The effects of the devastation following the earthquake in Northern Japan on 11th March are now being felt as far afield as in the Australian music touring calendar, with promoters Frontier canning Sydney and Melbourne dates for the moody London based rockers. A statement from the promoter says:
The band were very much looking forward to visiting Melbourne and Sydney after their Japan dates but with those shows now cancelled following recent disasters, it is unfortunately no longer financially viable to perform the two headline shows here.
The UK band are working towards lining up a full tour of Australia in the future and apologise to Australian fans for the cancellation.
