NIGHTWISH: Houston Show Cancelled - Sep. 16, 2008

Finnish/Swedish symphonic metallers NIGHTWISH have been forced to cancel their previously announced September 19 concert at The Meridian in Houston, Texas "because of the damages caused by hurricane Ike," according to a posting on the group's web site.

NIGHTWISH released a digital-only collection of demos and B-sides titled "The Sound of Nightwish Reborn", on September 2. This release, which clocks in at nearly 70 minutes of music, retains "must-have" status for all NIGHTWISH diehards, since it includes a bevy of exclusive material, such as demo versions of songs from the "Dark Passion Play" sessions that were recorded prior to singer Anette Olzon joining the band and that feature Marco Tapani Hietala handling the vocals, as well as B-sides.

	It was because the drummer forgot to bring his beautycase and refused to go on stage without make-up....

	Houston is under a midnight-6am curfew after Hurricane Ike. The Meridian has been open for the last few days, shutting down in time or people to get home w/o the fuzz harassing them... (i have power, so I really don't give a fuck about the rest of this town!)

	And I was getting excited for this show. It's funny though, I met Sonata Arctica up in Dallas last night after the Children of Bodom show. Didn't know all 3 bands were playing the same town the same night.
