Otep: Another sick band skips show

Submitted by Michael Deeds on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 4:29pm.

05/19 UPDATE: This show has been rescheduled for Wednesday, July 30. All previously purchased tickets will be honored at the door.

Metal frontwoman and, um, "poet" Otep Shamaya — who has taken to spelling her band's logo as "OT3P" — has axed the group's gig Sunday at The Big Easy. This includes the opening bands. There will be no concert, period.

Vanna, please spin the wheel for Big Easy band excuses: "Transportation issues" ... "Due to illness" ... "Bus hits herd of elk" ... and ... and .. and it's "Due to illness!"

The concert will reschedule shortly, according to the promoter.
