Tito Picon - Suicide Silence/ Darkest Hour - S1 EP9

Tito Picon - Suicide Silence/ Darkest Hour - S1 EP9

Author: Conni and Vicky November 29, 2022 Duration: 42:58
In this episode we welcome Tito Picon - all the way from Texas, where, according to him, they have some of the best burritos in the world! He‘s been working as a tourmanager for over 25 years and he‘s also a self-taught and really amazing light designer. You can find him on the road with bands like Darkest Hour and Suicide Silence. This episode is filled with poop stories (even more than usual) and gives a pretty good overview of the differences between tour- and production management ☺️ We also talk about celebrity lookalikes (sorry Vicky!) and about the moments we knew that being part of the music touring world was our calling.

Forget the myth of endless backstage parties. The real story of life on tour is told in vans, at truck stops, and during the strange, quiet hours between cities. On the RoadCast-Snacks, Trucks and Rock'n'Roll pulls back the curtain on the live music world, hosted by Conni and Vicky, who’ve lived it. This isn't a polished fairytale; it's the gritty, funny, and often absurd reality of making shows happen. You'll hear about the logistical nightmares, like band members accidentally abandoned at an airport, and the surreal moments, like dealing with unexpected roadkill on a lonely highway. It’s about the camaraderie forged over shared bags of chips in a cramped vehicle and the small triumphs that happen far from the stage lights. Each episode feels like a conversation in the tour van, unpacking the true ups and downs that define the journey. Tune in for a podcast that trades glamour for genuine stories, where the rock'n'roll is in the spirit of the adventure, not just the soundtrack.
