On the subject of the Canadian cancellations: "Besides the aforementioned dilemma, the Canadian dates on the Life On The Ropes tour were cancelled due to harassment at the border. The authorities held us for 8 hours and decided to take every dime we had. Most of this money wasn't even profit, but money we owed for touring expenses. Imagine working for 2 months straight, having proof of where your money came from (receipts, invoices etc.) and then having someone sieze your earnings pending a 'criminal' investigation. That is exactly what happened to us. Itâ s going to take 2 weeks to 3 months before we hear if weâll even get our money back. Our legal fees don't help our situation either. We strongly urge all Canadians to write their local politicians and complain about the treatment musicians are getting at the border. Our fear of what the authorities are capable of kept us from continuing our tour into Canada."… but wait, there's more. "First things first. Our New York show at The Roxy has been cancelled. Can you believe this shit? The club claims the Bouncing Souls, H20 show got out of hand. From what we heard the club was treating people like shit. As much as we donât want to support asshole bouncers and club owners, we're dying to play a show in our home town. We will try to play a NYC show a.s.a.p., possibly in January." I'm going to resist the obvious Sick Of , but you get the drift.
