Judging by their website it seems that Brian may be handling vocals as he's the only one that get's a vocal credit.
THE BREAK
Rob Hirst � drums and percussion
Jim Moginie � guitars and keyboards 
Martin Rotsey � guitar 
Brian Ritchie � bass and vocals

Apparently they played Wedding Cake Island at (at least) one of the gigs leading up to the Manly Surf Festival. I wouldn't be surprised if it became a regular.

I too will be interested to see how things go on the vocals front - "15 mostly instrumental tracks" probably means "15 tracks with a light sprinkle of vocal interjections throughout" but it could also mean "14 tracks with a light sprinkle of vocals and 1 where Rob/Jim really wanted to sing".

As for Oils tracks, I wouldn't be surprised if Generals got broken out from time to time, and maybe Kosciusko if they're not feeling self-conscious about playing Oils songs.

I can imagine Bells and Horns returning, too, but perhaps in a reworked form that slims down the intro a bit.

Just wondering - when they play live, the Break will have a few old surfy Oils tunes to choose from (Wedding Cake Island being the most obvious) Any other suggestions - Bell and horns in the back of beyond would be a goodie, though it would necessitate them breaking the lacovocal rule and doing Pete's semi-spoken intro.
