On the Tour Bus with Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is and Cobra Starship

June 7, 2007 3:12 PM ET

In our ongoing efforts to tell you how emo guys really live, we caught up with Fall Out Boy, the Academy Is and "Snakes on a Plane" dudes Cobra Starship at the New York stop of the catchily-named Honda Civic Tour. Not all emo bands are created equal -- some get two buses, and some get a couch with holes in it; some get master bedrooms and others get closets. But that didn't stop any of the bands from cramming as much as they could fit onto their buses for the two-month trek with +44 and Paul Wall.

Check out the photos to find out which band member gets gifts of cereal, which band finds alcohol behind every door and whose closet is full of dresses here.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
