  The Aliens cancel March 2007 UK tour

  Posted on 12th March 2007 in The Aliens

  This was just posted to The Aliens’ MySpace:

  ALIENS TOUR CANCELLED

  We regret to announce the cancellation of our tour dates due to an unfortunate episode involving lead singer Gordon Anderson and some overly high jinx.

  On Saturday afternoon Gordon fell and broke his clavicle whilst climbing a tree with band mate John. As a result the band will be unable to play the following dates:

  MARCH
  14th Sheffield Leadmill
  15th Nottingham Social
  18th Bristol Fleece
  19th London ULU
  20th Leeds Fathersham
  21st Newcastle Cluny
  23rd Glasgow Classic Grande
  24th Belfast Speakeasy
  25th Dublin Crawdaddy

  Fans that have bought tickets can use them again when the dates are rescheduled or contact the promoter for a refund.

  On a lighter and less painful note, the album ‘Astronomy For Dogs’ is out on Monday 19th March!!
