Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

Since By Man, the hotly tipped Milwaukee math-core band have had to cancel their upcoming European tour because bassist Bryan Jerabek has left the band.

According to a statement on their website the very future of the band looks to be in an "emergency room, life support situation." The rest of the statement continues as follows:

"...Today all we want is to still be a band tomorrow. For people that don't know us directly this may be a little difficult to understand. Why let one person, stand in the way of touring Europe? Because that one person was one fifth of Since By Man. As of right now we are not who we once were and we are not who we've been for the past two years.

"So here is what happened. Sunday night at midnight we received a mass email from our bass player in which he said that due to extremely extenuating circumstances he would not be able to go to Europe as well as be a member of this band. His situation is beyond dispute, so we immediately began to solve the problem of having no bass player for Europe. The following 48 hours, some of the most stressful hours of our young lives, lead to dead end after dead end. If there were anyway to get over to Europe and be even a semblance of the band that we have been over the past two years than we would have figured it out, and gotten on the fucking plane. It is just impossible. We can't just go to go. We have to go and be the band that we are, and that is totally not possible at this moment.

"We are aware that this decision, really the only one we have to make, will adversely affect lots of hard working, dedicated people. Marco and Ivonne at Avocado/Join The Team Player, Revelation Records, everyone in the European press that have been good to us, the bands, promoters, and most importantly the people that live thousands and thousands of miles away over a huge fucking body of water on a continent that we have never set foot on that wanted to come see us, that like our band. You are the reason we wanted to come in the first place, and you are the reason that we are working on the future of this band.

"We now have nothing to say beyond thank you and that we are sorry. This isn't an ending only a new beginning. Believe."

Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

Can I be the first to ask - WHO?

Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

hmmm, this news is slightly old.

I read it on dosomethingpretty last week.

Re: Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

Well, quite. The latest on the worryingly long list of bands I've only ever heard of by reading on DiS that they've cancelled tours/split up/been dropped/died in bizarre gardening accidents...

Re: Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

Since by Man are really quite good. Have you guys ever heard 'Refused'? They have a bit of that sound going on and loads more, their album is a rocker.

I'm pissed off that they aren't coming now, but the Birmingham show is still gonna be top because local boys Dead Sun Rising will be headlining now and they usually raise the roof.

Ah well, I just hope they sort their probs out and keep it going.

Re: Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

gutted :(

was massively looking forward to this tour.. and seeing as they'd replaced their london headliner with a support slot for youth of today at ulu, i was fully prepared to go see them in nottingham..or manchester.. or canterbury... or leeds.... or ANYWHERE where i could see em play a full set.

eden maine were gonna support them in canterbury too.

*woe*

if you've got any spare pennies, get "we sing the body electric" [mat's review here]. it'll all make perfect sense then.

Re: Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

Woe indeed.

I saw Eden Maine in Brum recently, quite good.

Come to Brum and rock instead Gen! Did you hear the new Hot Cross record yet? It's bloomin lovely.

Re: Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

Re: Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

Do you really expect to have heard of EVERY band that gets a mention on DiS?? Since By Man deserve a mention because a few of us reckon they happen to be the best thing since sliced bread, or unsliced bread for that matter, and at Download festival they were on the lips of many many people I spoke to!

DiS kinda have a habit of introducing peeps to new bands y'know.

Re: Since By Man Cancel European Tour!

still think they shoulda been on that 'best albums of the yr so far' list *muttergrumblegribblemumblegrrrrrr*
