Lily Allen Scraps U.S. Dates Due to Visa Issues
Another victim has fallen to the swift hand of U.S. customs: Lily Allen. As previously reported, the Brit pop-tart was detained at the Los Angeles International Airport Aug. 5 and stripped of her visa, possibly due her alleged assault of a photographer in London this past spring. But following the news, a spokesperson confirmed all U.S. dates would continue as planned. But now, as confirmed by a spokesperson, Allen will join the leagues of scores of other visa issue-suffering artists and be forced to postpone six U.S. gigs, as well as an appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Minus the Bear Map Outing
In support of the Aug. 21 release of Planet of Ice (listen!), the Seattle-based band’s studio follow up to 2005’s Menos el Oso and 2007’s remix effort Interpretaciones Del Oso, Minus the Bear have slated an extensive North American tour, set to kick of Chicago’s Download festival Sept. 2. From there, the quintet will perform for the hometown crowd at Seattle’s Endfest before trekking east, stopping through Spokane, Detroit, and Cleveland. Next, Minus the Bear will appear throughout the Eastern Seaboard, including gigs in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, among others, and then descend the coast. The band’s tour, working in a diverse set of co-headliners and openers such as Tiny Vipers, Ela, Helio Sequence, and Grand Archives, will then stroll through Texas and Middle America and finally ascend the West Coast from Los Angeles to Seattle.
