I get it. It says that explicitly in the release I saw. But I feel like here, perception is everything. Even the AMob got a showcase gig in NYC to kick off that whole hot mess, if memory serves (it does) and so did The Winery Dogs (at least in America; they played Japan first). The limited tours for Flying Colors and Transatlantic all covered the big cities, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and the Philly area.
This seems... odd to me. And remember, I'm the Sons of Apollo apologist, Team Mike and all that.
