Yeah, but let's just say you aren't really into Amon Amarth, but you're a Behemoth fan. Why catch them now when you could catch them in another few months?
i really don't understand that concept to be honest. when a band i like comes to my area i go see em, with the exception of goatwhore once last year. saw em 3 times and that would have been 4 lol
i see what he's saying, it applys more to someone like me who has a minimum 4 hour drive each way. i cant go see every show i would like to because its just way to costly by the time you factor in driving and meal expenses then a motel because i usually cant drive home after shows. so if a band i like is coming to toronto 3 times in one year im more apt to wait untill its all bands i want to see.
oh yeah and i thought kataklysm was going to be writing/recording a new album this summer but maybe because ex deo is doing so well they are going to stick with it for a little bit longer
idrinkwine, they arent really oversatuarating the market with tours, because even though this tour was like a 25 date tour (i believe) they still missed a lot of cities/states. Their current tour isnt coming to Denver.

Jake, you're right, I'm just worried that if this trend continues, it will be difficult for them to sell out shows. They need to do an A market tour then a B market tour every now and then.
Shane, one of the main concepts of local bands is not to play your hometown too often. Because if I want to go see them, what makes this time special? Why should I shell out the 10 bucks plus gas plus the time to go see them. That's why most locals don't play their home market more than every month or two at most. A few locals only play shows here once every 4 or 5 months here, but still play shows other places.
