Dears don't do Astoria show
agibbons by Anthony Gibbons May 5th, 2005
The Dears have cancelled their London Astoria show tonight (Thursday May 5th) due to 'personal reasons'.

According to BBC 6Music, the band claim one of their number is 'dealing with a personal issue which requires immediate attention'. No further detail is forthcoming so far and the show is rescheduled to take place on July 5th.

Last night's show in Cambridge at the Junction went ahead as planned. The Dears played a 50 minute set which was recorded for Steve Lamacq's 6 Music show. Support came from The Earlies and Miss Black America.
