its amazing isnt it. I'm sure that getting the Apartment involved was in some way in response to all those people who accused the Shuffle of not being across the board in its musial view point. So what happens, they get asked in to host some more dance/urban acts and they can't even be bothered to stay open for the after show, to play host to those that came and supported as well as those people heading in after the 12 bar. If thats the level of support you get from the more mainstream elements...well sod em, stick to what you know works.
The next time some other genre winges about the "four guys with guitar" bias of the Shuffle , you can tell them exactly why it is that way.
