A tour manager’s job is to rally the bands through countless, sleepless nights, get them up on stage after last night’s shit show, and make sure they perform their best. For that job, we’ve hired Ted Stryker.

Stryker’s best-known role is as DJ at Los Angeles’s famous KROQ radio, a modern rock radio station that’s been keeping it real since 1972. In that time, Stryker’s interviewed such legends as Linkin Park, Blink 182, Ozzy Osborne, Rage Against the Machine, and System of a Down. Stryker also hosts Loveline, KROQ’s highly successful advice line.

Stryker’s also been on TV and in some cool movies like SpikeTV’s The Ultimate Gamer, Adam Sandler’s Grandma’s Boy, and starred alongside Cameron Diaz in The Sweetest Thing.
