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

[Leigh Newton]

I've been denied entry into the US twice. American Border guards are the worst fucking people in the world.

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..
