WM cancels Java Rockin'Land Performance

22 September 2010

Hello Folks,
Well I’m very sorry to hear of the negative light that has been shone upon our October trip to play in Jakarta. As far as I knew it was a festival! I had no idea of any sponsoring or affiliations with a large tobacco company. My brother’s wife is Indonesian and my two nephews are half-Indonesian so I was looking forward to heading over to Indonesia to check it out so to speak. Now I find myself being vilified as some morally decrepit individual using the tobacco industries money to line my pockets. So I have to make my voice heard in this situation.
With the severity of the issue of smoking in Indonesia, I completely understand that bands playing with promo girls handing out cigarettes isn’t going to help kids stop smoking in Indonesia.
So it is without hesitation I will now announce that we will be cancelling our headline show at Java Rockin’ Land on the 10th of October 2010. We are very regretful to miss this opportunity to play to our Indonesian fans, though hopefully in the not too distant future we can do more shows under different terms.
All the best,
Andrew Stockdale

Well di lain pihak sih makin respect dengan mereka. Rock tidak selalu identik dengan rokok, kawan :) Tapi.........tetap saja sedih :'|. Berkurang sedikit euphoria datang ke Java Rockin' Land HRRRRRRRRRR.
