Cramped style
The fur flies and The Cramps tour is postponed — that is the bad news for those interested in going to see the Los Angeles band in Auckland at the end of this month. The band’s new bass player, Fur, was diagnosed in London last week as having suffered a nervous breakdown, and it means that The Cramps tour of Australia and New Zealand has had to be postponed. However, the band has been re-booked at the Galaxy, Auckland, on August 29 and August 30. Fur’s illness has meant
that instead of flying to Perth to start the new leg of their tour, having just finished a tour of Europe, the band instead head home to Hollywood and search for another bass player. Looney Tours, which has been handling the New Zealand shows, has advised those that have bought tickets for the concerts on June 27 and June 28 in Auckland, that these are valid for the August gigs. Those seeking a refund can contact the Corner Booking Office, P.O. Box 7160, Auckland.
