mudgeek, have patience... just because there aren't any NMA dates in your vicinity announced now, don't think it won't happen. NMA visit all corners of the world, just not necessarily in the immediate aftermath of a new album coming out. OK, I know I'm a UK resident so I'm gonna be getting my fix pretty soon, but I've been to many gigs that weren't related to any particular album and I know that the lads appreciate their SA following... again, be patient, mate! And if, by some chance, you manage to get over to these shores, I'm sure there are plenty of posters who will help you out...
