BAD LIEUTENANT CANCELS REMAINING U.S. CONCERT DATES

LOS ANGELES, CA – Saturday, April 17, 2010 — With air travel out of the UK and Europe still at a standstill, and conditions predicted to deteriorate further due to the huge cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull, the members of Bad Lieutenant and their management have come to the disappointing decision to cancel their Chicago and New York dates that had been set to take place on Monday, April 19 and Wednesday, April 21, respectively.

“We’re stuck in Manchester,” said Bad Lieutenant’s Bernard Sumner. “We were hoping that conditions might change at the last minute and we’d be able to come and play for our fans. Obviously, this is a situation out of everyone’s control, and we are crushed that we won’t be coming to America for these dates.”

Since British air space was closed on Thursday morning, the band also canceled their planned appearances in San Francisco last night and today at the Coachella festival near Palm Springs, CA.

Refunds will be available for ticket holder at the point of purchase.

BAD LIEUTENANT CANCELS COACHELLA APPEARANCE

jade — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:54:00 +0000

LOS ANGELES, CA – April 16, 2010 — Having exhausted every possible scenario to make their way to the United States from their UK homes, the members of Bad Lieutenant – Bernard Sumner, Phil Cunningham, Jake Evans, Stephen Morris and Tom Chapman – have determined that there is simply no way for them to play at tomorrow’s Coachella festival. The volcanic ash cloud formed by the eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano on Wednesday continues to keep British airspace closed and all flights in and out cancelled.

The band is very disappointed not to be able to play for their fans.

SAN FRANCISCO HAS BEEN CANCELLED

jade — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 20:07:41 +0000

Bad Lieutenant, scheduled to kick off their U.S. concert debut tomorrow night at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, have been forced to cancel the date due to this morning’s volcanic eruption in Iceland that closed British airspace. The band members – Bernard Sumner, Phil Cunningham, Jake Evans, Stephen Morris and Tom Chapman – who all live in the UK, had been scheduled to travel today into San Francisco. When British airspace was closed this morning and all flights were cancelled, they were able to get last-minute bookings for tomorrow on a flight that would have put them into San Francisco late in the day; but just moments ago, American Airlines announced that that flight has also been cancelled.

Bad Lieutenant is extremely disappointed in this bizarre turn of events as they had been very much looking forward to coming to the Bay Area. The band’s management is doing everything it can to make an alternative flight itinerary for the remaining dates.

Refunds will be available for ticket holders at the point of purchase.

Hello everyone,
Unbelievably, our flight to San Fran is cancelled due to a volcanic eruption in Iceland. Volcanic ash has meant that all uk airports are shut down til midnight at least. We’re stuck in Manchester trying to stay positive. Doing everything we can to get there.

Hello Everyone,

Just want to say how much we are looking forward to our U.S. trip. I think most of us will be packing bags as I write this.

Also a massive thank you to all who entered the video competition. We’ve been viewing the entries and there’s some really good stuff in there. The winners will be anounced on the website shortly.

OK back to packing!

Cheers, Jake

Reviews of the Electric Ballroom Date

Some reviews of the Bad Lieutenant gig at the Electric Ballroom:

LIVE: BAD LIEUTENANT AT THE ELECTRIC BALLROOM

“But the evening’s wonderful vibes owe just as much to the emotional clout of Lieutenant themselves, who, true to form, resemble their mother band but also rage uncannily like other guitar-slinging dreamers of the Eighties’ new wave. Opener This Is Home and single Sink Or Swim will cause wry smiles to listeners of certain age.”

BAD LIEUTENANT – ELECTRIC BALLROOM, LONDON – 19/3/10

“One of Bad Lieutenant’s best songs, and current single, ‘Twist of Fate’, easily holds its own, with its refrain of ‘and the beat just goes on, and on, and on’ being perfectly cued by a propulsive ‘Crystal’. Revelation of the night is ‘Poisonous Intent’ morphing into some unheard classic, underpinned by a muscular synth line missing from the album version. Another surprise is the house-surge of the Chemical Brothers ‘Out Of Control’, on which Sumner leant vocals. It’s massive, and throws the crowd back to shape throwing days, filling Camden’s ballroom with lasers and contagious grins. At the unmistakable keyboards of ‘Temptation’ exploding to life, this bonhomie almost tips the roof off, as the crowd go ballistic.”
