Well, BA (before Absolution) is technically any gig before 2002... I found out in about 2001 or something, they played my home town twice in 1999. I didn't even know proper live bands ever visited here until then, lol. I just figured it was a load of crappy local bands playing. Of course, now, both gig venues don't exist. So there's no chance of "the next Muse" playing here.
Hmmm, went off on one there a bit.
