleep for days on end, tech the drums and, not least, is a crackerjack B & E man. Steve performed the ceremony, having been ordained in some mail-order church just before a previous tour (Note: Steve also gave him the nickname, for reasons which did not become clear until Safety-Bear later quit following some very unsafe behavior.) He is handy with things and hammers and is one of this planet's Nice Guys, as it were. We have more guys with us now, augmenting the well-soiled Machine that is Steve the tour manager, Eugene, Matt and myself: Safety-Bear very much comes from Vermont and is recently married. Best I can figure this tour will take us around 25,000 miles, give or take?loosely once around the Earth. It's hot as hell and though we've only been driving for a few hours, it feels like we've been doing this for a week. Nice, like when they show The Wizard of Oz in the park. And it's summertime, and the lawns will be smattered with people getting anesthetized on quilt islands, smeared with pizza grease and feeling each other up. But neither does most everything we do, and besides?this is catered. Quite possibly, it makes no sense at all. There is no question that having the run of an arena will be a curious thing. ![]() ![]() They are currently working on their second album. Last summer they went on tour with Def Leppard. Eugene Ferrari is the drummer, and Matt Pierce plays guitar. ![]() The video went viral after Flume’s girlfriend Paige Elkington posted it to her Instagram story with the caption “Sorry mom”, so it seems likely that she’s the owner of the ass in the video.Editors' note: Mike Ruffino is the bassist for the Unband. Everyone around us was loving the white board and also wrote him notes. We had been using the whiteboard all week, but definitely got the best reaction from Flume. Flume was an amazing sport, we didn’t just get him to eat ass, we also got him to take his shirt off, take a shot, motorboat his girlfriend and we even got the girls on the art car to have a twerk off. We made a white board totem because we thought it would be fun to write notes and heckle DJs because it’s Burning Man. Here’s what she had to say about the fateful note to Flume: So, being the budding Sherlock that I am, I messaged the account to get the story behind the sign – and was told to ask another user named Credit: Instagram / was only too happy to explain the origin story of the sign, which was actually a whiteboard that they changed to feature different messages throughout the festival.
