NIGHTWISH: Houston Show Cancelled
17.09.2008
Finnish/Swedish symphonic metallers NIGHTWISH have been forced to cancel their previously announced September 19 concert at The Meridian in Houston, Texas "because of the damages caused by hurricane Ike," according to a posting on the group's web site.
NIGHTWISH released a digital-only collection of demos and B-sides titled "The Sound of Nightwish Reborn", on September 2. This release, which clocks in at nearly 70 minutes of music, retains "must-have" status for all NIGHTWISH diehards, since it includes a bevy of exclusive material, such as demo versions of songs from the "Dark Passion Play" sessions that were recorded prior to singer Anette Olzon joining the band and that feature Marco Tapani Hietala handling the vocals, as well as B-sides.

I hope they reschedule. That concert was one bright light in all this chaos.

Had never heard of Nightwish till about 3 months ago when I saw some videos on YouTube. They're one of my favorite bands now. Come on, Nightwish!! Play in Charleston, South Carolina!!
