I wonder how many of us there are in the UK. It must be strange and hard to understand for our cousins in the US how very few fans there are in the UK. We see many US bands playing huge venues and selling shed loads of albums such as The Killers, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters etc all of which are not a patch on The Jacket. We also see other bands like Fleet Foxes, Bon Ivor etc playing bigger venues and selling more records.
Why is this? Just can't work it out.
May be we are the chosen few.

That you are my cousin, keep spreading the word(music) as i only see the Jacket getting bigger and bigger in the years to come!  Bring some friends to the show and they are sure to turn into  Jacket fans, after my first show i was hooked but had listened to many of their albums before i got to see what a Jacket show live will do to you.  Have seen this band live more then any other band and i keep coming back for more cause it never gets old to me.    ;D

No idea about the UK, but I see more and more mentions of MMJ in Swedish media (seem like it when you look at Google trends as well), woop woop! Yay European fans! :thumbsup:  :)
