Sydney has a very small techno scene relative to Melbourne, say. And it's winter here. So that underground gig, which was actually very well attended in the circumstances, is not typical. In Melbourne it was a bigger venue. Mills played 6000 here in Melbourne in April. What's more, he very kindly did phone interviews with a few select writers in advance, which would have taken up a day of his time. So I think such professionalism and courtesy should be rewarded. But honestly can we leave all this talk of booking to Mills, his agent/manager and the promoters. It's not really our business, unless this is a forum for promoters. The figures on this list were grossly exaggerated, I have no doubt. In fact the figures seem to be growing each time the speculation arises. It's kinda crazy. Heard any good records lately anyone? What is the new Alton Miller like??
