Xiu Xiu cancels 2014 tour

Bad news from Jamie Stewart aka Xiu Xiu:

I am disappointed and very sorry to say that Xiu Xiu will have to postpone our upcoming tour. I have been having increasing trouble with my throat for years, and this week my doctor advised me not to sing for at least two months or risk losing it permanently. Hopefully, as soon as possible, we will be able reschedule these dates. Thank you to our fans for continuing to support us. We love you all and look forward to seeing you all soon.

Those dates included a 3/13 stop at Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory. Rest up those vocal chords, Jamie.

You may remember that Jamie’s other project, Sal Mineo (with Eugene Robinson of Oxbow) canceled their tour last fall. All canceled tour dates are listed below…
