SHOW IN SIEGEN ON FEBRUARY 5TH MOVED TO ESSEN
An important note regarding the show in Siegen, Germany on the 5th of February. Since the arrangers apparently double booked the venue, the show has been moved to Essen, and a venue called Turock. Hope to see you there instead.

POLISH AND HUNGARIAN DATES CANCELLED
We regret to inform that the Polish and Hungarian dates of the forthcoming European tour have been cancelled. This is all due to circumstances beyond our control. We were looking forward to get there, and hope to be able to do so soon enough.
Also, the Prague date has been moved to the 14th of January!
