It always surprises me how big New Zealand is. It's just a speck nudged up against the side of Australia :)

You have the same problem as we do here. A lot of bands miss Texas for some reason. Genesis were huge here in the 80's and they've not been here since, I guess, 1992ish. I've had to travel to see some of the bands I really wanted to see. A-ha only did 3 shows in Los Angeles, then I found out they added a couple in New York and another at the Hollywood Bowl. I would see them again if they came around.

And yup, I've got surprise tickets to see The (English) Beat during our upcoming European vacation.

Maybe you should save your airmiles :) Lost 80's Live is in August and there's plenty of seats left.
