MIDWAY through my Azmyl & the Truly Asia US Tour about two weeks back, I made a cheeky post on my personal Facebook page about how a local mainstream press would prefer to cover a story (most probably syndicated) about a Singaporean band that was robbed while they were just at the start of their own US tour over an actual Malaysian band touring the US at the same time.
I say “cheeky” because I noted that I had sent press releases about my upcoming US tour to the mainstream media (by mainstream I mean those publications that still have a print version) but none had taken the bait, let alone shown any interest.
