Glad that I saw this, I was just about to buy tickets.  If this is true, shouldn't Ticketmaster stop selling tix to this show?

[DeathFromAbove1979]

God dammit. Guess I'll hold off on buying tickets.

[RustyOrgan]

I hope they reschedule - was really looking forward to seeing them and already have my tickets. That Black Cat show was great! Everyone pick up the US LP release today!!

Check their myspace-it has new dates up there.  But I'd still wait a couple days for official word from the venues/promoters, as I haven't gotten 100% confirmation within our offices here in Atlanta (I'm now in ATL and work at Vinyl and a couple other places.  I do miss my DC/9:30 family).  
 
 It probably just means that the rerouting of the tour happened throughout the day, got confirmed late in the day and I'll get the update tomorrow a.m.

What visa issues? Weren't they able to make it here last time? Do they have to reapply EVERY MONTH??

Although there's no longer a D.C. date (at least according to the Pipettes' MySpace), there is a Baltimore date:
 
 Nov 11 2007 8:00P Sonar - Club Stage  Baltimore
