Our apologies to anyone who has already received this message...

We are sorry to deliver this bad news...

VISAS Denied. North American tour cancelled.

We have regrettably been forced to cancel the North American tour  
that was due to start this week. The US Citizenship and Immigration  
Service have denied the visas that the band require to travel to the  
USA and so until this matter is resolved all shows are on hold.

The band and management are extremely disappointed by this result as  
the tour was destined to be one of the greats. The new album is out,  
there is media attention in every city and the expectations are  
(were) high from the thousands of fans who had bought advance tickets.

The dates will be re-booked once the Immigration situation is  
resolved. In the meantime, ticket refunds are available from the  
point of purchase.

At present time we are still awaiting the reason for our denial from  
the proper authorities.

Check back for updates as we will be further investigating this matter.

Despite all the gloom there is a light at the end of the tunnel...  
"HIGH" was released in the US on Tuesday and reports are that sales  
are brisk..
