BAD LIEUTENANT CANCELS REMAINING U.S. CONCERT DATES
LOS ANGELES, CA - Saturday, April 17, 2010 -- With air travel out of the UK and Europe still at a standstill, and conditions predicted to deteriorate further due to the huge cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull, the members of Bad Lieutenant and their management have come to the disappointing decision to cancel their Chicago and New York dates that had been set to take place on Monday, April 19 and Wednesday, April 21, respectively.
"We're stuck in Manchester," said Bad Lieutenant's Bernard Sumner. "We were hoping that conditions might change at the last minute and we'd be able to come and play for our fans. Obviously, this is a situation out of everyone's control, and we are crushed that we won't be coming to America for these dates."
Since British air space was closed on Thursday morning, the band also canceled their planned appearances in San Francisco last night and today at the Coachella festival near Palm Springs, CA.
Refunds will be available for ticket holder at the point of purchase.
Birthed at the nexus of 2008 and 2009, Giantess has already come along way in their short existence. Hailing from Boston, USA, their debut single Tuff n Stuff was produced by Passion Pit's own Ayad Al-Adhmy, who they in turn remixed in exchange. In their own words it is like: “Prince(purple rain era) made love to a spaceship made out of Synths harboring Beastie Boys, Chromeo and the Killers inside, whilst flying to the moon in order to give birth to a digital pop love child next to the American Flag… we left the new kids on the block at home with their moms. Pussys.” The 7” is out through the hotter than hell boutique label Neon Gold and is rarer than dodo eggs.
