SCENE NOT HEARD!

Bassist Damon Minchella can't shake off a niggling wrist problem...

OCEAN COLOUR SCENE have postponed their entire US tour due to a problem with bassist DAMON MINCHELLA's wrist.

The group were due to embark on a small tour of the US later this month, starting in Minneapolis on September 13.

However, according to a posting on the official Ocean Colour Scene website, www.oceancolourscene.com, the shows will now be postponed until late November, to allow his wrist time to heal.

The statement reads: "Unfortunately, we have had to postpone the forthcoming tour to the US. Damon has had a reoccurrence of tendonitis in his wrist (the reason for his support he wears on stage).

"The dates are to be rescheduled for late November early December, as soon as they are finalised, we will post them on the site. All tickets will be valid for the future corresponding dates."

The effected shows are at: Minneapolis 400 Bar (September 13)
Chicago Double Door (14)
Detroit Magic Stick (16)
Toronto Opera House (17)
Pittsburgh Rosebud (18)
Philadelphia North Star (20)

An Ocean Colour Scene 'Greatest Hits' album will be released before the end of the year.
