Black Mountain Missed NYC show because... | Touring

Tickets are on sale for Black Mountain's shows that include Sept 27 at Maxwell's in Hoboken and Sept 28 at Mercury Lounge in NYC. All tour Dates after the explanation for the band's no-show at the Bowery Hold Steady show....
"At near the outset of their tour with Coldplay, Black Mountain missed two shows because of completely unforeseeable immigration issues that held up band member and Vancouverite Stephen Mcbean at the Canadian / US border. Black Mountain had completed the proper work permit paperwork allowing all members into the US to open up for Coldplay legally, and all was set, except there was incomplete data for Stephen Mcbean that prevented him from coming into the United States, as per the U.S Department of Homeland Security's new guidelines for allowing entry into the United States....
...Basically, some U.S. Immigration's database of information for Stephen Mcbean was not jiving with some Canadian "database in the sky", and Stephen Mcbean had to chase down some physical paperwork to fill in the dots. With the help of Coldplay's immigration lawyers, all was taken care of as quickly as it could have been and Black Mountain only ended up missing two shows, the Hartford, CT show with Coldplay and their much anticipated NYC show with The Hold Steady.
An interesting side story is that, after Black Mountain was in bureacratic limbo for some period of time on Thursday, the Black Mountaineers without Stephen McBean rushed to the Hartford, CT show. They got stuck in traffic getting into the Meadows Music Center, and band member Matt Camirand grabbed an acoustic guitar and ran through the traffic and to the gates of the arena, where he got a security guard to escort him right to the stage, where Coldplay's tour manager was awaiting him with some beers. Matt proceeded to play a 20 minute solo Blood Meridian set to a sold out stadium. For those who don't know, Blood Meridian is Matt Camirand and Joshua Well's other band when they are not performing as Black Mountain." [Black Mountain News]
