Looks like the Cruxshadows (with a slightly amended line-up) will be back in the UK in July... and the only gig announced so far is in Dorset [the only event Netgoth has listed for Dorset, oddly enough], with support bands I've never heard of ('Avoidance of Doubt' and 'Drugdealer Cheerleader').

Edit: And, as if by magic... Rob Lee posts on various mailing lists to say they'll be playing Birmingham on 29th July, too.

Er...

Now that Swarf are safely touring the USA, I guess it's not tempting fate to point out this tale: it seems that the Ah Cama-Sotz visit to America didn't go quite so well...

"Due to the department of homeland security and good old Belgian honesty, Ah Cama-Sotz and This Morn' Omina were stopped yesterday and again today (13 & 14 april) at the Canadian border, and despite our lawyer's council and the AMERICAN CONSOLATE'S ASSURANCE that artists that were playing a non compensated show did not require work visas, The border security agents took a different perspective. Unfortunately in these matters, the border agent's discretion is authoritative, no matter how many clauses and loopholes you throw at them, if you want to dispute their gut decision, you can have a hearing.. in 2 to 3 months."

Ouch. That's taken from here, btw.
