Black Tape For A Blue Girl is NOT appearing at THEATRE DES VAMPIRES FESTIVAL

12 Years ago, Aldo (from Ex-perimento Radio and Samadhi Cafe) brought us down to Mexico City for a fabulous show. Great turnout, television interviews, we were treated very professionaly. A few months ago, Aldo contacted me about bringing Black Tape For A Blue Girl back to Mexico City to celebrate Ex-perimento's 13th anniversary. That evolved into Black Tape For A Blue Girl being put on the bill for the THEATRE DES VAMPIRES FESTIVAL. A proposal was made to us which the promoters were suppose to follow up on (ie: pay the deposit and buy the plane tickets). However, the promoters never contacted me. I sent 10+ messages to many email addresses (and myspace profiles) but no reply. Yet for a few weeks, the promoters were using a flyer with my band on it, and had our photo & description on their myspace page (now deleted).

I cannot do a show with a promoter who will not talk with me about doing a show! So I am stating clearly that we are NOT APPEARING at this event (if it happens at all).

I feel bad for fans who might have paid $450 for tickets to see us. 

To be clear, the problem is not the fault of Aldo or Mecanica (who were selling tickets). This is the fault of the promoter of THEATRE DES VAMPIRES FESTIVAL.

 
We are working on a proper show for our fans in Mexico City. 
Check back soon for more details.
Thanks for your understanding.

Sam

PS: If you have a video of the interview we did in '97 with Brozo, the creepy clown, can you please send it to me?


SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE: This show has been cancelled. You can get a refund for your tickets where you purchased them. I get stressed out when I spend all this mental energy thinking about things that don't happen. Sigh. Well..... now this is over.

....It's a shame that you're not coming to Mexico, I'd definitely would loved to see you guys live. And also embarrassing to see the lack of professionalism of the promoter, It's not fair for you or the fans. But I'll keep on waiting :P Greetings from Mexico.....

..I was going to buy the tickets yesterday (but I've got another apointment) only, just to see you at that event =S (By the way, there are tickets that cost $700).

It's a shame the lack of professionalism of these people ¬¬ (Shame on you "promoter"! >_<)

And it's a pity that you're not coming as soon as we believed =(

Many thanks for warning us, I'm going to spread the word within all my friends ;-)

And please, come to Guadalajara sometime =)

Thank you very much for the explanation. Really, Black Tape was the only band in that festival to buy a ticket for.

Waiting eagerly to see you.

Jorge.

Uf! You could smell it by the changes made time to time, now in prices, now in bands...

A shame to see a great band spending their time giving explanations because of irresponsible people.

Thank you Sam, you are so kind.

A shame, indeed, as several people have already said here, but again something that was highly suspicious to start with. It's sad that, now that there seemed to be some promoters interested in bringing something other than EBM or gothic metal bands to Mexico, they turn out to be far less professional than they should. Still, we'll be looking forward to a proper black tape for a blue girl show in Mexico City in the near future.

I saw the interview with Brozo ! It was strange to see Black tape on  T.V. I have searched  this video, but i didn..t find it!
 I  live in Guadalajara Mexico and the concert was in Mexico City...  I couldn..t see Black tape 12 years ago... Hope to have the chance to see you live soon.
