misc

Fruit was a fascinating band; they were astonishingly strong live performers, at least once sold $10k worth of CDs in a weekend at the Bethlehem Folk Festival, but never managed much mainstream success outside of Australia. They were on world-wide tours almost continuously, which meant they never built a following in any one place to use as a base. Being a self-produced Australian band, they were music industry outsiders and didn't manage to get much in the way of airplay or critical notice.
