A quick heads-up: it’s come to our attention that, per their website, The Damned have announced that they cancelled their impending U.S. tour due to visa troubles. It’s unfortunate because folks likely already bought tickets, and it’s unfortunate because we put their Friday show at Diesel on the Short List this week, and the announcement didn’t come down until the paper was already at the printer. So, Damned fans, don’t head for Diesel this Friday; it’ll only lead you to an encounter with clubbers, and you probably don’t want that.
