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 CrawdaddyFans 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!!
