OK, I have to say... I (sort of) agree with Space...
(The entire Forum passes out through shock alone...)

I think that NMA is a band with appeal that goes beyond their usual fanbase. I think there are a lot of people, who might be of a certain age or perhaps just not being catered for by the music that they are being targeted with, that would love this band. In fact, I seem to remember an interview with, I think, Joolz, where it was put out that NMA are rather under-appreciated. I totally agree with that. Now, I'm not saying that they should have top-ten hits or be playing 10000+ arenas, but they should be more than a cult band. And I think that here, in the UK and possibly in other European countries, there should be more done to get their songs / message out to the general public... please note, NOT an attack on their people who do that public relations stuff...
The Joolz Holland show would be a classic fit, but it seems to be a closed shop. Cult artists? Fine, if you fit certain perameters. NMA obviously don't, despite all the heat around them nowadays. BBC6? Again, some heat. But not enough.
Space, I'd be interested to know what avenues are open to a middle-aged band from the UK that most folks in the US have never heard of and what the inner circle of the band might do about it...
Closing note... I'd love to have NMA have a big old resurgence into the public eye in their autumn years. Not least because they ain't getting younger and if, god forbid, health problems might kick in one day, some years down the line, I'd like to think that if touring / recording wasn't possible anymore, they'd be OK (oh, wow, that's a ******* depressing comment!) and they'd have a legacy that might stretch beyond the usual hardcore followers... not least in a financial sense...
Yup, I just equated what NMA do with money. Heck, the lads gotta make a living. Bring on the flames.
