US: Chicago Acoustic Performance THIS SAT
Join The Airborne Toxic Event, Q101 and DJs Sherman & Tingle at The Hard Rock Cafe on Saturday for a very special free lunchtime 1:30pm acoustic performance.
Lawrence and Des Moines canceled despite our greatest efforts..
This sucks, we know. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in the humbling position of having to cancel our next two shows in Lawrence (Feb 25) and Des Moines (Feb 26). Our singer Mikel’s laryngitis, coupled with a bad throat infection that’s actually paralyzed part of his vocal cords, has forced us to postpone these shows indefinitely. Since rescheduling our last three shows (Boise, Salt Lake City, and Denver) for April, we’ve padded the end of our tour to such an extent that we’ve simply run out of time. This isn’t easy to announce, nor is it really a decision as much as it is a physical reality that we’re trying to deal with the best way that we can.
All tickets can be refunded at the point of purchase.
This past week has been very worrying for us, and we hope we haven’t terribly inconvenienced you or let anyone down.
We know there’s been a huge amount of support in both of these cities—more than we could hope for—and we promise we’ll make it up to you. We’ll definitely be back in the fall and hopefully before then.
Denver show rescheduled (due to laryngitis)..
Good afternoon,
We’re so bummed to announce this, but our singer Mikel is still going through a bad case of laryngitis, and we have no choice but to reschedule tonight’s show in Denver at the Bluebird Theater for April 15 at the Ogden Theatre. As we mentioned before, Mikel came down with laryngitis toward the end of last week and has been under doctor’s orders not to speak for a few days. We’ve been waiting to see how his voice heals, but after a few days and no significant improvement, Mikel met again today with the doctor (a voice specialist), who told him that he not only has laryngitis, but a serious infection in his vocal cords, and that it’ll take longer than we thought to get better. Luckily, there’s no permanent damage.
Here’s the new date and venue:
Apr 15 – Denver, CO – Ogden Theatre (Rescheduled from Feb 23) – TIX
We’ve been really reluctant to postpone these past few shows, as we’d been looking forward to playing Boise, Salt Lake City, and Denver. It’s a been a crazy six months of non-stop touring for us, and we fully intend to keep it going full steam as soon as Mikel’s …
