Summer is high season for concert tours. Bands travel to Instagram fests like Bonnaroo, in the wilds of Tennessee, and old standbys like Glastonbury, in England. And of course there’s always a sweaty bar to play.

There are myriad options for getting there (Uber, Mom and Dad’s Su baru, road trip!), but how do the stars make it? In grand style, apparently, or at least in their own style.

Here, two bands talk about life on the road and the pleasures of a home that travels with you.

Screaming Females are an indie rock band from New Brunswick, N.J., who have toured all over the world (they recently returned from Australia and New Zealand). This month, the band is back on the road in North America, driving themselves to gigs in their van.
