Alexei here.
I want to extend my whole-hearted regrets to those who were planning on coming to our US shows this week. We are so wholly disappointed that we could not play for you. Dan and I have both been wildly excited for this tour. Really.
We are already working on scheduling shows south of the border for the near future. We cannot wait until it works out.
I am very sorry for all who lost out on this. I assure you we feel equal measures of disappointment and loss.
In this last six months, the fists of the US Border Protection Services and The Department of Homeland Security have come down pummelling; making it extremely difficult for touring bands to enter the country. Our record label and booking agent are working hard to get us different visas that will allow us to reschedule the East Coast tour and perform dates out to the Mid-West in July.
Again, we are really upset. We were really looking forward to performing these songs in front of a US audience.
Sorry About Charlie

It will be worth the wait

I feel ya! I love Canada like a brother, yet, you can't just drive across anymore. I'm kind of embarrassed. Land of the free? Free what? Ahhhh don't get me started.

Anyway, my husband received the album from me as a "hey, i love you and here is a great new album" gift the day it came out.

He loves "hearts of iron" and "the radio's hot sun". me too.

well, when you get to cleveland, you've got a place to sleep and eat :-)

cheers

the malfunction family.

That's strange--I'm sure that Canadians (I'm Canadian myself and frequently cross the border with no problem) don't need visas to enter the U.S., all that is needed now is your Canadian passport (before 01/2007, you could cross with simply your birth certificate), and then you can enter the U.S. for up to 90 days.

Bastard border patrol! I'm sorry to hear it :-(

Plague park sounds wonderful though! Keep fighting the good fight.

Hye Alexei and Dan,
Is there any chance you would grace Edmonton with your music? I am sure we could sell out for you!!!!
and a free place to stay and eat! Hope all is well.
