   I think Australia is too far for them to come.  Big trip, lots of money   
   spent etc.  With the GFC and internet for downloading, I reckon that bands   
   are not doing it as well as they once were.  DM have been around 30 years.   
   There is not much left for them to conquer...... !!  I would love to see   
   them again live in Oz, but not if they were to play the latest album - it   
   sucks......
