The Box’s Jean-Marc Pisapia returns to the podcast ahead of an exciting 3 stop Ontario visit to talk about touring in 1983 versus in 2023 [these days he hits the stage when he would normally be going to bed, LOL], why L’Affaire Dumoutier is still his absolute favourite song [and he explains that iconic video!], his first professional job with Ivan Doroschuk and [a pre-The Safety Dance] Men Without Hats, his favourite tour memories with The Spoons/Chris de Burgh/The Pretenders/Jethro Tull, playing ‘festivals’ versus ‘soft seaters,’ his first taste of fame getting kicked out of a McDonald’s on Montreal’s Ste Catherine Street because the autograph requests were causing a commotion, clarifies the video vs recording roles in the band of ‘a real trooper’ the great Sass Jordan, re-opening the El Mocambo with 2 shows in 2021, a spoiler alert for the ONLY cover song they will play during a live show [hint: you can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind], and a public service announcement warning about what you will get on your internet browser if you incorrectly type in the band’s website TheBoxBand.com!
