The Canadian release of Protest The Hero‘s new live CD/DVD outing “Gallop Meets The Earth” has been pushed back as a result of manufacturing defect. The effort will now see a September 29th release date in Canadian stores. Band guitarist Tim Millar had the following to say about the situation:
After collectively recreating the “Footloose” dance to subside our anger, Gallop meets the Earth hasn’t met the deadline. With countless hours of editing, tirelessly watching our cheesy and unacceptable stage moves, making sure all the bonus footage wasn’t too inappropriate and embarrassing, and Luke himself running to Fed Ex to mail out the final copy of our upcoming DVD release, I regretfully am here to inform you that there was a manufacturing defect not once, but twice in the process of mass producing this DVD.
That being said, the release in the States is unaffected by this, but in Canada the new release date is September 29th, 2009. Please understand that we did everything on our end to get this DVD done and out on time and this was entirely out of our control. I’m sure it’s already on your favorite torrent site as we speak so I guess no one’s missing out. So please join us with the rage subsiding Footloose dance, or at least watch that episode of Flight of The Conchords. Maybe we just built up too much bad Karma in the last 5 years.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s coming.
