King Biscuit Time tour cancelled
- Artists:
- King Biscuit Time »
It would seem that former Beta Band man Steve Mason has called it quits on his King Biscuit Time project.
The band's forthcoming tour dates have been pulled, with a spokesman adding that Mason has "had enough".
King Biscuit Time's debut album, Black Gold, will still be released. Expect it to 'drop' on May 15th.
The tour was due to start in Belfast on May 12th and wind up in Glasgow on May 23rd. If you've got tickets, um, go get your money back already.

Supersonic 2008: the DiS review
what the hell?
already?
what a bellend.
not a publicity stunt is it?
like that whole 'our album is shit' thing...
!
Moron. I wish I was touring.
I don't think it's publicity
He hates the way the music industry works which is why the Beat Band broke up.
strange
I just did an interview with him a few weeks ago and he seemed in good form.
well his manager is
myotherverygoodfriendAlan - shall I ring him and find out?
Hardly...
a reason to break up a band though is it.
It's the same as saying "Oh, I never want children I don't like the state of the world"
A friend of mine said this appeared on his Myspace site in the wee small hours a few days ago, and we're hoping it was the result of a pissed up hissy fit and that he'll change his mind. What caused him to get so fucked off is anyone's guess.
If it's serious then I personally think it will be a very sad loss to music. Judging by the attendances on the Beta Band's farewell tour, most people won't give a toss
ProxyPROLEFACT
a fellow 'student journo' at uni nicked an interview with the Beta Band off me and then said he'd wished I'd done it as they were really rude to him and made him look silly - I'd have probably cried.
!
I would say thats more understandable than this, certainly more important than music, why would anyone wish this world on another person, I wouldn't.
Maybe
he's just not a very nice person. Maybe people don't get on with him.
Bum
mer.
shame, but
The Aliens > King Biscuit Time.
GUTTED!
Spot on.
How refreshing it is to read someone saying that.
good grief
what is wrong with this man?
I remember a Beta Band interview with Steve Lamacq
They were HORRIBLE to him. If I was Lammo I'd have walked out. Just deliberately obnoxious, not 'cool' in any way at all.
king biscuit were
a bit shit though werent they? the couple of songs i heard were poor man beta covers. and i love steve mason.
I was
more looking forward to Kid Carpet supporting really...
