Sound of Contact Postpones North American tour

August 1, 2013 by NJProghouse

from the Sound of Contact Website: http://www.soundofcontact.com/tour-dates/

Dear friends and fans of Sound of Contact!

Due to delays and complications from the US embassy in the UK, Simon Collins and key SOC personnel were unable to obtain work visas in time to perform with Sound of Contact in the upcoming YEStival in Camden, New Jersey this Saturday. We also deeply regret to inform everyone that as of today, we must postpone our North American tour this August / September until Spring next year.

Logistical issues derived from VISA complications and low ticket sales in a few locations have impacted on our ability to effectively honor all dates at this time.

We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and potential inconvenience that this may cause.

Please know that we have every intention of re-grouping and re-scheduling as many of the dates as possible. We look forward to seeing you all next year!

Simon, Dave and Matt

 

People who have purchased tickets for the NJProghouse show for September 9th will automatically be issued a refund within the next 48 hours.

Dave Kerzner has worked with some of the biggest artists in rock from Keith Emerson to Alan Parsons to members of Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes and more. As a keyboardist he has been part of Kevin Gilbert’s bands Thud and Giraffe and has contributed to albums such as Steven Wilson’s Grace For Drowning and Steve Hackett’s Genesis Revisited 2. Matt Dorsey comes from Simon Collins’ solo band and has played with Sonic Reality and Beth Hart.

The album features musicians such as Porcupine Tree’s Gavin Harrison and Colin Edwin, Dug Pinnick from King’s X and John Giblin from Brand X. Ronen Gordon will be joining the band on additional drums. All together, Sound of Contact are rapidly becoming one of today’s hottest new live acts.

Edison’s Children
After 30 years of playing in some of the greatest bands in the world…
Edison’s Children is a chance for Pete Trewavas to take a more intimate approach and explore many other areas of his creativity. In the forthcoming album “In The Last Waking Moments…”, Pete will be joining up with one of his very good friends and long time friend of the band Marillion, Eric Blackwood to write and do some things he’s never done before… like sing lead vocals on a track or two… see Pete play lead guitar!… full out keyboards and maybe even… drums? (oh yeah and the occasion bass).

After releasing part one of The Audio Guide, which received critical acclaim and was deemed by many one of the top albums of the year, JOLLY toured the US and Europe. Again, the airplane food was salty and the flight was long, but the band watched reruns of Friends to pass the time. Shortly after returning from tour, Mike Portnoy asked JOLLY to open for his band Flying Colors at Best Buy Theater in Times Square. He even said: “I am a big fan of the last two Jolly albums and handpicked them to open the Flying Colors show in NYC.”
