Jesus and Mary Chain Free Concert In Denton

All About UNT · March 10, 2012

So Jesus and Mary Chain got hassled about Visa issues in England and apparently has to back out of 35Denton. Sucks for the concert promoters but now Jesus and Mary Chain are throwing a free show on Weds March 14th on the Denton Fairgrounds (7pm). Where I was not going to make 35Denton I will be making this show.

Where are these guys from? I ask because you do not need VISAS to travel back and forth between England and the US if one is a US Citizen as a tourist, but I wonder if it's a WORK VISA problem of some sort? Like they said the entered as tourists and were stopped because they were actually working in England? Just wondering as there are rarely travel problems with US citizens flying between the US and England.

I wonder if they were actually "hassled" or were caught trying to "beat the system" or something? getting into a foreign country is rarely the problem...the problem is getting OUT without the proper documentation. Wonder what the problem was for these guys? Really too bad for the 35 festival in Denton this weekend. I understand these guys are pretty darn good.
