Gang Gang Dance annule tout!
Ce samedi 14 février, alors que le groupe s’apprêtait à quitter Amsterdam pour se rendre à Bruxelles dans la cadre de sa tournée européenne, quelle ne fut pas sa (mauvaise) surprise de voir que l’équipement entreposé pour la nuit dans une salle avait été détruit par un feu. Dans un message posté sur sa page MySpace, le groupe explique l’incident:
"We stored our gear in the club last night and when we arrived there today to pick it up and head off to Brussels for tonights show, we were informed that an electrical fire had occurred in the very room where our stuff was stashed. We didnt really know the scope of how bad the fire was until we arrived on the scene to find every piece of equipment we own scattered out in the parking lot...melted, charred, and still smoldering. Most of our gear is way beyond repair and the small amount of stuff that looks as if it wasnt physically destroyed by the fire itself has all been doused by the firehoses. (…) It is really devastating for us as our equipment is very specific and without it we cant do much of anything. Most of our memory cards for our samplers melted so we've lost a bunch of jams that we were really looking forward to playing for you all. While we did entertain the thought of just renting or borrowing a bunch of random gear and somehow continuing the tour and just improvising every night, it just doesn't seem like its going to work out."
Vous l’aurez compris, la tournée européenne de Gang Gang Dance est purement et simplement annulée - et cela inclut évidemment le concert que devait donner le groupe d'ici peu au Point Ephémère.
