FEBRUARY TOUR CANCELLED.
I cannot fully express how bad we feel for doing this but we have to cancel the tour.
Really sorry for the hassle this will cause, mainly to promotors and people who were planning on coming out, but we have no other choice.
Our bass player walked out on us last night. After 3 years of being in the band and working various shit jobs and turning down most other life commitments, he’s decided that the job he’s been offered is too much to turn down.
I hope you appreciate as this whole thing has been a nightmare for us. Sean had told us he was leaving a few weeks ago – the tour was still going ahead as planned, as a farewell, especially as we had booked it ourselves. We literally found out last night that he could no longer honor this.
The heart of the band is still alive and we will back with vengeance when we are ready. Hopefully we can reschedule the tour when we have sorted this. To try get someone to fill in at this late stage (1 week before the first gig) would be a dishonor to our selves as well as people listening.
Again. Sorry for the fuck about.
THE PLIGHT
