Sounds pretty good actually. But calling your Smack is not good if you have some sort of international career in mind. I can't even imagine the things these guys had to go through when dealing with customs..,
@@biocykle They must have had a hard time going though customs when on tour though. You know, the name kinda implies the they're carrying some extra luggage besides their guitars.
@@biocykle Most bands have some stickers, logos and stuff on their guitar cases etc. I had when I was on tour with different bands at least. And when a bunch of longhaired dudes in skinny jeans (or tight leather pants) and black leather jackets show up it's really not that hard to guess what their profession is. The customs people are not say something like: "Oh, so you're travelling accountants. I guess this guitar case with secret compartments belongs to somebody else then". If they're on an official tour they're also going to need work permits/visas and those are going say what the band is called. I guess you could try to sneak in on a regular tourist visa if you're not keen on paying taxes and answering questions. But you're going to get deported if customs find out and it would necessitate sourcing gear locally which is not an optimal solution (you could if it's fly-in for a one off show though)
