The only reason I can think of is for pure fun, eventually brought by such a "sociological/musical experiment". I was once booked to play at a beer bar's "singer-songwriter's evening", against that fact that I warned them and said "I won't play any known songs and I can't tell you which instrument I will use, or what it will sound like, until I'm standing there on the stage". When I played it was miles out of the club concept but the funny thing is that it was appreciated by most people. Which was a big surprise to me, then ;-D I use to think about this future concept of doing an "Instant Misplacement Tour". The idea is to have a very cheap and portable looping rig and some records to sell (to secure income) and then play at places that are completely "wrong". I do not think about this as a way of "confronting people" but more as a way of "winning them over" (and I think this difference in attitude is the clue to what will make it work) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) http://tinyurl.com/fauvm (podcast) http://www.myspace.com/looproom
