Hi,

We are unbelievably gutted (sean is in tears) to announce that tomorrow's LES SAVY FAV show at New Slang is off (for now). They've had troubles getting work permits to get into the country and this has meant they physically won’t get into the UK for our date, but will still get in in time for ATP this weekend. The band has expressed their apologies, particularly for the late notice, and has already booked a rescheduled date with us for August 7th.

Of course, tomorrow night will go on. WE ARE THE PHYSICS would be headlining any other New Slang anyway. Their Devo meets Dartz! fun has grabbed us all in equal measure and their show is spot on for anyone who would have been coming to see LSF anyway. That's why we chose them to support. Its also the best club night with the best people there is.

However, we understand if people do want cash back. If you've bought a ticket this will be valid for August 7th, or you can still come to New Slang and get your £2 back on the door. If you want to send your tickets back for a full refund you can, just remember to include your order number. You can bring them back to Banquet Records in person, or send them to Banquet Records, 52 Eden Street, Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, KT1 1EE.

Once again, sorry about this

yeah

my girlfriend just phoned and got confirmation of this,
bit of a shame was looking forawrd to it,
silver lining is that the tickets are valid for august i guess,
something to look forward to i s'pose!


I went to Death Cab last night.

Getting too old for two gigs in a week so will count this as a blessing...not really, I'm gutted.


bugger

I'm still going ..

We Are The Physics are an absolutely superb live act. I can understand if people didn't want to go because LSF have cancelled, but before you make your final decision on this, listen to the new single "You Can Do Athletics".


bugger

I was looking forward to seeing them at new slang, it must have just happened as there was a bulletin at 2 o'clock advertising it!
Oh well, I have my atp ticket =)


damn it!


*cries*


i am

last night out at uni!


I AM SO

GUTTED! B*LLOCKS.... i was coming down from leicester for this, i even had friday off work as well so no nightmare 6am trains back, frak.

and i can't get down for august 7th, double arse! i was finally looking forward to getting to a new slang (and right before my friend finishes uni, so last chance really!) and with it being les savy fav would've been soooooooo good.

so again i am gutted, sorry we are physics but just not worth the trip down.....

bummer

FOR FUCKS SAKE

does anyone want return tickets from london-oxford this friday?


:(

you could join me in standing outside the academy and punching walls with tears streaming down my face. cuntshitfuckFUCK


:(

i might do that actually. is there anything nice to do in oxford then?


Is there anywhere we can complain about this ?

I mean, work permit problems should not HAPPEN to musicians. Like Les Savy Fav are going to take up residence in the UK and start claiming the dole. This has happened before to bands I have had tickets for, notably Knife In The Water (who I don't think have ever been back).


wait until the tories take over

and you can moan to Alex-In-Ciderland.


Tough on indie immigrants,

tough on the causes of indie immigrants!

Is the Oxford show going ahead?


FUCKINGFUCKFUCK

that's so unbelievably fucking lame.


is there anything nice to do in oxford?

help me please :(


yeah

it's a nice place. Good pubs and stuff and really cool to walk around on a summer evening, although if you're looking for a great nightclub or something you'll be massively disappointed.

We should have an alternate DiS party or something since so many people were going. A crying party perhaps.

I'm really disappointed about this, it was the one non-revision-related thing I was doing in the next 2 or 3 days.


SAME HERE MAN

also i absolutely hate nightclubs so that's good. can we arrange a meeting in a nice pub please? i don't want to waste 12 pounds on an oxford tube ticket and not see what oxford looks like :D

a crying party sounds good.


yeah probably

start a thread on it tomorrow and organise people!


:(

i don't eat pigs...i wish i did, they look great.


hey!

they have non-pig sausages! :D

i want to go to this :D


It's a great place man!

Friendly service too. It's right in Jericho so some nice pubs to go to before and/or after.


:(

^ my face


I'm currently

watching Les Savy Fav live videos and quietly sobbing.

I've been looking forward to this for months. Goddamnit.
