Hi everyone,
How are you? September has been a strange month for us and the biggest test we have had in a while. Losing our bass player on the eve of a solid month of touring is never ideal but the train has to keep moving, Thanks to all of you that have supported us at the London and Swindon shows with Jonny filling in on bass. We would have played Plymouth and Barnstaple tonight as a 4 piece but unfortunately we can't play the whole German tour as a 4 piece as a lot of our songs just don't work with a guitar down, so we have had no choice but to cancel Plymouth and Barnstaple tonight due to the situation. We need to makesure we have a bass player in shape for our Germany tour and today is our last day to check everyone out. We fucking hate to cancel shows, its always a last resort!! it pisses us off and makes us angry as playing live is what we do this for! We are working with the promoters for these shows to reschedule dates asap so keep a check on our websites for news of that!
We are confident of being able to play the Bristol show tomorrow but please do keep a check on our websites for any last minute news, we will let you all know asap.
..Any interested bass players should still contact us expressing their interest in the long term job of joining Heaven's Basement, we are very confident of finding someone today who can come and kick arse with us in Germany but the door for the long term job is still open for anyone interested. Its important that we take our time with this type of decision, bringing new blood into the band is probably the biggest thing that can happen in any bands life and we won't rush that kind of decision. We have had to do everything a bit last minute but we do plan on checking out everyone who's interested once we get back from Germany.
Some good news if that we have confirmed a tour of Finland and Estonia for the end of October! We have never visited these places so we are really looking forward to it! The dates are the following -
27 Oct 2009 On the rocks - Helsinki, Finland
28 Oct 2009 House of Rock - Kouvola, Finland

31 Oct 2009 *TBC* - Turku, Finland
We are also getting close to confirming Nov dates in Italy, Spain and possibly France, aswell as some exciting news for December which will be announced in Oct.
We can promise you all that Heaven's Basement will be back firing on all cylinders very soon..by the time we get back to the UK for the papa roach tour we are going to fucking destroy so be prepared for a wild and savage Heaven's Basement:)..we are all looking forward to a new chapter beginning in the bands history!!
..To our fans in Germany, we look forward to seeing you all and we can't wait to get back on the diet of cheese and ham for breakfast every morning :)!
Love to you all!
