CRUMBSUCKERS, THE ACCUSED: European Tour Cancelled

January 25, 2007

Legendary New York hardcore/metal act CRUMBSUCKERS has issued the following statement:

"The February 2007 European tour with CRUMBSUCKERS, THE ACCUSED and LYZANXIA has unfortunately been canceled. The decision to cancel the tour was not made by any of the bands or venues, but by the agency that booked the tour (Metallysee Agency). Here is a brief yet direct quote from Metallysee with regard to the tour cancellation:

"'I am afraid I have to tell you that Metallysee needs to cancel the tour with the CRUMBSUCKERS + THE ACCUSED + LYZANXIA. This is unfortunatly purely based on finances.'

"CRUMBSUCKERS would like the fans and venues to know that we do not endorse that decision, but unfortunately the situation appears to be beyond our control. We will take the high road in this matter while we take the necessary time to collect our thoughts, recoup our losses, etc... before we make any definitive plans for the future of the band.

"At this time, we would like to thank all of the European fans who planned on supporting CRUMBSUCKERS / THE ACCUSED / LYZANXIA in Europe! On behalf of all of the bands, we would like to say that we are sorry that we couldn't 'make it happen.'"

CRUMBSUCKERS reunited for a special show on August 3, 2006 at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City to mark the 20th anniversary of their classic "Life of Dreams" release. Original members Meskil, Chris Notaro (vocals),Chuck Lenihan (guitar; GENITORTURERS),and Dan Richardson (drums; LIFE OF AGONY, PRO-PAIN, STEREOMUD) were accompanied by PRO-PAIN's Tom Klimchuck during the concert, which featured support from SUBZERO, IRONBOUND NYC (featuring members of SICK OF IT ALL, KILLING TIME, MAXIMUM PENALTY, STRAIGHT AHEAD and NAUSEA) and CAR BOMB.

CRUMBSUCKERS released two full-length albums through the Combat label — 1986's "Life of Dreams" and 1988's "Beast On My Back" — before finally calling it a day in the early Nineties. Several members embarked on a melodic metal venture called HEAVY RAIN, but that band was short-lived. The rhythm section of Meskil and Richardson went on to PRO-PAIN, while Chuck Lenihan ended up with GENITORTURERS.
