The Best of ALLEGAEON's SXSW Instagram Takeover

While we were partying at SXSW, we let our buddies in Allegaeon take over the Metal Injection Instagram account for a day to offer some input on what life on the road is like. What we got were some hilarious photos of a day in the life of a touring band.

The day started with some trouble at the gas station:

We (Allegaeon) are currently on tour heading to Tucson, Arizona. This just happened. #GetRekt #Allegaeontakeover

And it looks like we weren't the only ones shocked by that outcome. So was one of the bandmembers' moms.

Allegaeon brought a cardboard stand up of The Most Interesting Man In the World and made sure it moshed during Cancer Bats' performance at our SXSW Showcase:

He doesn't always mosh. But when he does, it's during #cancerbats! – #Allegaeontakeover #mostinterestingmanintheworld @allegaeonofficial

Showing off a common activity on the road, BBQing in a WalMart parking lot…

El Paso! Since we (Allegaeon) are not playing your city, we decided we should grill in a Walmart parking lot. Bring meat, we grill. 6:00 PM tonight. 9441 Alameda Ave.

Allegeon made sure to bring out a human crab for their -core performance at the MetalSucks showcase…

Don't make me turn this van around! @Allegaeonofficial #Allegaeontakeover
