Mon Jan 04 - Tucson, AZ - Rialto Theater
Tue Jan 05 - Phoenix, AZ - Marquee Theater
Thu Jan 07 - San Diego, CA - House of Blues

Two of the band’s planned Fall appearances will NOT be rescheduled, however – September 26 in Santa Barbara and October 4 at The Austin City Limits Festival. Refunds for the Santa Barbara performance will be available at the point of purchase

Lee fractured his wrist while playing tennis, no minor injury for a guitarist, writer, and visual artist. Please join us in wishing him a quick and thorough recovery.

Sucks.
Get better soon Lee.

Haha, no, not really.

But seriously...get better soon Lee!

Wow. Heal up fast and get back to touring. Good luck!

Well...if you fell over...

Still, get well soon, Lee....

Wasn't trying to be a jerk of course. Less tennis, more rawk! Get well soon, Lee!

Less Roddick, more rock.

Maybe Lee needs to consume more calcium.

It's More Than a Broken Wrist

 

Oh dear, Moshe. That's the first pic when you google "It's more than a broken wrist."

I got this news at the beginning of the month, and there was nothing said
about canceling the November shows, just the Sept. ones. Things may
change, but I hope not.

Hope Lee is OK! Balls tho. Another like 4 months until I get to see my 16,17 & 18th SY shows? :rolleyes:

At least I will have Jenn with me. :) Oh the havoc we will reak!

Thu Jan 07 - San Diego, CA - House of Blues
Fri Jan 08 - Pomona, CA - Fox Theater*
Sat Jan 09 - Los Angeles, CA - The Wiltern
