The Eli Young band spends a lot of their life on their tour bus but they don’t mind too much because Jon Jones says, “We’re lucky at this day and age. There’s so much on the bus you can do. We’ve got Playstation in the front Xbox in the back. We’ve got satellite, we’ve got internet. You can stream movies. If you’re bored, you’re just not tryin’.”
Mike Eli agrees and he adds that catching up on sleep is one of their favorite past times when they’re on the bus. He says, “It’s been really nice too, bein’ on the bus is our actual time to catch up on that. But, you know, back when we were in a van and trailer, those were the times that boredom really took over, but bein’ on a bus you have to really work hard to be bored.”
Eli Young Band will release their brand new single, “Turn It On,” on March 10th.

Mike Eli – “Yah, these days we haven’t gotten a whole lot a sleep, but it’s been really nice to, bein’ on the bus is our actual time to catch up on that.
