On The Bus With Anberlin

Welcome to Young Hollywood. com.

All right, uh we're Amberlin and we're going on to our tour bus. We've turned our bus into a winter wonderland. Here it is, we got some tinsel and we each have stockings. So now we're in the bunk area and uh we got junk bunks and we got Pig and his bug. Hey, Pig. And so the back is where we uh play Halo, we link with other buses and it's pretty sweet. We got this little wireless thing here. Now we're playing Wii.

So you guys have toured with Fall Out Boy, Yellow Card, My Chemical Romance. Tonight, you're headlining. What does it feel like?

It's different, I mean, especially when you headline. I mean, it all eyes are on you. Everybody's there kind of staring at you and you're scared and like, man, they pay, I can't believe people would pay money to see me.
