Gotta say, as sad as this obviously is for everybody involved, I am really surprised that a band of Harem Scarem`s long standing were naive enough to think that they could get away with performing without working visas. This is something I have to deal with on a regular basis - indeed, we are bring GPS to Japan for a couple of shows in mid October - and although the band will earn little to nothing for these shows, working visas are very much the order of the day.
