MUNICIPAL WASTE Prevented From Boarding Flight To U.K.

August 23, 2006

According to an Earache Records press release, U.S. crossover thrashers MUNICIPAL WASTE were yesterday prevented from flying from their hometown in Richmond, Virginia to play a series of festival shows in the U.K. The band allegedly appeared at the check-in desk for their US Airways flight US3224, but were stopped from boarding, with the reason given being due to "heightened security measures."

Undeterred, and eager not to disappoint their U.K. fans at their upcoming Reading and Leeds festival shows, MUNICIPAL WASTE rescheduled their flight for today and are expected to arrive in the U.K. on Thursday, August 24 and head directly to their first show in Exeter.

The band will greet their British audience with extra intensity at what are sure to be raw and energy-fuelled performances at this weekend's Carling Festival, and will air songs from their 2005 Earache release "Hazardous Mutation". They are also due to meet fans at an in-store signing session at 5:00 p.m. at Exeter's Solo Records on August 24.

MUNICIPAL WASTE U.K. tour dates:

Aug. 24 - UK - Exeter - Cavern Club
Aug. 25 - UK - Reading - Carling Festival Lock Up Stage, 1:30pm
Aug. 26 - UK - Leeds - Carling Festival Lock Up Stage, 1:30pm
