[kj] OT: NMA US tour cancelled...

[countessghoulita at aol.com]

 I hate to say this (ditto). I saw NMA in 2003. Sure, the gig was announced to be acoustic, yet they played their new stuff. The only old song they performed was "Stupid Questions". I knew I could not expect to listen to "Vengeance", "Bittersweet", of course "51st State", yet they could have performed "Vagabonds" at least, if it had to be acoustic. Was pretty disappointed. Of course it is great performers, but I fear that their newer works lost somewhat their edge.

I hate to say this... And I could be wrong....But I do not think they fill 
gigs in the USA like the use to. They have been here a gang of times. So why 
would they be denied?

Our apologies to

We are sorry to

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..
