We had several hits in the States but probably only one big one in Europe. The crowds are smaller.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We got a chance to go and play in some places that the usual European tour by an American band didn't go to.
Then we did what we called basically I suppose a club tour in England, which was the time I think that our second album came out, we club toured around the whole country where the venues were hold to five hundreds upwards to that sort of thing you know.
We started very slow in America. It was small acoustic shows. We played places like Los Angeles, New York and Chicago and everywhere there has been a great reaction. It has been really lovely. They listen to the lyrics and the melody over there and the reaction has been fantastic.
I didn't spend much time in America, which probably was a mistake. To someone else, having a number one in America would be enough to get them touring.
We never got on a big, big tour, but we did a lot of spot dates.
We've performed in South America and in Japan.
I'm sure everyone knows now that only a few have performed in Madison Square Garden. That list is so small. Now I'm on that list. I'm a part of a very small group, which is unbelievable. You relish in that moment for a second.
I remember a tour where we played 50 cities in 56 days. We also went to Europe a couple of times.
Look at my track record: All of the big hits we created in Holland worked globally.
It doesn't really seem any different anywhere. I'd say it seems like we're biggest in Australia. It's just that we've always been this underground band and for some reason in the last month has been starting to go overground.
