Bass Kleph's Hounds Of Hell Tour Diary

Aussie expats (who now live in L.A.) Bass Kleph and Tommy Trash are on tour around the US and we got this special love letter from the road from the Kleph himself. Check out what antics he's up to as the tour cruises across the U S of A.

I fucking love bus tours! This is my first one and I'm hooked! I'm touring all around America and Canada with Wolfgang Gartner and Tommy Trash. We're seven shows deep in a 25-show tour and I already feel like it's going too fast. Our buses are basically a luxury apartment on wheels! Our crew is super nice and every night they build an incredible stage and lighting rig for us. On top of this, the shows are huuuuge! Here's a few pics I snapped along the way.

Here's me dropping bombs and pointing to the sky at Epic in Minneapolis.

Deciding which kicks to bring on tour. #DJproblems

Here's the bunks and main bedroom of our bus. I was kinda preparing to rough it, but bus living is actually super comfortable!

Tommy Trash checkin' the equipment at Fox Theatre in Oakland.

We cook almost every meal on the road. Here's our fridge stocked with plenty of healthy food! #HoundsOfHealth

Second show on the tour to a packed out Fox Theatre in Oakland.

Hair caught in motion. Nobody can headbang like Tommy Trash.

First day off and I was forced to stay in a luxury suite in Seattle…

I only stay in hotels that supply a rubber ducky.

One of my favourite things I've been cooking on the bus. Satay chicken & broccoli with quinoa salad and guacamole. #HoundsOfHealth

I took this shot when we were driving through the mountains near Banff in Canada. Kinda wish I brought my snowboard!

Tommy and I working on music before show in Calgary, Canada.

Part of the light show at Epic in Minneapolis. Wait till you see the full stage live!

Here's a group of legends that posed for a quick snap while partying at the show in Minneapolis.

Our opening DJ, and very talented producer, young Charlie Darker outside Fox Theatre in Oakland.

An awesome way to start the tour! This was me at our first show in LA. It was so dope to play such a great show in my new hometown.

He may be called Tommy Trash, but he's actually a super healthy guy. We regularly stop at Whole Foods to stock the bus with good, healthy cooking supplies.

This was in the same building as the venue in Edmonton. I love Canada.

Everyone had these glowing glasses in Edmonton. Tommy is in the middle. Can you pick out the other two?
