An arduous year of touring and promotion has drained the band and necessitated time off. Dan and Patrick wish to thank all of you who have shown such incredible support since the release of ‘Brothers’ and have helped make the album a success.” Urgh. How to blow some money flying to see them in Sydney, flying back the next day to go to the Big Day Out. Oh well, hope Dan and Pat are better for the rest. Hope they are OK http://theblackkeysfanlounge.com Posted 1 year ago #

It was always an ambitious itinerary but I think anytime you cancel an entire leg of a tour, let alone two, it's a reflection of mismanagement more than anything else. Better to cancel than risk sickness or poor shows but that's a pretty major cock-up, imo. The Keys have always been big stuff down under so it's a weighty decision to beg off entirely. This is not their first time round the block when it comes to world tours, so presumably it's the ancillary stuff from hitting it big that was "draining." That is of course unless there is a better, unpublicized reason for the cancellations.

I had a feeling this was coming. Not fair on the comments though calling them a bunch of c&nts is a bit much. And hell I'm used to being forgotten in Perth i just hope they do come back to play gigs here one day..... I'd love to hear nappy's thoughts on all of this....* http://www.facebook.com/rosskeegan http://soundcloud.com/keegan-ross-1 - Check me out Posted 1 year ago #

They obviously aren't true fans, they must be scensters or have only just heard of the band in order to have such a lack of loyalty. I would be absolutely gutted, but obviously those fans don't realise just how much touring the band does and has done since day one. they need to read the artciles from pat's ex about how tiring it is as someone going along with the band, nevermind having to be the band themselves. It sorta disgusts me that there are fans out there who can act like that. I thought TBKs fans would have a lot more respect or at least be cool about it.
