OCTOBER 11, 2006:


moe.
As we announced on Monday (see below), Al Schnier has taken the advice of several doctors and has temporarily stopped playing guitar due to severe tendonitis in his right hand. Although he continues to sing while on the road, the pain of his injury is ever-present, and after much discussion and thought, we have decided that Al needs to take a month off after the Baltimore, MD show to fully rest his hand and to pursue physical therapy if the doctors deem it necessary.

As a band and as friends, we were faced with the very tough decision of whether or not to continue the tour without him. It is with much regret that we make the announcement that we are canceling our North Carolina shows: the 10/26 Disco Rodeo show in Raleigh, and the 10/27 and 10/28 shows at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville. Tickets for these shows will be fully refunded at the point-of-purchase, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

We will continue to have a series of friends sitting in for the Buffalo, Albany, Sayreville and Baltimore shows, and Al will be singing at those shows. We are also offering refunds at point-of-purchase for those remaining shows for any fans who choose not to attend.

MOE. TOUR ALERT


Al by Robert Massie
Due to severe tendonitis in his right hand, Al Schnier will not be playing guitar at the Burlington (10/10), Buffalo (10/11 - 10/13), or Albany (10/14) shows. He will, however, still sing. We are in the process of adding some special guest musicians to sit in and play with moe. for those shows. We apologize for this unforeseen circumstance and will offer refunds at point-of-purchase before the performance for those who choose not to attend.

That's a really cool sentiment, but if anyone takes them up on it they should be taken out back and beaten with a rusty tire iron. I have faith that they can find a suitable stand-in.

Quite sure that Chuck can shoulder the weight. Just an opportunity to go down a road less traveled by the boys...speedy recovery, Al.

Al is a trooper. The tapes from Hampton Beach Casino don't show any sign of him being in pain, and he was playing as good as new. But, you could tell at some points he was having trouble rocking, like in the heavy rock part of Seat of my pants when he put his picking arm up. Anyways all the best to him. I'd love to see Adam Terrell play with them again, I haven't caught Adam with moe. since summer 03. get well soon al

Haven't been a big Moe fan in a few years. No real reason. I kind of went a different direction. Maybe it was no more than I got burned out from listening to them so much. I always liked the guys. I guess all this rambling was a preface to say that... what Moe is doing is pretty damn cool. A lot of bands would just cancel shows. Being in the Jam world, Moe knows their fans won't mind seeing a bit different show. They'll even be superexcited. Kudos and so forth. If nothing else, I may throw in L or one of the old dowloads. Or maybe download more recent stuff. In fact, Yes, that is what I'll do.

I'm glad Adam Terrell is playing instead of Al. Not only is Terrell a better guitar player, but AOD is a way beter band than Moe. Why is everyone so obsessed woth those guys?? They are boring.

kellerhead, I hope you are just flaming, because if you want to talk boring, lets talk Keller. He is talented no doubt, but having just one guy playing can get old and boring after three hours. moe. is the opposite of boring, they rock your face off.

Town Ballroom sucks, never saw so many employed assholes in my life...my buddy got kicked out 3 songs in to it. And moe. Didn't even seem to be IN to the show. Probley spaced themselves out too much. Good show though ("Mexico"sucks)... On the shittiest night in buffalo.
