Screaming Females Cancel Fall Tour
Screaming Females front woman Marissa Paternoster is one of the best guitar players releasing records right now, on-par with Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis and Built to Spill’s Doug Martsch. This is just one of many reasons that today’s news of the band’s canceling their fall tour dates is very sad news, indeed. The cancelations are due to Paternoster’s continuing to feel the effects of mononucleosis, an illness that caused the band to cancel a number of tour dates last summer, as well. The band has issued a statement to their fans concerning the recent cancelations, which reads:
“Since falling ill with mononucleosis in May, Marissa [Paternoster] has been experiencing severe chronic pains that have rendered it very difficult for Screaming Females to tour. To ensure that Marissa has adequate time to heal so that Screaming Females can continue, it brings us great sadness to announce that all scheduled dates after October 10th will be cancelled. Thank you for understanding and we will see you all in the very near future.”
Screaming Females were touring behind their latest record Ugly, perhaps the most arresting punk records of the year. Here’s hoping she gets well soon, and that these Screaming Females dates gets rescheduled soon.
