Hi everybody,

This is just a quick note to let you know that Mouthwash have cancelled their gig with us on the 23rd of May to play with the King Blues in London instead.  I guess the West Country DIY punk scene wasnt good enough.

Many of you have already told me you were looking forward to this gig so Im gonna find another band with the right attitude to the punk scene.

The show will still go on..Wonk Unit are brilliant as are the Dead Subverts.  I promise you the third band will be as good if not better than Mouthwash.

See you all on the 30th April for Power Is Poison from Holland at the Phoenix in Plymouth and the 16th May for the Alldayer with Inner Terrestrials and 11 other bands and artists.

All different /All equal

We would like to say sorry to anyone who wanted to see us in Torquay, we apologise and we will be back. I hope you can understand our predicament... and please, dont listen to this clueless numpty who is bad mouthing us. He hasn't got a clue/a leg to stand on.

peace x

I was asked to book you. I did. I have spent money on flyers and advertising since January. My customers were looking forward to this gig. Please give me a valid reason then as to why you cancelled. If it is so that you get more money I believe that is the wrong attitude, If it is to play with more high profile bands I beleive that is the wrong attitude. If it is because of illness or similar then fair enough. However as far as I can see from your profile your are still playing a gig that date with Antiflag and The King Blues. Please advise. If I am wrong I will happily apologise.


Kind regards

Cher

Hi there

Ok I accept your apology however,you might want to think twice about cancelling bookings in the future because it's really dissapointing for all involved and will damage your reputation.


Thanks

Hello

OK, we are sorry that we cancelled. The reason we cancelled is because we were offered the support for Anti-Flag and The King Blues in Kingston. We are going to be paid £60.. Hardly selling out. We felt that this was a gig we could not refuse... We have been in DIY band for over 10 years now and it is tough to stay afloat, as you probably are aware.. so, when you have the opportunity to play a show which may raise your profile it cannot be turned down... In order to keep on doing this we need to try and get as many people as possible to like our band so we can sell CD's, t-shirts and be offered more gigs/tours. It is common sense. I'm sure if you were in/managing a band you would have made exactly the same decision.


To think for one second that we are selling out by doing this show is delusion to the point of insanity.


We don't like letting people down and the only reason we were rude in our comment was in response to your character asassination of us. You don't know what we are like as people.. thoroughly nice young men infact, and we regret having to let you and the people of torquay down but i'm afraid this time it must be done.


I hope you understand, and once again we apologise.


The wash
