Oui bonne question Monsieur le français.

Oui bonne question Monsieur le français.

C'est vrai que c'est une excellente question.

i'm pretty sure "back in the studio" would be considered in their control when it comes to canceling tour dates.

they don't cancel unless they have to.
like...they can't get there. they're headlining band cancels, or ryan has laryngitis.


...i know elias had surgery on his wrist.
...i just can't remember when.
could that have possibly had an effect?

okay, thanks for the info Loeak, you re very impressive, you know some information

Now, i want info from the supreme commander lol

when i saw this thread, misread it 2009, and that it was in the ask JK section i figured it was going to someone asking

are you guys coming to Europe this year?

Oh, no, i hate the same topic, with same question, it's easy to search the infos on the board, but new members hate search ...

No because Julien-K canceled not only in the winter but in the summer also for 2008 in Europe. They were scheduled to play the Spanish festival LP played at - they were even on the official website for the festival - but for unknown reasons they had to cancel it all.

here's the truth - simplified (some of this is a bit to personal to share in to much detail). if you guys are really savvy and decide to dig deeper, you will be able to fill in the blanks as this story starts to pick up traction in the mainstream press.

our company (L7) was having some major legal issues preventing us from being able to move forward in any substantial way. it wasn't anything that we (the band) did. it was a once in a lifetime nightmare that we inadvertently got caught up in - and we had no easy way out.

in addition to that, and connected to it - one of our closest friends and partners were in crisis. we just couldn't leave in the middle of it.

on the personal side - we needed to be there for our friend, on the business side, we were legally frozen.

no passport issues, and we would never book a tour and just cancel it to go record. we lost A LOT of money by canceling that tour, and a huge opportunity. it was not taken lightly.

hope this helps shed some light on why we were unable to do ANYTHING for so long. we have been in a 3 year long battle.

Thanks Ryan for the answer. We all wanted to see you in Europe and I hope you'll be able to do it in 2009.

Wow, thank you very much for clearing that up, Ryan, and for being so honest with us fans. I really appreciate that and I can at least in some way imagine how hard those times were for you guys... uff... Well, we European fans will of course wait for you, and in the meantime we make sure to spread the word in the best possible way so that you will be able to play in front of huge and enthusiastic crowds when you can finally come over

[miss_shit]

Thanks for pointing things out,Ryan, I'm sure all of us can comprehend. Unfortunately, things are sometimes not as easy as we wish they'd be. Us,the european fans, just like Lisa said, will wait patiently and when you finally come over you'll be welcome by an amazing fan base that keeps growing and growing.

i've been around these guys (the board not personally) since before julien-k had a myspace. In fact Julien-K was one of my first...5 friends i believe.

I remember someone important on Level 7 was implicated in drugs problems. So that might be the legal part lol.

A link was posted like 1 year ago about that thing.
