This week marks the release of Polica’s third LP United Crushers, an album full of raw feelings, fear and isolation. For the band, this record was meant to be something they could be proud of, not knowing what the future would hold. Life change also resonates through the band’s latest album, as lead singer Channy Leaneagh was pregnant during that time.
To support the band’s new record, Polica has hit the road touring select cities. They’ll need some essentials while they’re playing shows in support of their new record. See what items Leaneagh needs while she’s on the road.
SAFETY PIN EARRINGS
CHANNY LEANEAGH: I wear these every show. They are my lucky charms from NEAL jewelry; an artist in Minneapolis Lauren Neal's beautiful handmade creations.
OILS
LEANEAGH: Fat and the Moon Oil for my face and Muse oil for my body. Keeps me feeling well with all the airplane travel and shitty smelling cities and green rooms on the road.
T-SHIRTS
LEANEAGH: I live in these two t-shirts. This Phoenix Bodies t-shirt was stolen from Ryan Olson. I like wearing his clothes and the Bernie Sanders one is what I like to wear in photographs so I can unabashedly promote my candidate of choice.
STAGE SHOES
LEANEAGH: I got these as a gift from Justin Vernon when I played his Eaux Claires festival. They have the festival’s symbol etched in the sole. They're perfect for dancing around the stage.
MAGNESIUM
LEANEAGH: Always travel with these as I can't sleep without it. Highly suggest this if you're hopping around time zones: it's a natural tranquilizer. 2-3 make for a sweet dream time.
