Get To Know : The Tubs

You’re midway through your US tour - give us your pre-gig ritual?

Owen does his little vocal warm ups, Dan does 1000 Russian press ups, Taylor does memory exercises and Devon does positive and negative affirmations to get a perfect balance going 

What’s The Tubs’ motto?

Bring back hanging

What’s the best bit of gossip from the Gob Nation crew right now?

Sion Thomas just won a bafta but that’s not gossip we are just so proud of him! The real gossip is that Max and Georgie have designed a new pattern

Ideal day off while on tour?

Dan: Supercar experience 

Owen: finding a court trial to sit in on

Taylor: Lay down all day and watch YouTube 

Devon: Same as Taylor just chilling out on the couch 

Which Tub would survive longest on a desert island (and who’d be the first to go)?

Taylor would be dead first followed by Owen then Devon, Dan would survive and thrive! He is from York after all. Dan also wanted us to add a bit about owen not having a sweet tooth and spell out the joke by saying he doesn’t like desserts but we got into an argument about wether or not we should spell the joke out like that or keep it subtle

What’s a song you wish you’d written?

Owen: Austin Powers theme tune

Dan: Grease by Frankie Valli

Taylor: Amarillo by Tony Christie (written by Neil Sedaka and there’s a amazing version of them doing this together on YouTube)

Devon: Since K Got Over Me by The Clientele 

Go-to tour van album?

We don’t listen to much music we usually watch every episode of peep show as it’s all on YouTube or we listen to audio books and top 50 scariest conspiracy videos.
