BUS COMPANY WRECKS FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY TOUR

Front Line Assembly's US tour had been going rather well until earlier this week, when without warning, the band announced that the whole thing was being called.

One of the main reasons appears to have been some dubious behaviour on the part of their tour bus company:

The FLA drummer Adrian confirmed the news in a post on the Side-Line forum saying: "Digger international who handled the bus rental has fucked us. We were lied to since we were told we had a bus until july 6th. which was bullshit. They had planned to leave us in Philly without a bus to do the rest of the tour. They, the driver and tour manager filled us in on the scam last night just before our Philly show leaving us with a couple hours to find transportation for 11 people and all of our equipment..."

There may have been other problems, too:

Also Stromkern who supported FLA reported in a similar way about the event adding: "Indeed it's over... the shortcomings of the bus company was just the tip of the iceberg. The root of the problem originated from the booking agency. I'm not going to mention any names here but the booking agency out of Chicago pocketed the deposits and has vanished off the face of the earth."

Should someone be sending Nicky Campbell in to investigate this?
