Mission Workshop x Tycho // LUCID

On The Road With Tycho from Mission Workshop on Vimeo.

imageimageimageimage“At first glance, the life of a touring musician can seem wildly glamorous: Late nights, different cities, fans that adore you…But look a little deeper and you’ll see that the reality of life on the road is very much to the contrary. Though there are good times to be had, the majority of a touring musician’s life is spent in transition. Transition from city to city, venue to venue, and hotel to hotel.

Mission Workshop and FILTER Magazine went on tour with San Francisco audio/visual artist Tycho, to capture this consuming experience. In an effort to make the travels more tolerable, we outfitted Tycho with full sets of bags and apparel for each of the band members. The documentation of the travel between the shows and snapshots Tycho’s live performance captured just prior to the 2014 Awake tour, became a photo collection we call, Lucid.” – MW

You want an example of the Ride x Create vibe… there you have it! Rad stories like these are one of the many reasons I heart Mission Workshop.

Go to Mission Workshop and check out the full story with other rad shots.

Mission Workshop / Tycho / FILTER Magazine

This is a pretty rad combo!  I love how Mission Workshop connects with so may different folks to test and review their products. It shows how functional these Made in USA bags are. Cycling, traveling, commuting… MW nails it.

Tycho x Mission“We teamed up with FILTER Magazine and went on tour with San Francisco audio/visual artist Tycho, to document how Mission Workshop gear works in the world of the touring musician. At first glance, the idea of being on tour can seem wildly glamorous:  Late nights, different cities, fans that adore you…But look a little deeper and you’ll see that the reality of life on the road is very much to the contrary.  Though there are good times to be had, the majority of a touring musician’s life is spent in transition. Transition from city to city, venue to venue, and hotel to hotel. We outfitted Tycho with the best of our waterproof jackets and weatherproof bags, as well as couple new products that needed field testing. Scott Hansen (aka Tycho) fully embraced the project and was able to provide extremely valuable feedback to Mission Workshop. His feedback will be used to prototype future apparel and packs.

The Tycho x Mission Workshop x FILTER Magazine tour is culminating on November 29th in Tycho and Mission Workshops hometown of San Francisco with a performance at The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.  This will be the last tour stop for Tycho before the release of his new LP next spring.  Check out his early release single.” – MW
