The Gossip, Noisettes & New Model Army cancel tours

Beth Ditto in Pop Magazine - Aug 2007 (more)

New album won't be finished in time, too tired, and VISA issues - those are the respective reasons The Gossip, Noisettes and New Model Army are giving for canceling their upcomining tours. More info below....

NOISETTES

The band has been touring non-stop for the last 2 years, the upcoming tour has forced the band to reconsider the effect another 8 week tour will have on them.

They will be taking the next few months to rest up.

Noisettes will be back in the US with a rescheduled tour, early in the new year.

Please stay tuned for more info and upates; many apologies to disappoint...

NEW MODEL ARMY
New York, NY – Our continent will have to wait longer to see the legendary NEW MODEL ARMY grace the stage. Due to visa complications, the band has been forced to postpone their North American tour, a statement that’s become all too common when our artistic friends from across the pond attempt to transport their music to our shores.

“Today we have been informed that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has taken precisely 20 weeks (instead of the usual 8 or 9) to DENY our I-129 Non Immigrant Visa Applications,” declares NMA manager Tommy Tee, both disheartened and in disgust. “I can only apologize on behalf of the band, as I know how much work has gone into all these shows. For our part, having spent the past four years trying to rebuild the fan base and reputation of the band in North America after a long absence, we are bitterly disappointed. ”

With current the state of the music industry, independent acts rely heavily on the touring atmosphere. This loss carries to promoters, venues and, most importantly, the fans. And the frustration is something that is completely out of the artists’ control.

"We’re really puzzled by this refusal to issue visas,” questions singer and guitarist Justin Sullivan. “Over the last few years, we've worked a lot in America ,building up to this tour with a well-received album, good press and good ticket sales. And during this time we've encountered no problems with the authorities and have been received with courtesy and hospitality throughout the country.”

THE GOSSIP
The Gossip have cancelled their upcoming tour of America as their upcoming live album won't be released in time.

The band were due to start promoting the album with an extensive tour of their native country, starting off in Seattle on 20 November.

However, due to a delay in the release of the record the band have decided they will save hitting the tour bus until they have a new product to push. [gigwise]

yes ma...did you ever go to the deli and order some sliced deli meats? Frequently, the deli meat is in a roll that is then sliced for your order. The deli meat is in a "casing". The casing is sometimes some edible rubbery stuff. Anywayz, one day after eating some fresh deli meats, I had an upset stomach. I went to take a crap and noticed something ticklish in my butthole. I pulled on it with my two fingers. Basically, it was like pulling a ribbon out of my ass. The deli casing was undigested by my gut. It was like a paper string covered with feces. Hope you like this posting!Note - The cheapest option is shaving your head with an actual net saving due to no expense for shampoos, conditioners, combs, brushes, or hair stylist. Of course, with this option you get no hair. Note: My Feet smell like rotting garbage in the summertime. Also, after intercourse, we throw each other's underwear at each other in reward for a job well done. In college, there was a girl known as the "Shitter". During anal intercourse, she shat all over the sheets. It was a mix of b.m. and blood. Apparently, during anal penetration she bled. That's how AIDS gets transmitted, so I'm told. A variety of shit comes out of different assholes. I get boners for men. Waxmen. Waxwings. Earwig. Only For The Weak. We shoulda supported Pearl Jam when we had the chance.

She's too busy crying and stamping her feet to do anything! What a loser! This is my meat beat manifesto! R.E.M. was better when the lead singer mumbled. Despite solid reviews and more than $2.2 million spent by MCA producing and marketing the album, the CD sold fewer than 400 copies in its first three months of release, according to the Journal. Performing looking like Pearl Jam circa 1993 was the band's first airing of its new self. Pfunder. And grooved to the soulful song of romantic endurance. Organ Donor #5. Easter Monkeys.

Hello Seahorse! The stink of hot smelly feet. Dark meat freedom ritual. Nerf Herder! Circles of Concrete. My underwear is rotting. My teeth are rotting in my head. My hair is standing out at end. There is a recurrent theme here of smelly feet. Where's my odor eaters? Woman Tries to Bring Skeleton on Plane.

Do you have smelly feet, too?
My hair is falling out of my head. I'm fed up with the media circus and curiosity-seekers.
I think one of the reasons that my feet stink is that they're so oily. Natalie Portman's Shaved Head - Sophisticated Side Ponytail Play Stop POPUP Favourite. Squirrelmaster. I'm Just A Crumb In Your Bread Box. Looker - Gates Of The Old City. Sic Alps - Strawberry Guillotine.
