I also disagree - because a record label is responsible for marketing and promotion or the artist...being here in the US- Detroit to be exact... if artist don't choose to promote themselves in this market how do they expect people to know what they are about or trying to do.. I'm just one of the

How many times would you fly (in this case) from Holland to the States, to gigs where no one came to? You'd get sick of it in the end, and would probably accept gigs on the basis that they are at least gonna be worth your while It's not exactly a new thing (decent artists bombing in the US)

So true, but if the proper promotion is done for the gig upfront, the crowd would be there. either way the artist makes his/her money regardless.. and maybe it's just me, but if I'm spinning I am going to put my all into it even it's only 25 people at the gig, those 25 will remember the night...
