LE TOURBUS

From 15 to 27 November '03 this Dodge 4 litre diesel bus was the touring home of 10,000 THINGS, their tour manager and their sound man. 

Just a few evenings before the tour started, the bus and the band were sheltering under a railway arch in Leeds repainting the previously white bus, when two special(?) constables from the British Transport Police told them they'd had information that there was a bomb on the bus and that the bus must be driven away from the railway immediately. The bus was moved........ out into the rain which, as you can imagine, did no good at all to the un-dried paintwork.

A rider on the Things' contract stipulated vegan food be provided for the band. Though this had been ignored, or very shabbily dealt with by many venues, The Roadhouse excelled and provided so very much top quality vegan stew that the band took the leftovers with them to eat next day.
