Jay Reatard Cancels S.F. Date & Tour After Whole Band Quits
 |
Jay Reatard canceled his upcoming tour--including his stop at Great American on Monday, Oct. 19, with Nobunny, Hunx & His Punx, Box Elders, and Digital Leather) after his band up and left him last week.
In the words--or, as it were, Tweets-- of the band leader, "Band quit ! Fuck them! They are boring rich kids who= can't play for ahit anyways .. Say hello to your ugly and boring wifes opps I mean...".
Reatard, a San Francisco favorite whose last local show packed the kids into Amoeba for a free in-store, had to yank his mid-October dates after losing his 'mates, although his MySpace still shows dates for an end of the month European tour. Seems the guy isn't too worried about filling his ex-buddies' shoes. The same day Reatard announced the desertion (Oct. 6) he also Twittered: "So who wants to see just how terrible it is to play in my band. I mean its so so hard I promise its the worst :) Jayreatard@gmail.com."
Now's your chance kids, so long as you're able to play a lightning-speed set, of course.
