THE CROWN/GOD DETHRONED: mussten Shows canceln

Sowohl THE CROWN, als auch GOD DETHRONED mussten ihre Shows in Slowenien, und im Falle GOD DETHRONED auch in Italien canceln. Während THE CROWN massive Probleme hatten, die slowenische Grenze zu überschreiten, fielen GOD DETHRONED nach eigener Aussage der Unproffesionalität des Promoters zum Opfer, der einfach keine Flugtickets für die Band gebucht hat. Die Statements der Band findet ihr in der Anhang der News.

Sowohl THE CROWN, als auch GOD DETHRONED mussten ihre Shows in Slowenien, und im Falle GOD DETHRONED auch in Italien canceln. Während THE CROWN massive Probleme hatten, die slowenische Grenze zu überschreiten, fielen GOD DETHRONED nach eigener Aussage der Unproffesionalität des Promoters zum Opfer, der einfach keine Flugtickets für die Band gebucht hat.

Hier das Statement von Marko Tervonen (THE CROWN):

Let me first start by telling you that the 2 Italian shows we did was fucking excellent. Very cool. A big Grazie to the bands and fans we met.

But the Slovenian experience was a big fucking mess. Here´s the story:

We came to the border and were denied getting into the country. The reason was that we didn´t have documents from the Swedish and Italian government saying that we were the owners of our equipment. Let me tell you one thing, we have played in 17 countries (EU and non EU countries) and NEVER had a problem like this before. So we decided to go to a second border. And we were denied again to enter the country. And this time NOT ´cause of the equipment but simply ´cause they didn´t want us to get in. SO… we decided to try a THIRD border. And surprise surprise, they let us in with no problems, they didn´t even want any documents. But then they decided to not let in the opening acts, and all the backline (drums, amplifiers etc.) were in their bus. So we waited 4-5 hours on the border hoping that they would let them in. We asked our tourmanager to contact the Slovenian promotor and beg him to provide some drums and amps for us. At this point we were prepared to do a show with one cymbal only if necessary. But the reply was that the promotor couldn´t get us any kind of instruments. We were REALLY looking forward to do these two sold-out shows. We even planned to record them on video.

The bottomline is, we had to go back to Italy and cancel these two shows. Very fucking frustrating, but what could we do? The border acted like they could do whatever they wanted to.

And the fucked up thing is that we heard that people had traveled from Croatia and Austria to see us perform.

Trust me, we are as sorry as you that we couldn´t play.

This cancellation was TOTALLY beyond our control!!!

Sincerely:

Marko – The Crown

Hier das Statement von GOD DETHRONED:

God Dethroned would like to apologize to all the Italian and Slovenian fans who came to see the shows we were supposed to do with The Crown.

We would like to state that we really wanted to play those shows, but due to a lack of professionalism of the tour promoter we were unable to show up.

The simple reason for this is the flight tickets never got sent to the band.

After several excuses of the promoter the final (and most ridiculous) excuse was that the UPS truck was involved in an accident and burned out totally with (of course) our flight tickets inside.

Now the guy promises us to send us the money for the shows, which of course will also never happen.

God Dethroned are very dissappointed about not being able to perform for our Italian and Slovenian fans, but this was totally beyond our control!

We hope to see you next time on tour!

On behalf of God Dethroned,

Henri Sattler
