[kj] steady on...

[Karen Weil]

I've heard not -- but given this band, one never knows. 
(I've still got my tix from the cancelled '11 show here in S.D. -- maybe
they'll make good on that.)  ;)

Wait for the official word, but yes, Japan is likely not happening.  Look at
the tour dates so far and you'll see that one show there didnt make sense. 
No, the band is not happy that dates keep getting booked without internal
coordination.  It is not a portent of anything else.  The shows with the
Cult and Mission are a go, and the plan is to "blow them off the stage". 
Take heart in that.
 
The guitar (no longer) for sale is another matter and is being handled
promptly - also not to be construed as a portent of anything negative.   
 
I wanted to share these reassurances directly.  No need to puke back with
statements about how "this is no way to manage a band...dont they care about
their fans...etc...".
 
They do.  In a nutshell, the business end of the music business is as
chaotic as its ever been.  Many matters are outside the band's span of
control.  Hard to accept that reality but this is the case. 
 
As I've tried to convey before; stay with it, the music will come, and it
will be worth the wait.

OK, as you seem to have some info on the inner workings of the band, lemme
ask you this - is it true a North America tour is not happening in 2012?
