fo reals, yo?
fuck, that sucks. was hoping to catch them finally.
Well I’m hoping since the detroit date is later in the tour i’ll still get to see them:
from justin’s blog:
"We are sorry to report that Jesu are still stuck in England and will NOT be playing the Spaceland, L.A headline/release party ; work permits for Jesu have still not been cleared by U.S officials/customs and the band are not allowed into the U.S until the permits are officially cleared. The band are yet to receive a date of clearance and simply have to wait until they do so before entering the U.S, hence Jesu will not be appearing at any shows with ISIS until the permits are available and Jesu can leave England.
Please watch this space for further news ; once Jesu have their permits we will post confirmation of this and the first show that Jesu will play in the U.S.
Hopefully the band will not miss more than the first week of this tour, being the bands first tour of the U.S.
In related Jesu live line up news, Jesu bass player Diarmuid Dalton will not be playing any of the U.S dates due to being refused a work permit for the U.S for this tour.
Diarmuid has been replaced for this tour by long time collaborator (and fellow Birmingham, England native) bass player Dave Cochrane (Justin and Dave played together in Head Of David, Sweet Tooth, Ice, God and now their new project together GREY MACHINE).
Drummer Ted Parsons has also been unable to make this first Jesu U.S tour due to family commitments and has been replaced by drummer Danny Walker, a Los Angeles native who plays for many bands including Intronaut.
Thank you"
Oh that’s so stupid. I was getting totally excited to see them at Spaceland on Tueday, sigh. Oxbow was opening for them who are pretty amazing too, I’m hoping they’ll still be playing at least. The two of them together would have been an amazing show.
so if it works out, it’s more like Justin and friends?
I’m sure they can come up here to Canada. We let everyone in up here.

going to see them in nyc. i wasn’t gonna go till i found out jesu was gonna be there 
I don’t hate you, I think you fucking hilarious.
I’ll definitely give a word of mouth. I think I’m going to risk it and get tix tonight, Jesu be damned… I mean $15, that’s a cheap show imo, even for Isis…
Well due to some unforeseen bullshit this week, I won’t be making it…unfortunately.
However, don’t let it sway anyone else from posting a setlist and any info. I would still love to hear about it.
i’m planning on hitting up the chicago date on the 22nd. will post impressions and such.
mad excitment, jesu is one of my new favorites.
Well, I am moving to the UK on the 14th so I’m going to miss their US tour but when they come back across the pond I will check out a good Jesu shjow and let ya’ll know what’s up.
Peace!

checked out some isis tracks since i’m seeing them headline this show, and i’m pretty impressed. will be picking up some discs by them in the near future.
on a side note, i have been lucky lately to discover quite a few “new-to-me” bands out there, and they all seem to be on the similar artists section of each other on AMG. nice.
“Friends Are Evil” is awesome! And I love “old Year”… fuck I wish I saw this…
same set in Montreal last night. Sound was pretty good, and the crowd was very receptive. I would love for them to come back and headline.
new 30 minute video interview with justin. haven’t had the chance to watch yet myself:

That brainwashed link has video from the Boston show. I was there and it was righteous. Silver, Conqueror and Transfigure sounded HUGE. Here’s hoping the headlining tour happens…
from his blog last week:
“A Jesu headline tour of the U.S over the next 9 - 12 months will hopefully compensate somewhat, especially since Jesu now have permits/visas for 12 months !”
so it looks like we’ll get those headline gigs. I hope he hits detroit though cause i just called the venue here for the Isis gig to make sure tix would be available at the door and it sounds like they are selling terribly for this show. i really hope that doesn’t stop him from coming back to detroit.
Actually I’m here now. I just moved into Doncaster… It’s kind of close to a few bigger towns… I’m kind of dead smakc in the middle of Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham depending on which direction you go. Am looking forward to Jesu heading back over this way so I can check them out. Sounds like a great setlist so far.
Peace!
