nah thsi isnt what i menat...
With these changes, how does Toby ensure all his ideas clearly stem from a single creative source? "Well it’s not like we write music in parts and glue them together like some other bands seem to (cough Opeth cough)" comes the (controversial) retort.
and the oyther one:
read on Mia's page [Mia Matsumiya - violin, viola] that on some dates you played to 2-3 people. What are some thoughts that run through your head when you see an empty place? Does it ever run through your mind that this is all for nothing and "let's just be a studio band"?
Usually in a situation like that, I don't think it has anything to do with people not liking your music so much as it has to do with a lack of promotion or other circumstances, like playing in the same town on the same night as Opeth and Pelican together on one bill. And small turnouts are just a part of touring and playing shows that almost any band has to deal with - you just have to figure out why people aren't coming to the shows and do what you can to remedy that, in terms of scheduling and promotion. I think that a band's success has very little to do with their music.
Sure, a big part of it bad promotion [you played in Tampa and I had no clue] but do you also think people have shitty taste in music and prefer something safe to something challenging? I mean, I'd go see Kayo Dot over Opeth any day.
I think listeners are impatient, which directly affects their taste.
The latter one from dead.timne code doesn't rprove much i think we shoudl wait for him to reply.....
