The Pipettes tour delay thanks to issues with US visa - conspiracy? I suspect yes.
Submitted by imaginary dana on October 1, 2007.I've lost track now of just how many indie-bands have had to cancel or post their US-tours because of Visa issues, and as of this morning, we can add The Pipettes to that staggering list.
This just in:
Unfortunately, we have to push back our North American dates due to our visa paperwork being delayed. We're doing everything we can to fix this but we're going to have to delay the start of the tour until October 25.
The tour will now kick off on Oct 25 at the Echoplex in LA and the first week of dates (up to Vancouver) are unchanged.
We'll post more information on Monday with details on the new dates and what to do if you already bought tickets.
We're really sorry to be forced to postpone the dates this close and can't wait to get out on tour to make it up to you.
Selfishly, I think (hope) this means our November 1st show at the Croc is still safe... tho I'm guarded at best.

If those Pipettes need any comforting over this, they know where to find me ...

I'm starting to take this personally. First the feds ixnay my date with the Lily Allen and now this. I swear, if the State Department denies Annie a visa when she decides to return to the states I'm renouncing my citizenship.
