Brick Bath Cancel Remaining Tour Dates, Unhappy with Label

BRICK BATH have posted the following message on their official website:

"Hey everybody we figured it was time to let you know what's going on...

Due to being stiffed by more than a few promoters and lack of support from our record label (not to mention the hurricanes and soaring gas prices), the band had no other options then to cancel the rest of our tour dates for the remainder of 2005.

We have been out on the road for three and a half months straight and covered a lot of territory in the US. Many of the shows were great and all our new friends and fans that came out to the shows all over the US were even greater. Thanks so much for your love and continued support.

It was our plan once the American Currency CD was released (which ended up having four different release dates) that BRICK BATH would stay out on the road consistently for at least a year or more. Going back to the same cities as well as new ones every couple of months to build our following. Believe us…we did everything we could not to have to come back home. That was the last thing we wanted to do!

As many of you know, two of the BRICK BATH band members parents passed away just days before the bands US tour started and we had to take care of our own personal situations just prior to leaving. Knowing we were going to be on tour for at least a year solid, we put all our personal belongings into storage and quit our jobs in order to do this full time.

Our label has done very little to promote this album or help us at all. Many promises were made and broken with little to no communication with the label for weeks on end. We had to buy our own CDs back from the label in order to have product to sell on the road. Our manager even had to buy our CDs at retail price in the stores just so he could have product to mail out to magazines and for other business dealings. We had no tour support and paid for the recording of the album out of our own pockets.

BRICK BATH has decided to go back to the drawing board and run the machine ourselves again for a while. We have all gotten day jobs again and will save our money in order to get out of debt from the last tour so we can go back out on the road again early next year and hope to see everyone again. We will not give up and we’ll never die. We will however start working on new material for the next CD over the holidays and start searching for a new label that is interested in having a hard working band on their roster.

As always, we will be happy to talk to all of you on our MySpace page as well as our BRICK BATH website forum.

See you all soon…"
