Matos told me about this at the Slint show tonight. (Slint were pretty damned good, btw.)

M.I.A. is obv being closely watched by the FBI, as she is a threat to America's national security .

CANCELED? i saw that ticketweb wasn't offering tickets for the seattle date and had just assumed it sold out, and i was planning on camping outside the chopsuey all day on tuesday to try and find a ticket.

Oh well. saves me some trouble. ::cries::

Jesus, this is turning into a comedy.

Oh, hush Rickey. I was excited. I haven't seen a live show with choreographed dance moves since D.C. Talk in sixth grade.

Nooo, Kevin. I didn't mean you. I was excited about this, too. It just seems that between this and the delay in the release date, it's getting silly.

This M.I.A. gal has a prophetic moniker.

the dates were cancelled awhile back, around the time the release date was held up. i'm sure there's no connection.

Well, with her album out on Interscope, what the fuck would she be doing playing three nights of SXSW anyway?!

Are you guys sure? The Independent SF website lists it as being sold out, but says nothing about it being cancelled.

The seattle show is definitely canceled.

according to the promoter

― Kevin Erickson, Sunday, 13 March 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

guaranteed she got a plum opening slot for someone. but who..?

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 13 March 2005 19:17 (twenty years ago)

Her album's still on XL isn't it? Future albums are on interscope.

― deej., Sunday, 13 March 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

weird -- street posters went up for the SF show just last week!

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Sunday, 13 March 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

Arular's coming out on Interscope (in the US, don't know about elsewhere).

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 13 March 2005 22:04 (twenty years ago)

It's coming out on XL with distribution through Fontana (an arm of Universal, as is Interscope).

RE: Seattle show. Okay, the Thrasher Presents website says cancelled but Chop Suey and the weekly and the stranger don't. whatup? am i getting my hopes up over nothing?

― jergins (jergins), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 21:03 (twenty years ago)

sf independent website still lists show as sold out and happening...

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 21:10 (twenty years ago)

what i got from XL ppl is that she's awaiting a proper work visa but with so many bands applying for them for SXSW, hers is stuck in the queue. she's only cancelling shows that she knows she can't make, (hence, just seattle and SF right now) and is desperately holding out hope for SXSW. resched is planned once the visa is set.

Atlanta show is cancelled too :o(

― Jena (JenaP), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 21:33 (twenty years ago)

so yeah, they're slowly gonna drop them as they see fit.

― ken taylrr (ken taylrr), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

they are cancelled, this is made very clear on the beggar's banquet site.
