Tomorrow night's show in Oakland, CA has been postponed until November 19th. Tickets for tomorrow's performance will be honored. No other dates will be rescheduled at this time, however, it appears that Jerome will not be returning to the lineup, at least for the time being. Information on a replacement will be forthcoming soon.

[6:46 a.m.]

Jerome is back in the hospital after performing last night in Sacramento, CA. No other information is available at this time as to his condition or how this will affect upcoming shows. I will keep everyone updated. Best wishes to Jerome for a speedy recovery.

A review of the Seattle show has been added to the Reviews page.

Two reviews have been added to the Reviews page, one of NIN's recent performance in Brisbane (thanks to missmacbeth for a great write up!) and my own run down of the first two shows of the U.S. tour in Phoenix and Fresno.

Also, the new location for the Voodoo Festival is expected to be announced tomorrow. I probably won't have internet access tomorrow until later in the day, so keep an eye on Voodoo's official website for the new information.

Trent has left a new message on NIN's official site, stating that Jerome is okay, indicating that the show in Phoenix will go on as scheduled. Very good news on all fronts!


[4:34 a.m.]

Tonight's Nine Inch Nails show in Tucson, AZ has been canceled. No further information is available as yet as to a makeup date, ticket refunds, etc. You can read a message posted by Trent on nin.com here. Get well wishes for Jerome can be posted on his message board at jeromedillon.net.

Tonight's show in San Diego had to be cancelled about halfway into the set due to drummer Jerome Dillon's suffering from "shortness of breath and severe chest pains". Jerome has been rushed to a local hospital where he is being diagnosed. Please send your good thoughts and prayers his way tonight. As of now, the band has rescheduled this show for November 20th and you should hold on to your ticket stubs. I have no further details yet as to tomorrow's show in Tucson or any other shows scheduled for the near future. I will post more info as it comes in.

In a very lengthy, live in-studio interview with San Diego's 94.9 tonight, Trent confirmed what I'd mentioned here last month, that Nine Inch Nails will, in fact, be playing more markets in the U.S. in January, followed by a return trip overseas (Europe and Australia mentioned specifically). He also stated that the band may do a "shed" (i.e., outdoor ampitheatre) tour next summer. I assume this would be in the U.S., but he didn't confirm where this tour would take place. More info on all of this will be posted as it comes in.

According to a bulk email sent out by myspace.com to its members, Nine Inch Nails' myspace profile is set to feature exclusive live footage of the upcoming U.S. tour starting on September 16th. This footage will be updated nightly. NIN's profile can be accessed here.

Further clarifying the status of the Voodoo Music Festival, the organizers have confirmed to Billboard magazine that they are in the process of finding a new city to host the festival on the originally scheduled dates of October 29-30, and that the event will be used to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Katrina. In a telephone interview with San Diego radio station 91X this morning, Trent himself spoke of the festival's efforts to relocate, pretty much confirming that Nine Inch Nails will still be a part of the lineup. For those who are holding tickets to this event, original tickets will be honored at the new location. Refunds are available by phone or at points of purchase.

I wanted to pass along an update that the Voodoo Music Festival organizers have issued on their message board regarding the status of the two day event, which Nine Inch Nails was scheduled to headline on October 29th:

"To all of you with questions and concerns about the status of this year's festival, please know we are working to move forward with alternative plans now that it's obvious that our hometown will not be available this year.

Our goal is for Voodoo to join the relief and rebuilding efforts by becoming a fundraiser, and providing aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. We appreciate all your kind words, thoughts, and especially your patience during this transitional time. We will update you with our plans as they develop."

This is all the information that is available at this time.

Rolling Stone's Greg Prato has posted a review of Goon Moon's EP over at allmusic.com, which has been added to the Press page and can be read by clicking here.

Speaking of Rolling Stone, they recently checked in with Josh Homme regarding QOTSA's plans for the upcoming months, including the trek with NIN which begins in San Diego on September 16th. Josh also stated during this brief interview that he will begin work on Desert Sessions 11/12 later this year. It is not yet known whether Jeordie will appear on this installment but, given the fact that NIN will more than likely take a little break after they return from South America in late November/early December, here's hoping that he will have some time to once again lend his talents to the project. As always, I will keep you all posted.
