Electric Guest, a Billboard-charting Los Angeles-based band, just finished its 21-show tour across the country, all while traveling in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van.

Many campervan enthusiasts use the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as their van conversion body of choice for traveling. While unconverted, the band's Sprinter has allowed lead singer Asa Taccone and drummer Matthew Compton of Electric Guest to travel across the country to complete their North American tour that brought the band to 21 cities, including Las Vegas, Austin, New York, Salt Lake City, and San Diego.

Electric Guest first launched its musical start after releasing its 2012 debut album "Mondo", which included "This Head I Hold", the band's most popular song that currently holds almost 70 million streams on Spotify.
