For the band on a
seriously tight budget, we offer this beauty! We are often
asked to get bands into coaches that they truly cannot afford... For just that scenario, we offer the "non-running"
coach! This baby looks just like a REAL running coach, but it won't
even start! As a matter of fact, we have removed not only the
engine, but the entire drive train, including the transmission.
The reduction in weight makes pushing the coach from gig to gig much
easier.
To make stopping possible, the coach does have brakes,
but they are modified to standard pick up truck brakes as air brakes
are no longer possible without the main engine. In
this coach, your entire band and crew build up "extreme" leg
muscles!
Daily Rate: $37 / day...
Roaming Satellite requires additional band or crew member to
walk
along with the coach and hold the satellite dish.
Has your band's
career taken a massive nose dive? Are record sales
non-existent? Are you playing to empty rooms? Is your
band's MySpace site crashing because of a lack of visitors?
Are you now in the "where are they now" bin? Well, if you
answered "yes" to any of these questions, we have the coach for you!
This coach was built just for the band with no hopes of a career
continuing! The "Nose Dive Coach" as we affectionately call
her, is equipped with heavy duty shoulder strap seat belts to
securely hold all band and crew members in place during travel as
well as when lounging or sleeping when the coach is stationary.
Daily Rate: $50 / day...
Unfortunately, standard satellite dishes do not work on this coach
as
the severe incline makes tracking nearly impossible...
Just because you are
a "solo" artist or a "duo" doesn't mean you can't afford to get into
a coach! Other coach companies simply cannot offer you this
option... Star Coaches, Inc. CAN! We recently added this
little number to our ever growing fleet of "budget coaches". At first
glance, this appears to be a typical rickshaw, but if you look much
closer, you will notice that this baby offers many of the finer
amenities found only in more expensive coaches...
For example,
a driver! Yes, this coach comes complete with its own driver.
"Kurt" as he goes by when on tour, is a seasoned rickshaw driver...
No need for a GPS system, "Kurt" is familiar with just about all US
and Canadian venues, both large and small. When in New York
city, Kurt gladly stays with the vehicle, nearly eliminating all
parking violations!
In addition to Kurt, other amenities
include a tilt action leveling system that makes exiting the vehicle
a breeze! Based on physics that you might remember from 8th
grade science class, with minimal foot pressure from Kurt's bare
feet, you can be catapulted clean out of the vehicle right to the
backstage door! Because luggage space is seriously limited, we
suggest that you only perform venues in which the promoter provides
all backline equipment!
Daily Rate: $20 / day (for the
rickshaw) and $20 / day (for Kurt)... One note for winter
travel... especially if Canadian dates are on your
itinerary... Kurt will need some shoes or boots... Just
like a hotel room for the driver each night, we ask that you take
care of him and give him shoes during winter tours. Thank you!
Retro is so popular
now! Just think of the lasting impression you will make when
you pull into any US or Canadian city in this baby! An exact
replica of the famed Partridge Family bus! We haven't left out
a single thing... Each of the windows slides open to reveal
the fresh air from each city on your itinerary! Of course, we
have left the bench seating throughout the coach to give you the
feel and ride that each member of The Partridge Family enjoyed from
gig to gig!
But wait! There is more! With the
lease of this coach, you get David Cassidy as your own ambassador of
good will... When you arrive at your venue, David will
personally exit the coach and greet the club owner with a smile and
a handshake to start things off just right! He will also
mingle during your show and "talk up" your current CD, boast about
how close he is to the band, and as a bonus he will sit in with your
band during an encore set!
But wait! There is still
more! If you order now, you also get the little girl (we can't
remember her name... the youngest Partridge) that played
tambourine! She, too, will sit in
throughout your performance and play that acclaimed tambourine part
she is so well known for! No matter how you slice this one
up... It is a real deal!
Daily Rate: $125 / day
(for the coach) and $100 / day (for David Cassidy) and $75 / day
(for the tambourine girl)... No need for in motion
satellite... for true authenticity, we have added a TV with
rabbit ears... No additional charge!
Corporate sponsorship
is increasingly more popular with bands on a tight budget...
Here is how it works: Find a corporate client put their image
on an exterior wrap and they cover a portion of your coach lease
fees... This "SpamMobile" offer much more than a typical
corporate sponsorship!
Not only does your band get a reduction
in coach lease fees, but you receive an entire tour supply of
SPAM... the nutritional potted, compressed meat product that
no one on earth can complete identify the contents of! This
gelatinous formed meat product his not only tasty, but it is also rich
in vitamins and nutrients! Stay healthy and full with the
massive supply of SPAM!
Daily Rate: $220 / day for
the coach... $10 / day for a tour supply of Alka Seltzer!
This dependable, yet affordable
coach is an excellent choice for a band on a budget. Features
include a tire. This coach provides year round ventilation
thanks to the missing front and side windows. Bay space is
seriously limited so a trailer might be required for bands with
excessive backline gear. Bands utilizing in ear monitor
systems and single space rack units should be just fine in this one
of a kind beauty.
Daily Rate: $14 / day...
Satellite Extra!
While this is obviously NOT a
coach, it is the perfect transportation for the smaller combo or
trio that is seeking dependable, low maintenance transportation.
This true freak of nature has both years and miles under his girth!
Fuel costs will greatly diminish as a brief water and grazing break
at a rest area will get you another 4 hours of travel time.
Of
course, the stirrups can be adjusted for a comfortable fit for any
size artist short or tall. Saddle bags are available for
carrying such necessities as cables and guitar strings.
Sunscreen and / or a cowboy hat is recommended especially is your
tour takes you into those hot summer months! Chaps are also
recommended to prevent that unsightly chaffing that can truly hinder
your performance on stage.
Daily Rate: $5 / day...
Satellite is unfortunately not available at this time.
You might be a REDNECK if you opt
to tour in this highly modified coach! Designed to get to just
about any gig... any place! We customized this coach for
a 25th anniversary reunion tour for the band that played in the
movie "Deliverance"... you remember, the guys on the front
porch? Dueling Banjoes??
Anyhow, we quickly realized
that other benefits that this coach can offer popular
entertainers... It completely eliminates the inconvenience of
not being able to depart a venue because of a massive crowd blocking
the coach... with this "Monster Coach", you simply ask the
driver to "drive OVER the crowd" blocking the coach!
Entry to
the coach is a breeze with the "roll down rope ladder" that we have
custom made to withstand 300 pounds. Deer whistles have also
been installed to thwart off the potential for serious accidents
while traveling to those gigs in the backwoods!
Daily Rate:
$35 / day... Gun Rack: $5 / day... Extra Driving
Lights and a Brush Guard for the front: $200!
Now this is truly a one of a kind
for the band that demands versatility on tour. No need to
fight Chicago traffic en route to Detroit... simply go the
most direct route: across Lake Michigan! Notice the
aerodynamic front end... a huge bonus for the budget minded
Tour Manager who is looking to save on tour fuel costs!
Daily
Rate: $38... $48 if on water!
This coach may not impress you
from the outside but it is LOADED with amenities! First, and
most notable is the "exterior restroom"! No more "surprises"
for the rest of the band and crew to enjoy after stopping at Taco
Bell for dinner! We have all experienced it: Everyone is
relaxing in the front lounge watching a movie, working on tour
accounting, or catching a snooze, and quietly someone disappears
into the lavatory... Within 5 minutes it hits ya! You
want to die! You want to jump out of the coach while it is
moving down the highway!
In extreme cases, you just want to
quit the band and never perform again! Put your worries aside!
With this custom coach, the "violator" can take care of business
OUTSIDE the coach! There isn't even a need for a holding tank!
Everything just drops to the ground! How convenient!
This feature is just as helpful while the coach is moving...
safety straps are positioned to securely hold you in place even when
traveling on those northeastern highways!
Daily Rate:
$225 / day... year round... NO DISCOUNTS! This one
is a gem!
Nothing is more depressing than to
show up at your show in a beautiful coach only to be "tagged" by a
gang member while you are on stage! After years of removing
unsightly graffiti, we have created the "TAGGED COACH"! This
custom coach will diffuse gangs from tagging your coach every time!
They will simply stroll past your coach and spray graffiti all over
the other band's coach...
As most of you know, to succeed in
the entertainment industry you always have to think ahead...
this coach does the thinking for you! With this custom artwork
design, potential vandals are WARNED: "STEP BACK"... we
feel it is highly authoritative without being too offensive.
The added artwork to the wheels creates a hypnotizing effect for
passer-bys.
Daily Rate: $185 / day... Touch
Sensitive Audio Warning Alarm: $20 / day.
Don't make the grave mistake of
assuming just any coach is ready for use on the water. This
most unfortunate tour act has encountered a major problem trying to
save time crossing Lake Michigan in a coach that is simply not
equipped with floatation devices.
What an excellent choice for the
smaller combo or acoustic version of a larger touring band.
This exquisite touring vehicle offers an intimate environment not
found in larger, more spacious coaches. The one seat folds
down to offer passengers more of a "bunk" feel.
While this
coach may appear to be larger than life, we really suggest that no
more than 2 band members and a guitar tech ride try to cram
themselves into this baby!
Daily Rate: $14.95!!

Touring during the winter season
is never easy! With more and more venues popping up in
Minnesota and Wisconsin, we decided to design a coach that not only
fit into a tight budget, but also looked great and provided extra
features not found in more expensive touring coaches. Studded
tires all the way around provide sure footed traction even in the
most brutal winter storms. You'll fly right through the
country's most dangerous passes in this work horse.
The
"flight deck" provides passengers with the ability to scout for
upcoming "black ice" patches in the road ahead. The coach is
equipped with state of the art AirFones so that scouting passengers
can quickly alert the driver to any upcoming dangerous road
conditions. This coach is a must for winter tours!
Daily
Rate: $29.95 all in... driver included!!!
At Star Coaches, Inc., we realize
that we must stay ahead of our competition just to survive!
After hours of deliberation, our executive staff came up with a real
winner! Coaches that come equipped with in house road crews!!
This quality, dependable coach arrives to your pick up location, on
time... before you can even get near the coach, three
enthusiastic and overly friendly freshman college interns leap off
the coach to welcome you and the members of your band.
Once
your gear and luggage has been loaded by your three crew members,
you'll be entertained to a plethora of campfire favorite such as
"Michael Row Your Boat" as each of our interns is required to be
able to sing and play acoustic guitar!
Daily Rate: $30 /
day... and remember to kindly contribute to the "tip jar" that
is located near the front of the coach.
Some bands just can't draw a
decent crowd... regardless of how good their material is.
But does this make your band any less of a band than one that sells
out every night? NO! That's why we have developed the
"touring audience solution." Never play to an empty house
again. Never experience the self esteem crushing emotion of
only hearing 6-8 people clapping at then end of your biggest hit!
With your "touring audience solution", every night will be a great
night! Your touring audience has been instructed to clap
enthusiastically immediately after every song! Some members
are specially trained to scream and yell at the most appropriate
times during your show.
Each touring audience member is
provided with a copy of your CD 2 weeks prior to pick up so that
they are able to learn the lyrics to each of your songs! The
days of performing to bartenders and waitress' is over with the
"touring audience solution" offered only by Star Coaches, Inc.
Daily Rate: $75 / day ++ and 14 hotel rooms with roll-a-ways.
