Because the Canadian dollard sucks big time and why go to the States when you don't have to ... I don't think we dislike them that much, there was maybe only a small handfull of people that did not really liked Ae show, most of them were no real fan to begin with, and as soon as there is a live Techno show ( with live "playing") people get exited and expect it to be more danceable and more "fun". I know that audiences in Montreal were really good the first time Ae came in Montreal, Ae even composed a song with the name Montreal ( on Amber ), because they felt that there was something really special in the city compared to what they've seen in other cities around north America; maybe it has changed ... I think that Ae changed so much in the last few years that many early fan ( as I was ) did not continue buying and following all of the latest releases and shows. I went to the show knowing that it would be something different, and I was not that all surprised of the crowd response to either David Kristian and Ae. They were really more confused when Derek Carter came after Ae.
