Well that was quick! I just got word from Michael Todd @ 95x that Moz has cancelled the Odessa show. Announced and cancelled, all in less than 24 hours. I think that's a new Moz record!
The show listing has been removed from www.95x.net

not very surprised (Score:1)
unless moz hopped a plane first thing in the morning, the bus ride would have been over 6 hours which may have only just gotten him to Austin in time for his interview.
i say he should replace it with a San Antonio date.

posts two US dates:
"1 February 2006
March 15 OKLAHOMA CITY Bricktown Events Center, 1800 cap, $35 admission
March 16 TULSA Cain's Ballroom, 1600 cap, $35 admission"
And follows with a snide:
"Information printed elsewhere about a date in Odessa TX is incorrect."
Just which "elsewhere" are you referring to, dear?

Certainly don't bitch about a date that he's supposedly cancelled that was never announced on that site. Get up to speed people.

And before you say it's impossible that a person working for a professional company won't be 'up' on their clients, consider the person I dealt with at Penguin who didn't know who Will Self was, let alone if he could do a signing.
"You know? Famous author? You publish his books?"
"Oh
So, what may be likely with these cock ups in announcing shows is that someone pretty much ignorant of all things Morrissey phones up a few venues, believing that Moz is like every other puppeted artist and will just 'play where he's jolly well told'.
The venue goes 'Yes, we'll have him'.
The employee goes 'That's great, how's this date sound? We'll get back to you.'
The venue go away believing it's a done deal from the positive tone of the employee, not realising that they have to relay information right back to the very top
And Moz, when choosing his dates, rightly sees that he is not some record company tool and will not run himself into the ground for some pleb who thought he'd call a venue on the East Coast for one night, and see if he could book him in on the West Coast the next.
I'm not saying it's true of a small company like Sanctuary, but as we know from their emails about the ticket touts, the gigs aren't their business, they're the business of the promotion company and the ticket companies. Plenty of room there for them to cut back on staff with common sense.

I am happy for Austin and Suzanne especially as I know she has travelled far in the past only to have Moz cancel. A lot of us fans can relate to that- I had driven across the desert from L.A. at the last-minute for that cancelled Vega$ show in '99... Enjoy the show in your backyard, Suzanne
Cheers!
