j'ai su la raison pourkoi discharge a pas pu venir
It's been a while since we had some news, but here is a statement from the guys, regarding the Montreal show:
Discharge have pulled out of the Montreal Chaos show because Rainy was deported few years ago from the USA as the band was due to do a tour. He was jailed for two days and escorted handcuffed to the plane. The experience for him was pretty much a nightmare as anyone could imagine. Well aparently Rainy discovered that the Canadian and USA immigration use the same database, so as much as some people said risk it see if he gets in, we would not want to put him through the experience again (I mean for fuck sakes come on) and as no flights had been booked for any band by this time it was Aug 1st, we had doubts whether it would go on. The weekend of the 4th and 5th August discharge played Stockholm August Bulier Festival and was due to play the Anti Fest in Prague, but promoter pulled it last minute.
When we returned back on the Monday 6th August, Bones spoke to rest of Discharge and did not feel it right to go and play the Chaos Festival with only one original member in the line up (a bit of a rip off for those that wanted to see the band) and after all Rainy's bass sound is a big part of Discharge, so it has nothing to do with money, as obviously the wankers that have nothing better to do are spreading. We hope to get Rainy the correct papers so next year we can get him into the USA and Canada and get out there and tour, there endeth the lesson.
