Death Grips to fans: FUCK YUH! Tour apparently canceled, new album to be released in the fall

Death Grips to fans: FUCK YUH! Tour apparently canceled, new album to be released in the fall

Not two weeks after announcing an extension to their spring/summer Money Store tour, Pitchfork brings us the news that Death Grips have done a 180 and cancelled their tour in its entirety. The band dropped the news on Facebook, bluntly stating, “we are dropping out to complete next album NO LOVE [reportedly to be released Fall 2012]. see you when it’s done. (there are no longer any scheduled shows).” The resulting comments are a mix of outrage and disgust. It seems as if the band, what with all their current critical adulation, wanted to stir some shit up to maintain their gruff relationship with the public. It has worked.

No word on refunds, but a quick check of the venue where they’re supposed to play in Chicago still shows tickets for sale. Hopefully this is just a really bad joke and the shows aren’t actually cancelled; otherwise, someone needs to give these 40-odd venues a heads up.
