"To become known [in America] we would have to go there and tour for six months. We don't want to do that. We are going over for a month [Editor's note: they didn't], and hopefully get a good support. We were there in March. We supported the Psychedelic Furs in one gig to 7,000 people. If we had headlined Chicago, we would have pulled 500 people. Instead we took a support, and got two encores. Hopefully when we go back people will have remembered us."
