It's too bad to hear that you caught a mediocre P/O show.  They have put on some *phenomenal* performances back in the day...

A big thanks to all who came and hugs & kisses to all of the crew!We have some bad news though. Although you've probably already read about this somewhere else we feel that we need to put this out in our own words as well. Beardfish (and Pain of Salvation) have been forced to back out of the Progressive Nation 2009 tour. We're all so devastated about this that we can't even begin to tell you, but the reasons for this were all way beyond our control. Basically we lost our tour support in the midst of SPV (InsideOut's distributor) filing for bankrupcy... Because of this there was NO possible way for us to pay for the tour. We have been replaced by Big Elf and Scale the Summit and we wish these guys + Zappa Plays Zappa and Dream Theater all the luck in the world on the tour! Naturally, with the added regret of us not being there ofcourse - goddamnit!Your very jetlagged Rikard Sjöblom (on behalf of Beardfish) Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:34:41 +0100
