Steriogram?

Good idea for a thread. This hurts a lot especially given that this happens usually the night of the Seattle show (like the Balkan Beat Box cancellation above.)

September 20, 2007... Motor (the duo on Novamute) turned away from U.S. Border.

note: sometimes these things happen because the artists and/or labels actually don't do their paperwork, to be a little fair

Milton, are you referring to bands/artists that get turned away as a nasty surprise after having done the proper paperwork? Or just anybody who gets turned away?
