Then again i applaude Electrio for its dedication... they have been very inspiring... they managed to do a tour in Australia. That is remarkable.
^^
when "electrio" was playing at tampines cc, bands like plain sunset and my precious were touring places like new zealand, austrailia and japan. and they were diy indie bands, building up contacts as they went along, the things young start-up bands should be doing.
and your definition of "limits" is really describing markets ainnit? as long as a band is of a certain quality (read: international) and they market themselves to the right demographic, be it local or overseas (like our mandarin counterparts), they will more than likely achieve commercial success.
it's not really the country we're in that's the problem. we just need to be right original, catchy stuff and market ourselves properly.
by the way, this thread is very irritating. can we please stop talking about topics like this that will still be open for debate 10 years down the road?
