MUSIC NEWS- Bad Lieutenant have reluctantly announced the cancellation of their four USA concert dates booked to start next next week. Due to more stringent immigration laws and changing visa parameters resulted in an inability for the band's reps to process the necessary paperwork.
"We were all so very excited about coming to the States to play our new music for our American fans," said Bad Lieutenant's Bernard Sumner, "and are extremely disappointed that on this occasion, we won't have the opportunity to do so. We plan to reschedule the Chicago and New York shows along with some additional U.S. dates in Spring 2010."
The four cancelled Bad Lieutenant are:
November
18 - Park West (headline), Chicago, IL
19 - supporting the Pixies in Chicago, IL
21 - Webster Hall (headline), New York, NY
23 - supporting the Pixies in New York, NY
The concerts were in support of Never Cry Another Tear, Bad Lieutenant's debut release which came out Tuesday, November 10 (buy below thru MNN) . The band features New Order/Joy Division's Sumner, newcomer Jake Evans on vocals and guitars as well as guitarist Phil Cunningham and drummer Stephen Morris, musicians who helped make the legendary New Order a multi-Platinum-selling band and one of the most influential forces over the past three decades in the alt/rock/dance genres.
Bad Lieutenant's Spring 2010 dates will be announced soon.
