Welcome to our fun new column called "Don't Go On Tour Without It." Each month we'll feature a different band letting us know what the essentials are on tour.  The answers may surprise you!

 

This month we caught up with The Frantic who told us what they always must have on the road.

 

1) Your favorite pillow and blanket:

Most of your sleep will be spent in your van and you will want it to feel like home.

 

2) Baby powder, baby wipes, deodorant and cologne:

Showers are scarce.  This will cover for it.

 

3) Very few clothes:

When you find somewhere to sleep after the show, the last thing you will want to do is carry four suitcases of clothes.

 

4) Your wallet:

You probably should not go anywhere without it, especially a cross-country tour.

 

5) A blowup doll:

Who knows when you might see your girlfriend again.

 

Check out The Frantic’s debut album, Audio & Murder which is in stores now.  The band will log countless hours on the road, so catch them when they’re in your town!  Check out our full interview with The Frantic at www.popularunderground.com.
