00:00Peabags.

00:00Yeah, for emergency.

00:01I tried using one, it is a piece of shit.

00:03And I pissed all over my stuff.

00:05Watch where you walk and I'm hula hooping here.

00:07Move it!

00:34Hey, we're the Soap Girls and this is our trusty steed.

00:37The Tour Van.

00:38We're here on the Rebel DNA Tour in Chicago.

00:41So now we're playing Chicago at Elias Bell.

00:44And it's the third show of the tour.

00:45It's going to be insane.

00:46We are so excited.

00:47We have how many more dates?

00:49I don't even want to know.

00:50I'm just excited.

00:51We're going everywhere in America on our Rebel DNA Tour.

00:53We're super excited.

00:54We love the USA.

00:54We're all about freedom.

00:56We're so passionate about it.

00:57We know that a lot of people are feeling very, I don't know, disconnected and down right now.

01:02So we're here to raise this group, man.

01:05Yeah.

01:05And actually it's very hot.

01:06Dude, it's fucking nice.

01:07Take this thing off.

01:08Take this fucking thing off.

01:09Okay.

01:09Yeah, we're excited.

01:10So we want to see what's going on in there.

01:12Also one thing we just really want people to remember is this.

01:15Life is very short.

01:16Please embrace yourself.

01:17And also be careful when you're parking in Chicago.

01:20The job is here.

01:20Fucking crazy.

01:21You just killed that moment, man.

01:22We had a moment here.

01:23We look like zombies and it's only day three of the tour.

01:26I don't even want to know how crazy we're going to look after.

01:29Do you know when we try to get into hotels, people are like, do you go here?

01:33And we're like, yeah, we paid.

01:34We have a room here.

01:35Oh, you're showgirls.

01:36And it's like, no.

01:38Kind of.

01:38We're a soap girl.

01:39We're rocks.

01:40I almost said rock styles.

01:41No, we're a rock band.

01:43Sorry.

01:43That is so arrogant.

01:44I don't know if you see we have personalized soap girl merchandise.

01:50So we'll give you a tour of the van right now.

01:52So, okay.

01:53You have all the essentials like to charge things off.

01:56Pajama has this thingy.

01:57He's really good at it.

01:58We asked them why and they started laughing.

02:00I think guys are really good.

02:01Yeah, because it's so weird.

02:03We don't want to know.

02:04Anyway, we have this cute little thingy Mababa here.

02:07Little piggy.

02:08They made it after my sister.

02:10Replica.

02:11Joking.

02:12It doesn't work.

02:14Tylenol.

02:15You got all kinds of glasses.

02:16You want to see something terrible.

02:17Look how bad this is.

02:19Yo.

02:20Say hello to your mother for me, man.

02:22Yeah.

02:23I see your mother.

02:24We have water repellent, rain eggs.

02:26In South Africa, we don't get this, by the way.

02:28This is really cool.

02:29When I first saw this, I was like, holy shit.

02:31This is like, it's a miracle.

02:33We also have some furry friends because we miss the baboons.

02:36Where we stay in South Africa, we have baboons that visit our garden.

02:40So yeah.

02:40This five hour energy thing if you're driving long horse.

02:43I don't drive, neither does she.

02:44So.

02:45Imagine we pulled out some alcohol and we're like, you know, whiskey for the road?

02:48No.

02:49No, what else do we have in here?

02:50We got some tour boots.

02:52They fucked my feet up real bad.

02:54Like, I don't know if you can see here.

02:55But there's like a big ass nasty bruise.

02:57Yeah.

02:58These are my ones.

03:00Gotta get your sparkle on.

03:01Oh, if you want to taste something that's really gross.

03:05Taste this.

03:07We're not sponsored by them.

03:09It's called Sasquatch juice.

03:11It's really healthy, but it tastes like very healthy.

03:14Like a Sasquatch's asshole.

03:16Yeah.

03:16Not so good.

03:17Also, I don't smoke often, but when I do, it's glamour.

03:20Gotta keep your classy man.

03:22Okay, I'm joking.

03:22I'm talking shit.

03:23I know, I'm talking absolute shit.

03:25Sam is phenomenal.

03:26She is dynamite.

03:28And you know that saying, dynamite comes in small packages?

03:31So she's a small package of anything.

03:33Yeah.

03:33Dynamite.

03:33Yeah.

03:33She is phenomenal.

03:35She's our manager.

03:36And she does like all the tour designs, merchandise designs.

03:39They're insane.

03:40She does all the driving.

03:42She, yeah, she organizes everything.

03:44She's amazing.

03:44She's the most unconventional, but kick-ass person you'll ever meet.

03:48She fucking rocks.

03:49Yeah.

03:49And we have the utmost respect for her.

03:51Also, I was going to say why we don't drive ourselves.

03:54I keep failing my driver's test.

03:56So we would die.

03:57And apparently, um, well according to the driving instructor, he said don't ever drive

04:01and he quit.

04:02So, um, yeah.

04:04Yeah.

04:04That was pretty sad.

04:06Sort of.

04:07Yeah.

04:07Also in South Africa, we drive on the opposite side of the road.

04:10So it's kind of scary.

04:11And I would never dare to drive here.

04:12The driving is insane in the USA.

04:15And also we're sweating.

04:16Do you know how hot?

04:17It's humid, but I love it.

04:18How many degrees is it?

04:19In, I was going to say, in our kind of place, 31.

04:23But here in Fahrenheit, like 80 something.

04:25Damn.

04:26Who the fuck knows this Fahrenheit is?

04:28I don't know.

04:28Yeah, it fucks your hair up.

04:29Yeah.

04:30And now.

04:31No!

04:32Okay, yeah.

04:33Let's open this.

04:33This is where it gets fucked up.

04:36Okay.

04:37Well, the trouble is, so when we go on tour, we are away for like seven, eight months sometimes.

04:44Oh, yeah.

04:44So you need to live out of your backpack and whatever else you can just stuff into the car.

04:49And I feel like we kind of hoard.

04:51So it's like orders on the road.

04:53Yeah.

04:54By the way, a lot of our other stuff is out there itself.

04:56So you know that this is actually usually way more like full.

04:59My sister insists, show them the fucking hula hoop.

05:01I fucking love this hula hoop.

05:03You're just jealous.

05:04You're jealous.

05:04She never uses it.

05:05I don't know why.

05:06Because it hits me in the back of the head.

05:07She gets rage.

05:08Okay.

05:08And she's like, I'm going to fucking burn that thing.

05:10Watch me.

05:11I've got to stay fit on this tour.

05:12I've got to work myself.

05:14I've got to do the moves.

05:16I love this thing.

05:17So when you go to a gas station, you have to stay in Chicago and say, watch where you're

05:20walking.

05:20I'm hula hooping here.

05:22Move it.

05:22Get the fuck out the way.

05:23I can't walk in the hula hoop.

05:25Oh.

05:25Oh God.

05:26We've got...

05:27It's a good workout.

05:28It's weighted.

05:29Actually fucking hurts.

05:31Okay.

05:32So this stuff, it's from Thailand.

05:36It's like a smelling bomb.

05:38Yeah.

05:38Do you want to try some?

05:39You sure?

05:39No.

05:40It's like menthol.

05:41Like opens up the chest.

05:42Yeah.

05:43Man, what are you doing?

05:44I told you.

05:44Quit that.

05:46So it's like this.

05:47I'll be sitting here.

05:48Okay.

05:48She sits there.

05:50And bear in mind, there's five people crammed into this van.

05:53Okay.

05:55My sister's sitting here.

05:56Okay.

05:58And then Brian, he is on this tour with us and he's doing merch.

06:02We met him in Japan.

06:03He's fucking cool.

06:04He sits here.

06:06And Anton, the drummer, sits there.

06:08Sam in the driver's seat.

06:10And then the van will start to pile up as we go with more and more shit.

06:15There will be stuff hanging up here, hitting us in the head.

06:18When anyone breaks fast and punches you, it's kind of funny.

06:21Also, our fans are really, really sweet.

06:22So they'll bring gifts.

06:24And then sometimes it's like, oh shit, where are we going to put it?

06:26And then also every now and again, when we have a day off, we go into a Goodwill

06:30and we buy some weird shit that we probably shouldn't have bought.

06:33I don't know.

06:34Like a massage chair, like seat thing.

06:36And then we're like, why are we doing this to ourselves?

06:38There's also like compartments under the seat and there's like a charging thing under this.

06:43If you can lift it up.

06:44We've got a Polaroid camera in here.

06:47Wait, there we go.

06:48That's pretty nifty.

06:49Oh, look, there's a...

06:50We've got a knife in here.

06:53A Hello Kitty.

06:53I think this is from last year though.

06:55Yeah, I wouldn't need it.

06:56Yeah.

06:56So we own this van.

06:58Renting a van is actually in a really crazy way, way more expensive over the course of a tour.

07:03So we saved and we put everything into buying this van and...

07:08So we own this van.

07:09It's our van.

07:10It's our property.

07:11We've all pissed down here.

07:12It's our van.

07:13No, I'm just kidding.

07:14But it's our van.

07:15But also a really cool guy called Tom.

07:17He...

07:18Tom House.

07:19He did the...

07:20What's it called?

07:21We've got a guy with this whole like section for us because otherwise the merch and the gear

07:26was all getting like tangled up.

07:27And also it's safer.

07:28There's like a security like door at the back.

07:31Because that's one thing like when you're touring, obviously you don't ever want to wake

07:34up and see like the van burgled or it would be so bad.

07:38Like it would be so shit.

07:39And then also you've got to have anti-acids on the tour.

07:43You've got to have some healthy food.

07:45I mean this is what I've had for two days.

07:47Feet on the road, man.

07:48Yeah.

07:49A black banana.

07:50Looking luscious.

07:52Um...

07:53Oh, these are really handy.

07:54Oh, plasters.

07:55You never know.

07:56Anyone could get a cut.

07:57These are really handy.

07:58They're like...

07:59Peabags.

08:00For emergency.

08:01I tried using one.

08:03I tried using one.

08:03It is a piece of shit.

08:04And I pissed all over my stuff and it was just not good.

08:08Yeah.

08:08Just keep it in.

08:09Keep it in.

08:10And otherwise we have...

08:12And also the cool thing about this van is if you're hungry or...

08:15You can find snacks.

08:16You can find anything in this.

08:17I mean...

08:18If you just look around you'll find anything.

08:19No guarantee that it's going to be fresh but you're going to find something.

08:22You can eat something.

08:24Yeah.

08:24100%.

08:25And then also Sam insists on pillows because she says that sleep is the most important thing.

08:30So...

08:30She fucking ate these pillows.

08:32Dude, you're so cranky.

08:33Because the car gets cranky she's like...

08:34I ate your hulu.

08:35I ate your pillows.

08:36Don't punch it.

08:37And then she like punches them.

08:38And I'm like...

08:39Because it gets in the way.

08:41It doesn't.

08:41It's there.

08:42It's a comfort fucking pillow.

08:43Would you take it away from me?

08:45Dude, you're so mean.

08:47No.

08:47Okay.

08:47And then we have like wigs and stage stuff everywhere.

08:51And then this.

08:52Oh my god.

08:52That thing hits me in the head every day.

08:54It's for like migraines and like it's a...

08:57It's a red light therapy helmet.

09:00Yeah.

09:00But sometimes she's driving and you can see people are like...

09:03What the fuck?

09:03She's wearing a helmet in the car.

09:05What an idiot.

09:08But it helps out.

09:09And then...

09:09Yeah.

09:10You deal with a lot of fucked up road rage like from other people on the road.

09:14Oh look.

09:15We have more gifts.

09:17So...

09:17Fans are really, really sweet.

09:19And this kind of stuff really helps on the road.

09:21It's amazing.

09:22I even got a face cloth.

09:24Oh!

09:24This is her one.

09:25This is my one.

09:26So...

09:26We had a joke once because on a live stream...

09:29I have...

09:30Everyone has their like own personal face cloths.

09:33But my family for some reason was using my face cloth as a toilet paper.

09:38And I went to wipe or wash my face and I was like what the fuck guys.

09:42And everyone was like yeah.

09:44You should say for pee.

09:45Or...

09:45Yo, you guys used it when you pissed.

09:47And I had to wash my face with a fucking fan who pissed.

09:50That's why your skin looks so great.

09:52Fuck you.

09:53No.

09:53What the fuck man.

09:55So a fan like they jokingly made a face cloths with our names.

09:59So that no one will ever use my face cloth as a pee rag.

10:04Thank you for that.

10:05And then you got after bites stuff.

10:08I don't know for...

10:09Okay.

10:09Spider bites.

10:10Mosquito bites.

10:11You got strings.

10:12Sometimes red bugs flying.

10:13Yeah.

10:14Yeah.

10:15Can I tell you a funny story once?

10:17We were working with a drummer that wasn't very nice.

10:21And flies kept coming into the van.

10:23And I was like I'm telling you now this is a sign of the devil.

10:27She said dude flies are a sign of decay and death.

10:30And like there's something evil about him.

10:33And then I realized actually there was a bag.

10:35It was hanging there like on this little hook.

10:37I don't know.

10:37It was like a bag of potatoes.

10:39We were gonna cook them but we forgot them.

10:41And every time the door would slam that gets more squashed.

10:44It smelled like fish and manure.

10:45It smelled like...

10:46But the flies were coming for the potatoes not the guy in the front.

10:49Yeah.

10:50I don't know how we all sat there with it like fermenting near our noses though.

10:54I think the one day when I was cleaning the van then I was like oh my god what is

10:57that?

10:57And then I realized oh shit okay that's why.

11:00Yeah.

11:00He wasn't...

11:01Well he was evil but yeah.

11:03Yeah.

11:03Oh my god dude.

11:04Just a bad energy.

11:06Yeah.

11:07Yeah.

11:08That's the van for now.

11:09At the end of this tour this van is going to be insane.

11:14Like you won't see the floor.

11:17You won't be able to see anything.

11:17Like when you want to sleep then you just have to sleep like this.

11:20Everyone squashed.

11:21Everyone's like this.

11:22Like you're on a plane.

11:24Or to get some exercise you just lift your legs.

11:28It hurts.

11:29You just like cramped.

11:30By the time you get out the van you're like oh it hurts.

11:33But yeah we're very happy and thankful to be on the road.

11:36And we're so glad that this is our tour van.

11:38We always laugh because it was Ryan Roxy.

11:43He has a really cool big tour bus.

11:46And then one day we sent him a video saying hi from inside the thing.

11:50And he was like oh.

11:50So obviously Alice Cooper and like everyone they've got their like whole big bus.

11:54And then when he sent us a video back we were like you fucking assholes.

11:57Bastards.

11:59And check this this is meant to be a skipping road.

12:03It looks really odd.

12:05There's another piece.

12:06Yeah it just looks really odd.

12:08It's a weighted skipping road.

12:09And then.

12:10Oh god.

12:11Where's Miss Piggy?

12:12Oh she's here.

12:13We always have puppets with us as well.

12:16Gotta keep yourself amused.

12:18Hello kissy kissy.

12:20My voice is a little bit too fucked up right now to do it properly.

12:23But okay.

12:24Let's head to the back.

12:26Head to the back.

12:27Head to the back of the van.

12:28Oh freedom.

12:30And they had to steal the boots.

12:32Oh my god.

12:33I love that.

12:34Yeah.

12:34And that's Brian.

12:36Hey.

12:37What's up?

12:38And that's Sam.

12:39Hey.

12:39Hello Sam.

12:41Oh dear.

12:42Oh this is Sam.

12:43She's our manager.

12:43We were talking about you.

12:44Were you?

12:45Yeah.

12:46Good things on this.

12:47Okay.

12:47This is the back.

12:50So this is the splitter thing that we were talking about.

12:52So it's all gathered and loaded up.

12:54Like the guitars.

12:56Drums.

12:56And all the amps go out here.

12:58Musical equipment here.

12:59Merch.

13:00And everything in here.

13:03It's a lot.

13:04It's a lot.

13:05Yeah.

13:06And there's a cool poster.

13:07Yeah.

13:08Oh my god.

13:09And life it blows away.

13:11So Sam does all the designs and everything.

13:14She makes it possible that we can tour.

13:17Otherwise hell no.

13:29We can't help the loadout now but normally.

13:32Yeah.

13:34Everyone's grabbing something.

13:35Yeah.

13:36Team effort.

13:37It has to be a team.

13:38I mean that's what makes touring so cool when you have a great team.

13:42Yeah.

13:43Because it's already.

13:44Touring is not.

13:44It's fun.

13:46You gotta really love what you do.

13:47But if it's like.

13:49If you're surrounded by people that.

13:51People that are selfish or don't actually give a fuck.

13:53It doesn't work.

13:54Because it can get hard.
