Sam Valentine 500 people with $20 admission is $10,000 split cost with 4 other bands and venue fees, is still something to $2000 or $3000 a night. Not even including merch sales
Lol poor Isaac not being allowed to drive. Also this might just be a messiest band van I’ve seen yet. This is a band truly committed to what they do and having to rough it through their journey.....
I know they've upgraded since then, pretty sure they have an RV with bunk beds and shit. Kinda felt bad for Bryan, he seemed tired as shit during this tour because of how small of space him and his members all got in that van. I love this band, they've got a lot of character and their drive is nutty.
I really love the concept of showing touring bands and how they tour in their vans! Just goes to show how tough it can be if you're not really commited to your passion. Before I joined our band the guys told me about their first tour that was 2 months long. Everyone just quit their jobs to go after their dreams and like a week into the tour the drummer and bassist quit. So they had to make arrangements and finish the tour acoustically. Before you decide if this is what you really wanna do, I would suggest watching these bus invaders clips and see what you're about to get into! This is really cool! Great job guys!!
Really glad you liked the video Shane. Hope you get a chance to check out more of them. Part of the beauty of this series is the show you the more glamorous buses, but also the vans, which is where the vast majority of artists start out. Even the buses aren't THAT glamorous. Imagine living in a 1,000 square foot apartment with 7-11 other people for months at a time.
Digital Tour Bus Man I tell you that's gotta be some kind of tough! I saw the 3 Teeth video and dude said rule #1 don't shit on the bus lol plus also no showers really and only bunks to sleep on and possibly floors

Honestly, when this video was filmed, they could have easily afforded a bus. It was a conscious choice to do a van instead. Ultimately, they end up coming home with more money at the end of the tour if they tour in a van they own instead of a bus they'd rent for $1,000+ per day.
@@digitaltourbus Yeah I figure it's an economical decision, then again if they were that worried about making money I don't think they'd have picked this genre of music to begin with. It's hard enough being in a rock band nowadays, the idea you're intentionally going into a niche genre just because you are in love with it is admirable. I mean, I am not their accountant or anything but I would be surprised if they consistently make $1,000 a day just anyway.
@@voteZDLR This tour was selling out 500-1000 capacity venues in most cities. Between their guarantee for ticket sales, plus money made on merch and VIP meet & greets, my guess is they were making between $3000-6000 a day. I have no inside knowledge, just did some back of the napkin math.
@@digitaltourbus Yeah that sounds about right. They probably do make the bulk of their money from merch and touring. And if that's all they're making then to lose $1,000 a day for a bus is a huge expense. The van they are using isn't just unbelievably small or anything either, but having just that much more space to move around would be a luxury I would at least consider if I was spending that much time on the road and was reasonably successful enough to afford it. Otherwise living in such cramped conditions I'd be liable to go a little insane I think
"I listen to the bands we are on tour with" are you God? Haha jkjk, that strikes me as humble and genuine as fuck, probably the first metal musician I have heard on an interview actually admit that they LISTINE TO METAL😯😯 instead of going the pretentious douche route of saying "to be honest I dont even listen to heavy music"😜🤪
You haven't watched enough of our videos then. Tons of metal bands listen to metal music. You have to respect the ones that don't listen on the road though. They are surrounded by it all day. Plus, listening to other genres of music can help inspire unique new metal music.
@@digitaltourbus I actually got the idea from the Bus Invaders featuring Khemmis, but ended up watching a few of these videos before sharing my idea. Thanks for doing what you guys do! These are fun videos.
Please tell me! How you go on tour when you have a side job and not a lot of money! I need to get my band to invest in this! I’d be a dream to go on tour!
Label support is a thing of the past, even since the fall of record sales. If KL wanted a bus, they could definitely afford it, they wanted to have more money at the end of the tour and actually enjoy touring in a van.
A lot of bands upgrade for Warped Tour, since the tour is routed for buses and is very difficult to do in a van. I remember Pac Sun telling me when we filmed the one at Warped Tour that they'd much rather show off their van.

Got bunch of sold out shows but still driving a van. That is how you keep your money
Very much so.
Diva Iswara sold out shows don’t necessarily mean raking in the dough
When have they sold out a show? 😂

what a funny lil bloke, insane vocals though
He's great!

I don’t think it’s too bad. Day in day out in a van is tough. I can appreciate their prioritizing laying down instead of sitting up.
Have you archspires van xD
I wanna hang out with these dudes so bad. Seem like such humble normal people
😀
He showed us more of his van than those with the expensive vans
Thanks for watching.
Arf arf
Thanks for watching.

"I hide to-go boxes of food in the van, so if I'm ever hungry I just pull out a to go box." 😂 Fucking legend.
Hehe
I don't know why, but I tend to enjoy the Van Invaders the most!
They tend to have more character, since they typically look more lived in.

I like how he just pulls the video game out of nowhere lmao. love Bryan garris !
😀😀
This van looks like mine. Respect this band even more now.
Please do an update video! I’d love to see if they’re still touring this way now that they’ve gotten pretty big. Love these guys!
We'll keep trying! It's 100% up to them, not us.
I would gladly throw a new radio in for you dudes
🤘🤘
Dude I can smell the van through my phone.
😅
What does it smell like
@@frenchfries8594 pot, stale smokes, and sweat
Bryan seems so chill. Great vid, and KL is sick 🤘
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can not imagine living like that for weeks and months. Such dedication!
"driving is split pretty evenly"
immediately says that Pacsun does most of the driving and Isaac doesn't drive at all
Hehe
I can only imagine the stench coming from that van once the doors have opened
😅
I hope they have since graduated to a bus. These guys are one of the best new ish hardcore bands I've heard in a long time.

😂 when’s the last time you made 5-6k a day?
Lmao since isaac isn't allowed to drive its more resting up for him
Basically
Great band and Bryan is awesome!!! They deserve a tour bus though lol but it's good to see them not caring only about the fancy things!
Definitely really good dudes.
Bryan! Invest in a Bluetooth speaker for music :)
Good idea
This is what i can the dream job. I love it. Its so practical especially to see a big upcoming band like Knocked Loose tour in this its awesome
🤘🤘
The way he got in the van was so funny
He is way different in person than I thought he'd be. Fuckin solid dude.
Definitely a good dude.
these guys go hard on and off stage. \m/
Definitely! 🤘🤘
Loyal to the Grave!!! Hope you come back to Japan and tour with them again asap
Thanks for watching.
1:10 I thought he said “our friend Covid brought us”
😂
6:19 bro pulled that copy of Zelda out of NOWHERE
He looks so different on stage with short hair, the sweat and the rage makes him look just like leo. But right here he just looks like bryan garris.
🤘
I honestly like them even more after watching this.

Code orange next!
Been trying to get them. Unfortunately, it's up to them, not us.
New club idea: Name the place The Oil Change and make sure all the band's vans get an oil change before they move on to the next venue.
Good one!

Wow that's really nice they listen to bands there on tour with

Why is this so goddamn interesting?
Did you get a gear masters?
Unfortunately, we did not. More videos coming soon with Knocked Loose though.
I think these guys are also their own techs
humildad, papa!
Digging that Vamachara hoodie 💀🤟

Next time you're in Denver I'll put a new radio in for you.

Have fun!!
Zelda, BOTW IS one of the best games of all time.

dude what the fuck , if this is how it is , im sure fans would be stoked to have knock loose stay at their crib for a night.
I'm sure they get hotels when they don't have long overnight drives.
You're goddamn right Breath of the Wild is the best game ever. Love that game.

I wonder where in oldham county they're from. I currently live in Crestwood, KY
I love KNOCKED LOOSE❤️🤘🏻👊🏻💥
They're an awesome band!
Yes 😁

They are a band that really make million to gig organisers and somehow they still loving van
Damn this band is all diy.
Yup! 🤘
Check out Earth Groans’s bus invader episode. They’ve got a fuckin’ DIY urinal in their van.

such a nice guy
Very much agree!
Lmao. This is awesome.
So glad you liked the video Lance!
I would just use a Bluetooth speaker 🤘
Definitely.
And where do they put there instruments?
In the trailer behind the van.
What happens when they have a gig abroad? They don't use the bus then do they
Nope, they rent a vehicle in the country they're going to.
Please tell me! How you go on tour when you have a side job and not a lot of money! I need to get my band to invest in this! I’d be a dream to go on tour!
Start small. Book shows in neighboring cities by doing hometown show exchanges with bands in those cities and just start playing out on weekends.
Is just me or does nobody's radio work in a van? 😂
Lots of bands travel in older vans with broken radios.
I want to meet them
Hopefully you'll get a chance someday.
You guys should do Vein
We've tried. Hopefully we'll be able to do something with them in the future.
Jesus loves y’all
i wonder if isaacs allowed to drive now xD
damn Pure Noise treat your #1 band better
