How well known is HIM?

My wife and I were both in the military and stationed in Germany for six years. Throughout this time we got to experience many differences in our (meaning the states verses Europe) cultures. One of the differences that I believe stood out the most was the music. One particular band we became very fond of was HIM. I am a huge Cure fan which this band kind of reminded me of. We have since moved back to Maine and very rarely here HIM on the radio or here about any concerts in our area. Is anybody else listening to HIM. I hpe so as it would be nice to get that style of music a little closer to home. I look forward to your responses. Laters Sirois

I think that HIM is just on the verge of breaking into the American mainstream of music. I know that our local radio station was playing "Wings of a Butterfly" last fall, which really surprised me! I suspect they have gotten some MTV airplay as well, and Hot Topic is FULL of HIM merchandise pretty much year round. I really love HIM, as does my boyfriend. Our other roommate hates HIM, which is odd, since she likes a lot of the other "goth" bands with a very similar style of music.

Thanks for the info. I hope that some of his earlier music will start to be played over here such as join me fron the 10th floor soundtrack.

When i first listened HIM they weren`t well known, they were at the beginning, they had just a demo or an album, or something, they had a big succes with their song "join me", and that was the moment when they begun to be known.

I live in Malaysia and have known about HIM for 5 years or so. They have not come out to your radio airways. (Which I thank the heavens for) And only recently, I've checked some music store and they have imported HIM CDs for sale, though there's only one or two copies. (I bought them though I really want the HER copies..) =(

I became a fan of HIM half of a year ago. I was fond of this band once I listened to the song GONE WITH THE SIN over the radio. Then I'm crazy about their music and anything about them. While , because I am now living in China, HIM is not so famous here, I can hardly search any news about them or buy their discs.
