We got a chance to go and play in some places that the usual European tour by an American band didn't go to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We didn't do an American tour because it I know it wouldn't go down well.
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.
I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.
We came off the road of the last tour very inspired to just keep playing, so we went to Canada.
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.
The European Tour plays all over the world: from the U.K. to China, from Korea to South Africa, and from the Middle East to southeast Asia.
We didn't realize there were that many boy bands until we started touring in Europe. I don't think we were ever affected by it since a lot of the groups in Europe didn't really sing live, but we did and would perform a cappella as well.
I guess something that I've noticed from American acts who had success in touring is more of an explanation as to their music. Which is I think quite funny. I think British acts might like to leave more to the imagination - maybe a bit more obscure perhaps - a bit more shy.
We also tour nationally and internationally.
I didn't tour Europe, because I didn't have any label support.
