Aereogramme won’t be denied on US tour plans
18 October 2001

Scottish downtempo noise trio Aereogramme were ready to launch their debut American tour later this month, opening for Arab Strap. But Arab Strap’s plans have fallen through. They haven’t announced why, but since 11 September many, many tours and concerts have been cancelled or postponed.
Arab Strap plan to return to the US in 2002, while Aerogramme are doing whatever they can to make it to North America this year. They recently wrote about their hopes, and talked about who they’ve got in the CD player these days.

“First of all we are all very dissapointed to hear that the Arab Strap tour was cancelled since we were so excited about coming over to play in America for the first time but I’m sure we will get over eventually and we are counting the days until it happens.

“Aereogramme just came back from their first British tour since the release of A Story in White. The travelling was made a lot easier by our tape collection consisting of Tool, Quicksand, PJ Harvey, System Of A Down, Slayer, Sparklehorse, Red House Painters, and a taping of our recorded John Peel session which will be broadcast later in the year. It has three brand new tracks plus a chaotic reworking of Shouting For Joey which appears on the new album.

“We have been listening to the usual eclectic nonsense but special mention has to be given to Tool - Lateralus; Neurosis - A Sun That Never Sets; Otis Redding - Best Of; Fugazi - The Argument; and Lift To Experience - The Texas, Jerusalem Crossroads.

“It’s all mainly guitar music, I know, but that’s what has been tickling our fancy lately. If anyone wishes to write to Aereogramme, your letters will be gratefully received and we will reply to everyone until we get huge and famous and our egos overtake ourselves. Thanks.”
