What does the sad trombone sound like from a German industrial band?
The highly anticipated stateside return of Einstürzende Neubauten, scheduled for two different shows Dec. 8 and 9 in Chicago, will not happen. The band's U.S. tour, celebrating the pioneering noise outfit's 30th anniversary, has been canceled due to scheduling complications in our country's now notoriously rigorous visa process.
The shows will not be rescheduled. Get your refunds at the Vic Theatre or Metro box offices.
That particular sad sound would resemble the noise of someone stomping on the trombone and bashing it with a hammer. Perhaps with a bit of reverb and lots of multi-tap stereo delay. Bummer!
