I really like these behind the scenes videos. Knowing how much work goes into everything, lets me appreciate a show even more. I hope you have a great tour and a lot of fun!
Holy. Thanks for the great insight into touring! I found your channel through the Mary Spender video, as many have, but while checking out your music I realised I've been listening to "The Irish Pub Song" in my favourite rock club since 2012! Hoping to catch you on the upcoming tour! Thanks for the great content, keep it up! :)
Man, huge kudos for your videos! You are putting into a fun video format what I imagine the old books of booking your own DIY punk band would have been (admittedly, I haven't read those... have just heard of them). Rock on! Hope you guys have a great tour.

Mike, these videos are super interesting, so thanks for putting them out! We played with my band (Teresa Banks) at Punk Rock Holiday the same year The Rumjacks played and your gig was awesome!! Keep these videos coming!
Oh hell yeah! That was my first show with The Rumjacks, so I was nervous as hell! It was also the first big show since covid had started so I think everybody at that festival was just completely ready to party. Hope to see you guys around!
Nice insight! I never expected it to be this DIY while being on a label. I hope the vinyl will be ready on time. Don't pour soap in your moka express and finish that backdrop! ;-) #teamcoffee
@@MikeRivkees great! And great tip about the silence killer, using samples in between songs! That's a thing we have to deal with, to keep the flow going.. might use this as well 🙂
Great video man. Really entertaining and cool. Never trying too hard and naff. Will Check out your band now…. I’m Irish so the judgement will be haaaaard!!!!
Hah the first song that will pop up is one called "An Irish Pub Song" but I need to flag that it's a sarcastic jab at the cartoonization of Irish pub culture. It eh... get's misinterpreted 99% of the time. Your channel is great, subbed!
@@MikeRivkees interesting man. I’m sure you get Dropkick Murphy’s all the time. But it’s way less acoustic and more there’s saturated guitar stuff going on. I find the accent of the singer really interesting too. Is he American or Irish? God I’m so envious of going on tour around Europe. Even if the opportunity presented itself I’m too old with too many commitments. It was always a dream. Kudos to you guys for making it happen. Here’s my band: TH-cam.com/@kampalaband if you are ever looking for a Support in Ireland hit us up. Though I’m not sure whether you get to make those decisions when you are in a label? Best of luck with the tour. Massive kudos again.
Hmm wierd. Anyway what I was saying was, first off thx so much for the kind words about my channel. Appreciate it. Secondly I’m sure any preconceptions about Irish pubs are multiplied by 1000 here compared to the rest of the world. Thoygh worth mentioning that no one can afford to drink in a pub here anymore! The band is really good. I can hear dropkick Murphy’s obviously but where as they are Trad with an element of rock I think you guys are rock with an element of trad. It’s actually pretty different even within the same genre. My band is Kampala. We’re alt pop/rock. Interested to hear your thoughts. TH-cam.com/@kampalaband. Not massively active on YT insta is better for developing interest in Ireland. Lastly, I am sooooo envious about your European tour. I’m to old with too much responsibility to do it now. Even if the opportunity ever came up. It takes a massive amount of work to get where you are. Massive kudos. In the band and the channel. Fair play to you. Ever in Ireland hit us up, we’ll open for you. Though I’m not sure we’d be a good fit stylistically!!
Really interesting video! So, the label only handles the ads (the easiest thing imho)? Would be really interesting to see how you work with them apart from that!
We do decent in Dublin, but haven't toured there too much. In general, they're just kind of puzzled as to why we're interested in Irish music to begin with. Although three of us are Irish citizens, myself included hah.
Initially, there was a show in Copenhagen, but that ended up falling through. I’m not sure why. Never heard any details about why it didn’t happen. 🤷♂️
@ Ah, also not sure. Pretty long drive for the van to get all the way to England and then do a ferry or tunnel crossing. Also will be a huge adjustment going from Spanish food to English hahaha kidding
@@joshmorgan6036 well in the future weeks I’m gonna have a ton of videos showing us on stage looking like we are living it up, so I think it’s at least interesting to show the less glamorous side
“…however they won’t let us bring that on the plane…” 😆

Wow! There's tons of stuff to do! Thanks for detailing everything. Can't wait to see the tour content!
I'm happy for you and wish the best for you and the band amigo!😎👍✨

@moonshinebrigade just got word that the backdrop arrived!

Proper Tea 👍
Yes but I'm so sorry about my pronunciation of Yorkshire. I have since learned.
Looking forward to seeing you in Antwerp
Great stuff Mike! Cheers!!
My god, you come to Oviedo! This is where I live. Nice! And in a venue that I played with my band. Nice venue by the way.
Ahh I love Oviedo! Can’t wait to get there. Let me know if you feel like coming to the show!
Thanks for making this - this is so educational. Also I’ve been listening to your music for a while but never knew anything else about the band. 😂
Wow 🌟 thanx for detailing so intresting loving this ❤
Good luck with the tour!
Loving this channel mate! I can vouch for how hard it is to keep up with TH-cam and touring 😂
Thanks, wasn't sure if people would be interested in this stuff. I'll check your channel out!
Charles Trippy is one who still tours and vlogs it.
And he has the record for vlogging 10 years straight.
Hoping to have these problems myself some day 😃Love from Medford, MA
MEDFORD?! Half my entire family is from Medford. My mother grew up right off of the fells!
Coffee buzz.
*WAIT! I though the busses in Europe are double decker's and can have up to 16 bunks!*
@@officialpoa3171 oh yeah those are way more money. We can’t afford those hahah
Yep! and two mini bars plus a full kitchen and 2 lounges, one downstairs and one upstairs. EU has the best tour buses in the world.
Really interesting video! So, the label only handles the ads (the easiest thing imho)? Would be really interesting to see how you work with them apart from that!
Can confirm, am Australian and I get cranky without my beer >:(
Really informative. What footswitch do you use to trigger the sample?
Do you guys ever tour in Ireland or is there some mismatch there?
We do decent in Dublin, but haven't toured there too much. In general, they're just kind of puzzled as to why we're interested in Irish music to begin with. Although three of us are Irish citizens, myself included hah.
Why 3 days break between UK and Europe?
Initially, there was a show in Copenhagen, but that ended up falling through. I’m not sure why. Never heard any details about why it didn’t happen. 🤷♂️
@ Thanks, it is also between Europe and UK? Is that due to customs?
@ Ah, also not sure. Pretty long drive for the van to get all the way to England and then do a ferry or tunnel crossing. Also will be a huge adjustment going from Spanish food to English hahaha kidding

So you have a member who lives in Italy…what part of the world are you in?
@@williamwelch1513 I’m in Providence, Rhode Island. But then we also have members in Lowell, Belfast, Berlin, and Vienna
Who is watching your dog?
Yeah Camden 21st Feb 👍
Ssssh black heart round the corner or Dev just up the road are better bars.....
SO STOKED! I love Camden
This feels ridiculously honest. I feel like you’re saying the quiet part out loud. I don’t feel like we should know half of this stuff.
