Man Overboard are currently out on the Pop Punk The Vote Tour with Handguns, Seahaven, and Candy Hearts. The band’s merch guy and great friend to the site, Dominic Varacallo, will be doing a Road Blog for PropertyOfZack and Man Overboard to keep fans updated from the road. Check out the first update below and come back for more in the future!

From Dominic Varacallo:

Hey everyone, this is Dom checking in from the “POP PUNK THE VOTE TOUR”.  I’m currently writing to you from a quiet hotel room in Ft. Lauderdale listening to the new Menzingers album, while Wayne & our friend Joe are asleep.  The rest of the members of Man Overboard are gallivanting around south Florida.

We are about a week into the tour, and it has been amazing so far. This is a really exciting time for the band, as it is their first ever headlining US tour, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it. The tour also features our old pals in HANDGUNS, as well as our new friends SEAHAVEN, and CANDY HEARTS. All the bands have been playing amazing sets, so be sure to come out early!

A typical day in the life of the traveling merch manager for Man Overboard consists of being harassed by Nik Bruzzesse while trying to sleep, bumming smokes to Zac Eisenstein, laughing hysterically at James Corbi while he yells random things out the window of the van to people like “BOZO PHOBIA!!” and going over business with “man of the year” Justin Collier. Also, I keep track of all of the rad t-shirts and sweat shirts you guys are buying up!
