Is the “big comeback” of your favorite band a triumph of art, or a high-stakes financial gamble that could leave them broke? Uri Dijk of Textures joins Chris Akin to pull back the curtain on why the band actually disappeared and the cold, hard math that dictates where they play—and why the US is often left off the map. If you think being a world-class musician means living the high life, this interview will force you to question everything you know about the modern music industry. Are they artists, or just a company trying to keep the lights on?
