It has been forever since the Real McKenzies have been around the USA. I just checked out The Briggs web site and found that they are out touring Europe with the McKenzies.?!?! What the fuck?!?!? :evil:

Ive seen them play more times in Europe than I've seen them in the states.

The world has around 200 countries. Why do you think that every band needs to play the States every year?

Well ... At the risk of being accused of being a Fat Arrogant US Guy I'll put forth this reason:

The USA has far more viable markets for most touring music than Uganda, Nepal, and North Korea combined.

Obviously, yes. Then again, a band like the Real McKenzies might have had a point where they noticed that their music was more appealing to fans in European countries than in the US and therefore gave touring Europe the edge over touring America.

No argument there. But your original question was "There's ~200 countries in the world; why should a band come to the USA every year?" That's very different than "Why should a Celtic-Rock band come to the USA every year when an equally viable market for their music exists in Europe?"

there are thousands of bands who have far more fans in Europe than in the US, that's it

about korea, and other countries I'm not an expert

I've never seen them either. Got tix for them two times: cancelled twice

**Mon Sep 18, 2006 7:24 pm**

I might be mistaken, but I think I remember the McKenzies having some problems with their US visas or something...
