Generally, our beloved European prog bands will only come to the US either only for festivals or small tours on the left or right coasts. Very rarely do they tour the rest of the country otherwise. Of course for that matter very rarely do our beloved North American bands tour the US other than their home towns. Most of them spend the majority of their time in Europe or Japan. -------------

Right, I think a band like Pendragon would only lose money touring in the states, especially with gas prices the way they are. ------------- |

I read an article last week in the Wall Street Journal, (at least I think it was the WSJ), that talked about how many small bands have had to curtail or discontinue their touring because of the increased cost of gas. -------------

It'll make up for the one you missed in June Chopper!
About touring the States, the boys would LOVE to be able to. Someone makes an approach to the band with a reasonable proposition to pretty much ANYWHERE in the world then they would seriously persue that. An to be considered *reasonable* it needs not to LOSE a load of cash, thats all!
 There will be more touring in the spring. Hopefully, South America, Canada, Bulagaria, Romania and UK amongst other places

^ see post above and change USA for Scotland! 
in all seriousness it's being looked into for next year, although to be fair, gigs in the UK (england too) are notorious for being a big financial loser, and the further travelled the more lost so it's going to take some working out.......... but hopefully next year we'll haul ass up to Bonny Scotland

I think the plan for South America is for June, but we're waiting on confirmations at the moment, I'll post firm news AS SOON as we have it!
A "Shed Meet" in Bilston??? For Sure!!! I'm banking on it!!!! Beer and mowing tips abound!
Really looking forward to it! I'll join the tour in Barcelona
and finish up with them, So I'll be slightly fresher than the rest of the bus! |

^^^^ Yes please!!!!
Ok, hot news!
The Pendie on-line store now accepts all PayPal Payments as well as debit/credit cards. We've added this to the store due to the number of requests,(jolly good idea too!) all payments through the store are secure, the addition of PayPal to payment options means that the store is now open to use for those of you who don't carry plastic!
Hooorah!
 Did I mention pre-orders are open now.................???............................... |

Ok chaps, I've just added some more supporting bands to the list, and I have heard rumours from Pendie rehearsals that the boys will play differing sets each night,
 they are working upon hours and hours of material so that they can really shake things up a bit out on tour, some stuff never or rarely played live, some old fav's , some new fav's and of course some new, new stuff! Glad you got through ok Chopper, see you at The Peel!
Hoorah!

Sorry !
ha ha ha!
I'm sure there will be folks here who are going to some of these shoes who can at least tell us what they play at each gig, I'm sure the office will be the last place to be informed!
 I'll be relying on the chaps in Europe to tell us ! It's getting exciting though, only 11 days until MegaDaze !!! GULP!

I'd love to bid for that Masquerade Overture coat Rach, sadly I don't think my wife would be too impressed. Still, it would look good on the train to work. |
