Here's a newsflash:

We are going to make up the date in Minneapolis, MN, on May 4th,
2009, at the First Ave.

All the people who bought a ticket for the show last week will be contacted by
Ticketmaster (via email) about the new show date, but the old tickets will
not be honored.

We've been forced to cancel our Ultra Music Festival performance.

Unfortunately, Kele has contracted viral pharyngitis and is unable to perform today at the Ultra Music Festival in beautiful Miami, FL.

We send our heartfelt apologies to all our fans and the Ultra Music Festival organizers.

We hope to return to Miami, FL, at our earliest opportunity.
