If the audience would be more open and not fed up with tons of supermarket
kind
of pop-music, it would be much easier. I miss the hunger, the excitement 
for
new
music, apart from the mainstream.
Re. the low attendance problem: My problem is not so much playing in front
of few people
(sometimes I do nevertheless, depends on my personal mood), but to find a
promoter
who risks it financially to do a show with avantgarde, experimental music.
I find it extremely difficult (living in Germany) getting shows. Although I
have
a record out , a label and a myspace side.
