Latterman has cancelled their forthcoming Northwestern dates due to adverse weather conditions. The band issued the following announcement as a bulletin on their Myspace page:

As a result of the current and future weather conditions in the mountains of the northwest and northern parts of the mid-west, Latterman's tour has unfortunately had to be somewhat labotomized. We're cancelling our northwest shows and shows in the surrounding areas. Driving through the mountains in ice, sleet, snow and rain with our rear-wheel-drive van left us to deliberate for two days on how to deal with driving to our upcoming shows. Also, recently two bands have had van accidents in the areas we're supposed to be in that ended fatally for some of the band members. After a much disheartened discussion, we came to this difficult decision. From now until, at the very least, Milwaukee, WI on December 20th, we will not be playing the scheduled shows. We will probably be able to make it back out for the Chicago, Cleveland and Philadelphia dates. More information regarding these shows will follow in the coming weeks.

The affected dates are from December 9th through the 20th, including the shows in Portland, Port Townsend, Seattle, Missoula, Pierre, Minneapolis, Madison and Milwaukee. The tour will resume on the 21st Chicago, IL.

The upstarts from Long Island released No Matter Where We Go…! this year on Deep Elm, who reissued their debut Turn Up The Punk, We'll Be Singing this year as well.
