A lot of PE members lament the public's poor tastes in music or the lack of desire for new music but how is anyone outside prog circles supposed to have ever heard of a band like BBT in America? England maybe. Besides, the band's niche is a style of music that never really caught on here. Comparing BBT to Genesis' more pastoral mid-70s period will draw blank stares among most people.
I'd love it if BBT could successfully tour the US but even an act like Steven Wilson/Porcupine Three, who has been around since the late '90s, doesn't fill large venues and rarely plays the outer reaches of the US unless it's on a freaking Tuesday.
