I was about to send a mail out asking who was around for these 2: Toby - both? Gary - Sequence (what time do you get here tomorrow? If it's during the afternoon and you want to check record shops give me a ring - though to be honest they've now decreased in number to the point where a guide's a bit overkill!).
However on the subject of tonight I'm sad to say I've just had the following message from Detroit Public Radio who were putting Jamal on: "Subject: Jamal Moss - Important Development Chumps/Chumpettes... Unfortunately UK immigration has not allowed Jamal entry into the country. After waiting and speaking with immigration for three hours this morning they told me they could not let him into the country and he would be returning, at once to chicago. They could not discuss why as this is "confidential information". I have later spoken with Jamal's agent who has informed me he has cancelled his whole european tour but will be rescheduling for May this year. It's not all bad news though! We've managed to catch Modern Love's Pendal Coven, on their way back from Berlin, where they played alongside Larry Heard and Maurizio/Rhythm & Sound at the CLUB TRANSMEDIALE.08 festival. We're really happy to have these stalwarts of deep electronics step in at the last minute and save our proverbial bacon! They've also promised to be dropping some unreleased CD-r's for your listening pleasure.... phwwwar. Finally, we'd like to apologize for Jamal's absence by reducing the door fee to £5. we've also made 100 or so CD's with a fresh, free Spandex Valley mix: Cosmic Movements which i'd like to claim is our best yet! (get down early, free CD's to first 100 or so chumps). So get down, K e e p R a d i o C o n t a c t x x x" I'm really gutted for the promoters. This sort of thing REALLY sucks. I'm also gutted as I was looking forward to this! I'll still go down for Pendle Coven. And hopefully there are too many amazing artists on tomorrow for immigration nazis to stop all of them Anyone in the area tonight or tomorrow hit me up.
