Oops, I meant beer. Might as well put this shit up here...

Paul (aka Blackcloud), John (Nuc), you guys interested in catching up for a few beers before the upcoming Voivod slaughter here in Seattle on July 6th?

Nothing quite makes a show rank awesome like a few beers and going on about good music with Paul and Tony. Putting that in front of a Voivod show... fuck yeah!

St. Mike - Any chance of you being on this side of the mountains for this show?

Hey Mike, great idea! Only one problem for me, I'm actually going to a friend's wedding earlier that day (who the hell has a wedding on a Friday afternoon!?) and the following reception, which almost pretty much cuts into even seeing some of the opening bands. I would love to just skip the whole thing but this is a girl I've worked with the past 4 years and she only sent out so many invitations, I feel kinda obligated lol.

I do however plan on hanging out a while after the show simply cuz of the fact that we know Dino from FF and my gf also knows Shaun Glass from Dirge Within (who happens to be a HUGE VV fan). She knows him from Chicago and being in the thrash band Sindrome.

Anyways, sorry to babble, I'll see what I can do!

All cool John! At the bare minimum, I hope to actually get a chance to say hello, haha! While your at way more shows than I, it seems we always miss you somehow.

Regardless... VOIVOD! Or as my ticket says, "VIOVOD".

I think the last show we were both at was Triptykon, but I was sorta "backstage" or side of the stage and by the time I made it out in the audience you had already left, but I saw Paul of course. We'll def get to hang this time around, looking forward to it Bro! VIO-VOD!! hahaha

It's gonna be cool to see the first show of the tour, maybe they'll be in town a little beforehand? I've already taken the 3rd off work to go to the Mayhem Fest with Motorhead, Slayer, Anthrax, and Slipknot (I guess haha). Luckily I already have a day off the next day!

This is what pops up when you click the official website now:

“It is with great disappointment that we have to make this announcement. With the recent departure of Voivod from the Shockwave Festival lineup. As well as low advance ticket sales we have decided to pull the plug on the Shockwave Festival." For purchases made with a credit card, your card will automatically be refunded. All other refunds are available at point of purchase. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

WHAT a crock of SHIT! It isn't Voivod's fault they had to cancel the tour, that's just wrong. And the whole advanced ticket sales is BS too. Somebody is trying to cover their own ass it sounds like...

The whole tour package, all those bands packed into tiny venues... seemed kind of suspect from the start. Good news is we'll get our money back. The statement is lame, but I think it's pretty obvious that the organizers of this tour are the ones to blame.

Seriously, looking forward to a Voivod headlining tour with a roster that allows for a proper setlist.

Based on what I saw on Facebook....Fear Factory may be doing something again starting in August. I can't imagine trying to pick up the pieces after this thing fell apart. What a huge blow to the bands!

I just found this bit of info about ticket-refunds purchased through etix.com which is the ticket agency I went through...

Q: I heard that the event for which I purchased has been cancelled. What should I do?
If an event is cancelled and not rescheduled, upon formal notification from the event promoter, we will email all online customers and refunds will automatically be applied to the credit card used by the customer at the time of purchase. In such instances refunds will generally appear on your next credit card statement depending upon your billing cycle. Refunds for cancelled performances include the ticket price and the per ticket convenience charge(s), but do not include per order handling charges (if any) or fees collected for a chosen delivery option.

All ticketed events are scheduled to be held regardless of weather conditions. Sometimes weather or other outside considerations make the performance impossible to complete. In such instances, the event venue or the event promoter are charged with making the final determination of cancellation and refund availability. eTix will automatically issue refunds ONLY if an event is cancelled in its entirety. Refunds for rescheduled shows will be provided only with the venue or promoter's consent

NEVER discard hard tickets until you have received a refund for a cancelled event.[b]Q: I heard that the event for which I purchased has been cancelled. What should I do?

True dat. And the sad thing is a lot of (if not all the bands) even know how big the venues are till they get there. Red flag from the start!

YES! yes yes yesssss. YES!!!!
