No Europe for Noname

Europe is coming together, but outwardly it seems that people prefer to isolate themselves. The Chinese Noname have certainly had to feel this now. As they write in their MySpace Blog, they had been dealing with bureaucratic hurdles for weeks to obtain a visa for their tour. However, just before the start of their journey, the German embassy in Beijing denied them the visas. The band does not yet know the reason for this. Of course, the musicians are upset that the tour with the Hellratz will now be canceled.

The Hellratz would like to play the dates alone; perhaps a replacement can be found quickly. There isn't much time left, as it all kicks off in Amsterdam on Friday:
