Why? postpones tour dates; reschedules tour dates; DiS boarders rejoice
Posted: 03 Jun '08, 13:59
Why? have postponed their right-now batch of UK dates as lead singer/songwriter Yoni Wolf has both banged up his hand and contracted mumps.
Tomorrow's sold-out show at London's Madame Jo Jo's is the first to be affected. Since Yoni's brother Josiah also has mumps, it's probably best that all of the below are off, for now:
June
4 London Madame Jo Jos
5 Leeds Faversham
6 Manchester Roadhouse
7 Bristol Thekla Venn Festival
8 Nottingham Bodega
It seems Manchester has already been moved to July 4, although DiS will confirm dates when we've official word. If you can't wait 'til then, monitor this thread.
Dates that are confirmed:
June
30 London Cargo
July
1 Brighton Barfly
5 London Wireless Festival
Why?'s Alopecia, released earlier this year via Tomlab, is amazing and you can read about it here. DiS caught the band's set at Primavera Sound, in Barcelona, at the weekend - check out our diaries here. Further review coverage and photo gallery to follow in the week.

They were absolutely brilliant at Primavera.
And it was a brave set too as Alopecia is such a brilliantly produced/layered record and they played it entirely live (as opposed to other bands who play along to backing tracks to recreate their brilliantly produced/layered records - I'm looking at you Flaming Lips/Of Montreal/Go! Team).
Get well soon!

good news for me
I was having to decide between seeing them in Manchester and going to get pissed at Keswick Beer Festival and seeing a Showaddywaddy tribute act. (sad but true. be warned younger Dissers, this is what happens when you hit 30...)
-
-
boooooo!
hope he mends soon
-
Why? - Brighton Barfly
We're just in the process of re-housing this show due to the closure of the Barfly. I expect it'll be either Digital or Audio. However, either way it will be forced to be an early show due to these venues being clubs! So stay tuned.
-
isn't mumps at old age
really bad news?especially if your a man.or did i dream that?
-
nope didn't dream it.......
it is bad news....................
-

doesn't it make you sterile or something? Or is that measles? Or shingles? Something like that anyway.
-

-
Your tadger swells to enormous size.
And then drops off, hitting the ground with a loud "Mump!"
-

-
It *can* make you sterile
don't think it's a given though.
-
-
-
I'll take it on for Oxford

-
Thank god for Dour Festival
I was seeing them on Thursday in Leeds and turning 19 at midnight, it was going to be the best birthday eve ever!
-
this is fucking awful.
i flew back 2 days early for it.
-
.
The Brighton show is now at Audio. All tickets remain valid but please note this is now an early show from 7pm-9:45pm AND the capacity of Audio is 150 people smaller so this show is now pretty close to selling out so you should get a ticket soon if you haven't already.
