MORELLO'S TINY AUDIENCES AS THE NIGHTWATCHMAN

Rocker TOM MORELLO enjoyed playing to tiny crowds as he launched his solo singer/songwriter alter-ego THE NIGHTWATCHMAN - because some gigs would only be watched by a handful of people.

Morello is more used to playing arenas with his former supergroup Audioslave and Rage Against The Machine, who played their first gig since 2000 at last night's (29Apr07) Coachella Festival in California.

However, Morello has also been playing acoustic protest songs as The Nightwatchman.

He says, "It was two or three nights a week, sometimes it was bars , but sometimes it was coffee shops or bike shops. I'm not kidding, and the crowd could be eight people.

"Some nights there was the danger of getting drowned out by the latte machine. But it was a valuable trial by fire and a great balance to the day job as arena rock star."
