April 10 Gig at Star City postponed to August 20th due to a couple of reasons:
"First reason: We are required to go back and
do a bit more work on our album and we have been given a mastering date of mid
April.
Second reason: We are putting such an enormous amount of work into this show (19
songs, 10 dancers, custom staging, plus a week of rehearsal) it is crazy to do
all this for just one show only. SO - we have decided to make the show the start
of a TOUR. So rather than waste all that effort on a single show - we get to
take it around the country (and dramatically reduce overheads)."
