#cancellation
Nico and Chase are marketing gold!
To all our awesome fans out there,
Once again thank you so much for your understanding these last few days. We know how frustrating it was for you that some of our shows got canceled. And how you spent hard earned money on the tickets, cleared your schedules and took the time to travel to the venue - for some of you hours, and we sincerely apologize and value your dedication. It was the last thing we ever wanted.
We’ve been touring for over two years now and this had never happened before so it was a tough pill to swallow. Getting sick sucks. Especially when it entails getting laryngitis and completely losing the ability to sing. But you guys rallied around me the last few days and I’m feeling better now and will be able to sing again tonight. Thanks for the well wishes I sure needed em!
Having these last fews days to take a step back just makes me realize how awesome the ride has been, and how none of this would be happening if it weren’t for our fans and supporters out there like yourselves- the ones who keep coming back to see us every time, or the ones who decide to be adventurous and drive five hours with their friends to come to a show. You guys really are the best fans on the planet, and we’re eternally grateful for all your dedication. So thank you once again for understanding and being patient through these frustrating last few days. So…..
CHICAGO we’re back
It’s with great regret that we have to cancel tonight’s show at Notre Dame, and tomorrow in Minneapolis. Christian is sick with the flu and laryngitis, and we are all doing everything in our power to get back up to speed. Unfortunately, he won’t be better by tonight or tomorrow night. We know all of you have been waiting a long time for these shows– you’re not alone. We too are as excited for every single show we play, and are equally disappointed when we have to cancel one.
Thank you for understanding, and please contact the venue for ticket information.
We will give more updates as soon as we have them, and we hope not to have to cancel any more shows.
If you’re in Notre Dame tonight, PAPA will still be playing– they’re an amazing band, and definitely worth checking out!

Gods are made of belief. Humans believe. Humans, small and weak as they are individually, must therefore be said to make gods. Gods can do epic, amazing things that humans could never accomplish, but which humans are capable of dreaming of, for a human couldn’t imagine it, a god couldn’t do it. That is the one true limitation of the divine: it is bounded by the limits of human imagination. But here is the secret: human imagination has no limits, and thus the only limitation of the divine is no limitation at all.
Humans believe. Humans secrete story, making pearls out of every scrap of sand that works its way into their psyches, and they spread those stories around, making a cultural moment out of believing the same pretty lies. Stories are incubators for gods, warm, safe places where belief can take root and grow. More than a few gods have begun from such seeds. The others do not shame them for such beginnings, for they are not chosen, but granted.
As time has passed, the shapes of those stories have changed, and the methods by which they may be shared have changed along with them. No longer is it single storytellers around fires at night: it is entire productions, attractive people in shining costumes, industries built on dreams.
But a dream is a fragile scaffold unless it attracts belief to itself with speed. Far too many dreams, built too high too fast, find themselves collapsing under the weight of their own industry. That’s where Fox comes in.
Fox is where dreams go to die. Fox lures them in with pretty words and shiny trinkets, promises them a pantheon, and then, when they fail to bring the believers in quickly enough, or when those believers belong to the wrong demographic, they pull the scaffolding away and leave the dream to collapse.
What Fox cancels does not return. What Fox jars does not rise again.
And yet dreamers keep following their light, believing that this time, it will be different. And it is, just often enough to make their beliefs understandable: sometimes, Fox takes mercy.
Not often, though.
In Fox’s den, dreams die.

A recent Press release omitted Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series from its returning show roster, leading to speculation the shows had been cancelled. Now, we have official confirmation that both shows will not return after their current seasons.
It really sucks to be in this fandom..
