We did Mutek in Montreal and had a great answer. These days, our city is
quite well spotted by european artists BUT this is a recent fact. IN the
80's evey band coming to tour the US was stopping in Toronto and only
sometimes in Montreal. Things have changed: Why? We did our best to develop
a scene, to help local bands and start labels.
We are now know in this "milieu" for our hospitality and of the technical
quality of the events.
It can be eveywhere.
BUT
Mutek originally came from a merge between our will and the will of labels
as Force Inc and others to tour in US. Some other dates were scheduled, but
not long before the tours, most of the dates were cancelled by local
promoters: not enough pre-sale tickets were sold.
So, we did everything alone.
