Brief description of your job:
I babysit five very gay vampires and their crew. Sometimes I change Nicks bass strings and polish his bass. I also sometimes tune his bass.
( a professional response to this question would be) I tour manage Aiden, I wake up early make sure all the gear gets loaded into the venue, set up our guest list, organize interviews and photo shoots, make sure the band gets everything they need (food water towels etc etc), Make sure the crew is happy (bread and water), Make sure the band gets onstage at the right time and off at the right time, Make sure all the gear gets back in the trailer, I spend most of the day on the phone making sure things are being taken care ahead of time. I also collect the bands payment every night as well as sell merch to give Troy a break, I make sure that the bus gets paid for every week and that our driver has parking and directions to the next venue.
I also am Nick's Bass Tech, I set up his bass rig every day, make sure everything is working properly and that he has a bass tone that he likes. I make sure his basses are strung, tuned, and intonated..and not to mention shiny as ********. I also tend to catch his bass guitar every night at the end of Die Romantic, i have done this approx 145 times and dropped only one. (at the time of this interview) I also make sure he has picks and water and a towel when he goes on stage.
