First the Fratellis and now this!
Submitted by imaginary liz on June 5, 2007.As first reported on Line Out -- Matt & Kim have announced (via their MySpace blog) that they've cancelled their upcoming Seattle/Portland/Vancouver tour dates:
we are so so sorry to say that due to reasons we prefer not to go into, we will not be playing our shows in Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver. these shows are still going to happen and be awesome without us so go out and have a crazy time.
we will resume the tour in salt lake city and continue as scheduled.
we love portland and seattle and we were really excited to go to vancouver for our first time but we looked at all possible options and due to the circumstances, there is no way we can make it work. so we’ll surely be flying out to make up these shows in the summer.
again, huge apologies and see you soon.

First the Fratellis cancel out as they are about to head to Seattle, and now this!!!
Oddly, I'm still kinda pissed at the Fratellis for leaving the US just days before their Seattle stop... but I am not so mad at M&K. They're good eggs. They'll be back soon. I just hope it isn't due to some rash or something.
The Noise for the Needy show that they were on (Thursday night at Neumo's) is still going to rock the house. CSS alone is a DO NOT MISS!

OK so they don't want to go into the circumstances surrounding these canceled gigs, but there has to be one helluva a story if your skipping Portland and Seattle but still playing in Salt Lake.

Could it be VISA issue (getting into Vancouver)? Or a rash.

I'm in, too. It looks like Bonde do Role is not, though - which upsets me more than Matt and Kim cancelling.

Let me add some extra shimmer to your CSS excitement by revealing that at their Boston show they covered both "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone" by Sleater-Kinney and "Pretend We're Dead" by L7 (there's a "Pretend We're Alala" Donita Sparks remix on their MySpace right now).
Giddyup kiddies!

Yes! I hope CSS covers "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone" tomorrow night, too. With any luck I can find a bootleg on the internets somewhere and soon that version will be "on my wall, in my head, memorize it 'til I'm dead".
