yeah, tour tour tour and don't give a fuck if noone shows up, unless this could kill the "support" from venues in your area...
BUT, if there are just few places willing to book bands around there it could be a good idea not to play all of em in a too short time span..or the "following" you could build would have no chances to see you play for a while, unless you get to be a resident band in some venue ha ha
