Taylor Iversen (Abrams)


SPB: What’s your favorite stretch of highway to drive in the US?

Taylor: When we were leaving Joshua Tree after our most recent show there, some sagely person told us to take a scenic route to get to where we were going. 

We ended up cutting through the Mojave National Preserve on our way up to SLC. We spent some timeless period driving past endless sun scorched deserts, hills, and cacti while listening to Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, and the Desert Sessions the whole way. After some immeasurable length of time, we spilled out onto Interstate 15, cut through Vegas, and were in Salt Lake City for our show many hours later. 

I couldn't tell you what the name of the road was, and I'm just fine with that. Something like that doesn't need a name.
