There have been rumors going around over the last couple days that the tour is cancelled/postponed because they could not get visas. I didn't believe it, but today I woke up to find all the main music news sites confirming it. Brooklyn Vegan and Metal Insider say it is tied up in the gov. shutdown. Go ahead and take my food stamps, arrest the veterans, but do not deny me my Godflesh show. My a-political, nihilistic self is finally ready to riot.
There are mentions of a reschedule as precise as next "April" and vague and uncomforting as "early next year".
I don't think this will be of much purpose but her's is a compilation of links I have wail, moaned and gnashed my teeth over so far today:

JKB's official explanation can be read here on his facebook.
I had to stop there. It's too enraging. So enraging that I made a mildly amusing meme out of it.
Man, I've got this giant shit of aggression I've been holding in since I heard they were coming here and I don't know what to do about it. Anybody want to volunteer as a human punching-bag? Walls are no good. I need blood.
