ROAD DIARIES

Pit- stop purchases Lawrie-Winfield: “Cigarettes, a lighter and some nuts to counter the lack of fruit and veg that a diet of backstage tortilla chips and dip provides.” On-the-road grooming Gordon: “I use this lovely Tree Ranger beard oil. It smells like tea tree.” Midnight munchies Gordon: “Driving from New York to Toronto last night, we tried to Yelp somewhere, but the only thing open was a Wendy’s drive-through. We couldn’t even sit to enjoy the environment!” Family circusWall: “James is ‘band mom.’ He texts us to make sure we’ve got our passports. I have to make sure the equipment is packed just right. Pete is just messy as fuck.” Drivetime entertainment Lawrie-Winfield: “I listen to podcasts—The Moth, NPR, anything soothing.” Gordon: “I load up my iPad with, like, The New Yorker, but I end up dozing.” Wall: “I just look.” Gordon: “It’s true. Basically you meditate for six hours.” ■
