THE ARSON PROJECT COMPLETE TOUR CANCELLED!

This might not come as some kind of surprise… the Grind Burnout tour is fucked. Despite all promoters have been informed lately i write this to avoid further misunderstandings. I've found out that there are some rumours about whats going on.

We have to cancel all the rest of the shows in february and march. Something like 20 gigs i have been working my ass off to fix. I started the booking in december, which was already way too late, but we really wanted to make this tour and i completed it about 3 weeks ago when i also got the infection… First week i could not eat,drink, talk, sleep or even take my medicine. I had to go to the hospital a couple of times because i didnt know what the fuck to do. So we chose to cancel shows and keep the 3 last gigs on the tour.. unfortunately in my current condition I dont think its a very good idea to stress with this shit, and it would most likely only make things worse. Thats also seems to have been to most realistic and common opinion/advice.

I currently and since about 2 years back spend many hours each day to work with diy tours both for arson project and for my friends. And all of you should know that all we want to to is to tour and this sucks as much for us as it does for anyone else..

But dont think this would stop us, I just recently started to simultaneously work and make plans for 8 different tours in 2010. From 5—6 day minitours to bigger projects in the vein of Black Clouds Over Europe which we did last year. As soon as I confirm dates they will eventually be revealed. What I can say is that we are finally getting our asses out of europe! But so far, I cannot guarantee all of them willl happend though.

I'd like to give many thanks to some important people and good friends who helped and supported me until the very end to make this tour even possible from the beginning;

Danilo, Luc Favie, Koppa (see you in sweden!!), Andreas trashbastard, Dominik, Janosch, Daniel, Dirk, Kris, Peter & rest of diy zwolle, Joël/Blackbox, Paul Zwetsloot, Till, Floppy, Daniel of Hellborn Messiah, Roman Bernhard, Ptiot (le petit mongol), Markus, Loffi/Cyness, Harry/Chaos Squad and of course all the awesome bands and people we should have been partying with…


Thanks for your patience


We also wish Fuck the Facts all of best luck on their euro tour!
So stay tuned and please dont give up on us!
