It's not that their northeast draw isn't impressive because it is, but there's a sense that that's their draw everywhere and I think that's inaccurate.
But I just saw them at a 6k seat place last fall that was like 1/3 full at best, so that's my anecdotal evidence.
They were a VT only band really for their first 4-5 years outside of Colorado 88. They really first started trying to expand their footprint in 89-90. By 95 it was rare to see them somewhere as small as 3500.

"Yes but have you seen this photo of them in their home region?"
I said they're having a successful career. They're back and forth with KG&tLW for being the 2nd biggest new band that draws to this scene.

I think the turning point was Halloween 94. That seems to be where small US crowds ended.
