The only reason I can think of is for pure fun, eventually brought by  
such a "sociological/musical experiment". I was once booked to play  
at a beer bar's "singer-songwriter's evening", against that fact that  
I warned them and said "I won't play any known songs and I can't tell  
you which instrument I will use, or what it will sound like, until  
I'm standing there on the stage". When I played it was miles out of  
the club concept but the funny thing is that it was appreciated by  
most people. Which was a big surprise to me, then   ;-D

I use to think about this future concept of doing an "Instant  
Misplacement Tour". The idea is to have a very cheap and portable  
looping rig and some records to sell (to secure income) and then play  
at places that are completely "wrong". I do not think about this as a  
way of "confronting people" but more as a way of "winning them  
over" (and I think this difference in attitude is the clue to what  
will make it work)
