EXCLUSIVE: KRUM BUMS Launch Tour Blog


Krum Bums Just days away from the start of their tour with TOXIC HOLOCAUST, KRUM BUMS frontman Dave Tejas kicked off his exclusive tour blog at The Gauntlet.

With only 4 days until we begin our adventurous tour, I begin to think to myself, "Holy fuck, I'm about to leave for over seven weeks and I have nothing done yet". So, like every traveling musician, I do the most logical thing… Instead of packing, resting and preparing, I find myself drunk at the bar every night. A musician's mind does not work the same way as the rest of society. Normal people think, "I'm hungry, so I will eat”, "I am tired. I will rest." Musicians think, "I am tired. I should drink", "I am hungry. I need a drink". ...And we always think that we have more time than we truly do. Scramble, scramble, scramble. Fuck, most important thing… multiple pairs of socks and underdraws. These are known as throwaways. When you're done, they end in the trash... never to be seen again. Toothpaste and a towel, 5 t-shirts, 2 pairs of jeans and a hoodie. More than enough for 7 weeks. Now, hit the STD clinic. Goal is to come back with nothing more than you already have. Rubbers and peanut butter.
