BBMak Preferred Touring With *NSYNC
Alloy.com chatted with Mark Barry, Christian Burns, Ste McNally of BBMak and one of the subjects was whether they enjoyed touring with Britney Spears or *NSYNC more:
Ste: They’re both really nice people but, of course…
Mark: Doing the tour *NSYNC was the best because we got the full band on stage. Whereas on the Britney Spears tour, we didn’t.
Christian: They’re cool guys.
Ste: Who’s cooler? You know, with Britney, that was like playing in front of 20 to 25 thousand people. Then our single went up the charts, and we ended up touring with *NSYNC in front of crowds of 70,000!
Mark: There’s a big difference.
