Life´s not fair.
Division of Laura Lee will not tour North America at this point. All our
shows together with Rye Coalition and Your Enemies Friends are cancelled.
What´s our motive, you might ask. The answer is, of course, financial
difficulties. In other words, suddenly there´s no money.
According to a certain record-company, there´s no chance in hell
they´ll lend us the amount of money we need to cover the costs (van-rental,
plane-tickets and so on...). They probably couldn´t afford to send
us to Denmark. Apparently there´s better (or maybe worse) things
to support than DOLL.
There´s no way we could pay for it ourselves, our last thousand-dollar-bill
was spent on the London-show with The Soundtrack Of Our Lives last tuesday.
Man, a 1000 bucks wouldn´t get us half the way across the atlantic
ocean.
Together with our management, we´ve been trying desperatly to figure
something out, but on such short notice it´s hopeless. We feel terribly
bad about this whole mess, it´s not a good move to cancel two(!!!!)
American tours in three months time, it´s a disaster. Belive me,
I´m broke and unemployed, I want to tour. We all do.
As soon as these issues are sorted out we´ll return to the U.S.
and Canada. There´s no way we´re giving up on you. We´ve
got a great album to support and great friends to make. Hopefully it won´t
take long, but with this business you can´t really tell... In the
meantime, keep your ears open, we´ll try to stay creative.
I read somewhere that Bill Gates earns about 15 hundred dollars every
second. I´m not the one to judge whether he´s worth it or
not, but let me tell you, we could sure use a minute or two of his time
right now...
Keep in touch
Yours truly
Jonas, divisionoflauralee.
