The long awaited secong coming to SofiaВ of one ofВ America's greatest swing bands will possibly not happen.

The show wasВ scheduled for 9 February at the Blue Box club, but CHERRY POPPIN's leader Steve Posted have posted on the official band MySpace profile the following message:

"Hey Everybody, I guess by now some of you have heard that I screwed my knee up and require surgery and consequently the Daddies February tour of Europe is going to be postponed. The band is very disappointed and I really feel like crap that it's my old ass that let everybody down. We are not sure today when we will actually make it to Europe, but hopefully summer or fall of 2010. I should be able to hobble around on American stages by March.

Putting this tour together has been a big, confusing job and I owe a debt of gratitude to Bucket, the legendary ska maestro of the Toasters, for serving as consiglieri to me as I pushed this boulder up the hill, only to have it roll back over me just as we neared the top. I feel like Zorba the Greek. I can't hold back an impulse to laugh my fool ass off after watching an edifice that took months to build, crumble before my eyes.... "A man loosens his belt and looks for trouble.... Boss you need a drink".....The band has been very understanding despite being extremely blindsided and inconvenienced. I appreciate you very much.

On the positive side we have a new booking agent in the US, Dan Peraino of Concerted Efforts as well as solid competent management, Tom Derr at Rock Ridge. We aim to take advantage of this time to add new material and make some strides toward making new recordings. Once again we hope to see you soon and are just very sorry that it won't be next month. Steve"

Martin Mihaylov of Stroeja who are promoting the Bulgarian date told Tangra Mega Rock this morning that he still hasn't received any official cancellation of the event but will let us know immediatelly after he gets any information regarding the show beingВ cancelled or simply postponed.

Stay tuned for details!
