Joey Cape from Lagwagon has reported that the band will not be able to make their planned free Toronto show with Strung Out. It looks like border issues were the cause of the cancellation, with the band unable to enter Canada, Joey joked:

What’s the deal with Canada and tall people? For some reason every time we try to play a show there, they say Chris Flippin can’t go because he’s too large. Take it from me, I am very small and far angrier than Flippin on his worst day. Maybe Chris Flippin has Marfan Syndrome or a wacky pituitary gland. Perhaps whatever it is that made him a freak of nature is not his fault. Regardless, I think it is a shame Canada takes issue with such a thing as abnormal height. It just doesn’t seem fair. Sure, he’s a giant and a felon but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a extremely nice guy.

In all honesty, Lag Wagon apologize to anyone in Toronto or its surrounding areas who had planned on coming to see us Saturday night. We are really bummed. I promise we will be there by sometime next summer to make up for it.

The show will go on without them.
