This just in and hot off the press:
We apologize for any inconvenience, but the Valentine’s Day show at the Viper Room and any other US shows that may have been booked have been cancelled. Urge Overkill has parted ways with their manager, and are currently writing new material and preparing to record the much-awaited new record! Their previous manager, Beth Winer, will be handling their affairs until a new full-time manager is found. Rest assured, however, that the U.R.G.E. train is still rolling and there are plenty of great things to come! (full story)
Word on the street is that their New Year’s Eve show was less — quite a bit less — than sold-out so I wonder if that has anything to do with the band sacking their manager since he’s also their booking agent? As always, more details as thery emerge.
