From @parallelstatesband “The van is the bass player’s van and he converted it into a camper, he’s a legend at woodwork and turning vans into campers.
We were outside a practice studio in Nottingham UK 🇬🇧 and needed new pictures.
We are a punk band with a 90s style and sound.”

From @halfglassofrum “Meet our van “The Michael”. Viking Viking Viking on tour summer 2012. A Walmart somewhere in Pennsylvania. When it’s too hot in the van to sleep. He lasted us a few runs until he could run no more. He was burned ceremoniously for our local fire department to train on.”

From @cennamowoodwinds “No van in this photo, but we are using maps.
It is remarkable how powerful the nostalgia is for the time before Google maps.
This is me and John Wall planning a route in England.
Can't remember the club this was at, but it was 1999 The Boom tour. We opened for Fugazi.”
