"You can easily end up just being a techno guy if you're not careful. You have got to have some humanity in there."John Cale

Promoting John Cale
Selling the impossible
Promoters used to have a hard time to sell John Cale. Rocker? Nah. Avant-garde? Hm. Freak? On a bad day, or a good one for that matter.
Making great music without the public knowing of its existence is bad businness. There has been a steady flow of press releases, record companies have released special promo versions and live performances are announced with posters and handbills.
