Forward Russia Cancel Tour Dates

Forward Russia have been forced to cancel a few shows on their current US tour, because frontman Tom Woodhouse has a throat infection.

The band cancelled last night's set in San Francisco at Cafe du Nord and hav also pulled out of tonight's gig at Fontanas in New York.

Speaking on their MySpace page, Forward Russia have said: "He struggled with his voice in LA, and we're concerned about Tom causing longer term damage to his voice, and so that is why we have made the decision to not play these gigs."

"We have a non-stop tour schedule, and so we just felt that it is better to give Tom recovery time now instead of cause him to loose his voice for ever and ever."

"We're really sorry, especially to everyone in San Fransisco. To Everyone in New York, we will 90% definitely playing the other CMJ shows we are scheduled to at Mercury Lounge on 2nd, and the other show at Fontana's on the 3rd."
