They should just go tour in clubs as a tribute band,cause thats what it is. I wouldn’t see this group perform if they paid me to see them.

ASIA FJP want to tour all over the world but where we play is not under my control. I would be happy touring 11 months of the year. However touring is really expensive, flights alone for the band and crew can cost thousands and then agents, management and promoters need paying. Also gone are the days where record companies gave tour support money, in fact they now try to get a percentage of the concert fee. Since the split of GD and myself there have been legal issues that are now resolved but it has taken a while to get back up to speed and thankfully we have a run of exciting dates this summer. We are about to sign a worldwide deal with an incredible record company run by a very famous switched on guy and I wont announce it until pen hits paper. Perhaps at some stage we may also do a string of dates similar to ASIA ACROSS AMERICA arranged by fans but frankly my priority is for the whole band at the moment. From July on our profile will steadily increase and I promise you if we can make a gig work anywhere in the world we will be there. Also records will come out as soon as they are finished and when we feel it is a piece of work worthy of your continued support.
