Jim Break of Spring Break
What’s on your rider?
Vitamin water (flavoured and unflavoured); a photo collage of President Reagan; an onsite acupuncturist and personal chef(s); the latest edition of The Economist. A TV with a satellite subscription to Bloomberg and CNBC. You know, the usual.
What would be on your fantasy rider?
Fantasy is real life when you’re in Spring Break.
What’s your pre-gig ritual/ routine?
Check in with our stockbroker. Crystal healing from our therapist, Francine. Ten or 15 minutes in an isolation chamber to focus and find our centres. And then we’re go for magic time.
What’s your crowd-pleasing number?
All numbers should be crowd-pleasing. We don’t do lulls.
Chatting between songs – good or bad?
Depends entirely on whether you have anything worthwhile to say – or something to sell.
Groupies. Would you?
“The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.” So says Dale Carnegie.
Have you a special stage wardrobe?We've no shortage of stage attire. We try to adhere to a style we like to call "Uptown Extravagance".
If you could be in any other band, which one?
Who’s sold the most records?
Who’s invited to your aftershow party?
Anyone who’s ever done the walk of life.
