Neon Indian: show cancelled due to the riots

Obviously, minds are on more important, more urgent matters and this is a tiny facet of the effect of what is going on. Was looking forward to this tonight, and was going to review it. But it - like no doubt other shows and events of all types around the country – has been cancelled. The label’s statement: “We are really sorry to say that due to the insane and unique events this evening we’re pulling the Neon Indian show. Really sorry. Stay in and stay safe.” See here for Joe’s eloquence. Check before you go anywhere tonight. And stay safe.

Comments

There is, of course, another school of thought which says the show must go on because of, not in spite of, this: viz this weekend, with the parallel universes of the huge numbers at the Albert Hall vs the ones out on the streets. Sends out a better message. But I appreciate that logistics for bigger events may intervene.
