From Jeff Lamm “1987 Half Life from Pittsburgh, the plywood compartment for gear left a little sleeping area above. We went to CA and back with 6 guys packed in it. Always left a person sleeping with the gear, that sucked. From left to right: Mike LaVella, Damon Che’ (above) , Vince Curtis and Me.”

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.”

Was going to be released, but then the guy with the label disappeared. It’s Fred, Carlo, me on guitar, John Wall on bass, Josh LaRue on electric piano, and Justin Wierbonski on drums.

From @mrjameswall “The other Fuse ❤️”
What he is referring to is that I was in a “Fuse” too before we became Admiral. We even had t-shirts!

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.”

From @bonesofbrundage ““Schlong’s first van, "Maude" was a 1977 silver Ford Econoline custom 150. We did at least 5 tours in that. Then in 94 we bought a white 1989 Ford Econoline 350.

Big ass blow-out in Louisiana (hexxed by the spirit of Stevie Nicks for savaging her music lol)”

From @destroy_joy “TONGUE PARTY One of many nights spent in a parking lot fixing our van Evil Emily. After a trip over the Appalachian Mountains and limping our way to Kansas City we were sick with carbon monoxide poisoning. We ditched Emily in Missouri and finished the tour in a different van.”
