Bruce Gilbert is no longer in the band.

I think they should've changed their name to "Wie", but the cute golfer girl probably would've sued them. [:p]

Yeah, bummer he's out, but they still sound good. No chance for me to see them on this tour, unfortunately.

seems to me more and more bands are opting for Tucson or skipping us altogether[V][:(!][:(]

* August 30: Offset festival, Hainaut Forest Country Park, London, UK
* Sept 08: The Scala, London, UK
* Sept 09: Met University , Leeds, UK
* Sept 10: Rescue Rooms, Nottingham, UK
* Sept 11: The Arches, Glasgow, UK
* Sept 12: Academy 3, Manchester, UK
* Sept 19: Melkweg , Amsterdam, Netherlands
* Sept 20: Minnemeers , Gent, Belgium
* Sept 21: ZXZW festival, Tilburg, Netherlands
* Sept 22: Botanique, Brussels, Belgium

from PinkFlag.com (or maybe posteverything)

There also remain a couple of US shows that are not yet confirmed, so keep an eye out on the front of the Pinkflag.com website for further additions. More European shows should also join the above line-up.

Oh good. Well, even if it happens to be a SoCal date, that would be good enough for a roadie. I drove to San Diego to see them in 2002 (well worth it, of course). Coop's right, some bands just skip over Phoenix and play Tucson. Maybe it's that straight shot on the 8 from S.D. that makes a band's travel plans easier. I've driven down to Tucson a couple of times to see The Fixx, and once to see Thomas Dolby.

re: Tucson instead of Phoenix: As someone who keeps an eye on shows (or lack thereof) in the SouthWest, I have noticed that too, coop. I wonder why this is ?

I think tenohtwo is exactly right, it is an easier drive. I was just talking to a club owner here Thursday night that has booked bands for over 20 years, he said the Fixx called him as they were touring but his new club doesn't have the capacity so they just passed on coming to town.

I've got my ticket for the Middle East show.Thanks again schwenko.

They haven't let me down yet!!!!!!!

did any of you see them at the FREE show they did May 30 at the South Street Seaport to kick of the River to River shows? I had found out about it the day before - it was a nice start to the summer concerts I must say!

from pinkflag.com

In further news, the North American tour listing is now complete with shows in LA and NYC (the latter being a free show to celebrate WFMU's birthday) now announced.

another free NYC show!
