Statement from Girlschool
regarding the cancellation of recent gigs
GERMAN & USA SHOWS CANCELLED DUE TO U.S. VISA
PROBLEMS
WE ARE ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED THAT WE HAD TO CANCEL THESE SHOWS DUE TO
THE INCOMPETENCE OF THE POWERS THAT BE, THE PEOPLE THAT WE HAD TRUSTED
TO DO THEIR JOBS AND THE BUREAUCRACY OF THE AMERICAN EMBASSY REALLY
SUCKS.
WE HAVE SPENT 4 DAYS AT THE EMBASSY THIS WEEK WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT
OUR VISAS HAD ALL BEEN APPROVED AND THAT THEY WOULD TRY AND HURRY THEM
UP SO WE WOULD GET OUR PASSPORTS RETURNED TO US BEFORE WE WERE DUE TO
LEAVE FOR GERMANY ON THE NIGHT OF AUG 30th. WE THEN SPENT 2 DAYS ON THE
PHONE BEGGING FOR OUR PASSPORTS TO BE RETURNED TO US BUT WERE TOLD THAT
IT TAKES 3-5 WORKING DAYS.
WELL AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WE COULD'NT BELIEVE IT AFTER WE HAD BEEN TOLD
THAT THEY WOULD COURIER THEM BACK TO US ASAP. WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL ALL
THE SHOWS AND ARE EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED THAT WE HAVE LET OUR FANS DOWN.
TO ANY BANDS THAT ARE APPLYING FOR A U.S VISA, MAKE SURE THAT YOU APPLY
AT LEAST 6 MONTHS BEFORE YOU GO; THAT WAY YOU CAN BE SURE OF GETTING
YOUR PASSPORTS BACK IN TIME.
ONCE AGAIN WE WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO THE GERMAN AND AMERICAN FANS -
AND THE CONCERT PROMOTERS - HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE THEM SOON IF WE EVER
GET OUR PASSPORTS BACK.
CHEERS YOU LOT!!!

The Album version of Crazy has been put on
the downloads page of the site as a free download. If you like the song, in
return for getting it for free, could you ring up your local radio
station and ask them to play it... if possible could you also please
download it and send it to as many Anti War websites and Forums all over
the world it would really help Girlschool and maybe the remix version of
the song will come out as a single as a result.
