[kj] It starts...Album & tour Postponed to September

[Chris Williamson]

Yep fraid it's true. I had a phone call last night (don't ask) telling me that because the new album is "so fucking hot" the record company want to "promote the shit out of it" and don't have the time to give it maximum exposure. Seems it's out of the bands hands *looks upwards* and they are not happy.  Can't say much more at the moment.
 
Fucking lame!
 
I said they should at least honour some dates (London, Prague, Paris etc.) as the fire is beginning to burn out and the true Gatherers are getting a little chilly.  Wonder if they give a flying fuck!
 
Going to Prague for a weekend away anyway as I'm fucked if I'm losing out.
 
Get up. WAKE UP! - someone's taking you for a ride!

I heard today from a reliable source that it is all off ... and it's due to the record company wanting to properly promote the album cos they like it so much ... if that's true Spinefarm are a bunch of spineless tossers ... these dates were set up ages ago ... why not just release a single now and do a further tour in the autumn ...

My sentiments, exactly. If anyone has any direct connection to the band, please pass that on: We need the official story.

I'm going to go off on a limb here, but I blame Spinefarm records. Why? Because, honestly, if you're moronic enough to name your business venture "Spinefarm," I'd say there's a 99% chance that you really don't have your shit in order.


An official statement would be strenuously appreciated at this unfortunate-but-all-too-familiar stage of the proceedings.
