In case you didn't check out the HOME page or the NEWS or even the comment BOARD, I've got a bit of bad news for the fans: Scamper is pulling out of the Salem show scheduled for this Thursday. Thanks to the wacky and wild winds of Hurricane Katrina, Keith is stuck in the middle of Alabama and won't be back in time for the show. So we out.

The good news (if you like Keith and want him to live, that is) is that he and his family are safe and sound. But the lines of travel are cut off, so he's stuck down in that God-forsaken country for a few more extra days, trying to avoid locals who only want him for his pretty mouth.

We hate to cancel shows, but it was either that or go on without Keith. Last time we played as a trio, Mike and I did nothing but synchronized disco moves to John Mayer songs while Nate rubbed crimson clay all throughout his chest hair. We just get confused without Keith up there. He's our moral rudder.

So our apologies to all that were planning on making it to the show, but hey - now we all have Thursday off. What are we doing, bitches?
