[trash-talk] european cancellations

[Shell Bryson]

You have to conside too that the band makes most of its 
money off of touring and promotions, NOT album and single 
sales (the band aren't big enough to make millions off of 
singles). So it is a BIG DEAL to cancel a tour because 
that's a lot of money to throw away. Not to mention the 
costs of venues and tickets which STILL have to be paid 
for partially even when a gig is cancelled.

I'm pretty pissed off that there are no more UK gigs, and 
there is no way we can travel to the US or Australia to 
catch the last few - but then, we'll just catch them when 
tour part 2 happens later in the year / next year ;)
