You've been seeing him at the wrong venues then. When I saw Merzbow live in Seattle the place was packed. Easily 200 or more people in a tiny club. Don't let a percieved lack of interest in the noise scene deter you from performing. ObIDM: Can anyone recommend any good noise/dance music? Nurse With Wound's Rock 'n Roll station is excellent, but I'd be more interested in hearing something like Merzbow meets Aphex Twin, or Whitehouse meets the KLF.
