Bored of your four door sedan or fixie bike? Feel like you need an upgrade? You can now place bids for Deer Tick’s tour bus and roll in style like the eccentric indie folk rockers themselves. The bus nicknamed “The Flagship” for being what took the band across the country in their 2009 tour promoting Born on Flag Day will be auctioned off in order to raise funds for the Pakistan flood victims.

In July, heavy monsoons in Pakistan caused mass flooding making over 21 million people injured or homeless. Frontman John McCauley states, “The situation over there is so critical, but it seems very few people are aware of it. Maybe it’s a stigma with that part of the world, I’m not sure. Either way, we feel very strongly that people should be more aware of the situation and hopefully we can help with that.”  The tour bus will be up for auction on ebay for  three weeks and Deer Tick will also be taking donations at the merch table for each date of their upcoming tour.
