Say Anything explain recent tour cancellation, talk about upcoming reissue, plans

Say Anything recently relaunched their website and with the relaunch came a new message from band mastermind, Max Bemis.

The band recently dropped off their scheduled tour with Saves the Day. This was their second major tour cancellation this year, with the band also cancelling a run with Circa Survive and Emanuel.

Bemis explained the situation saying:

Suffice to say they were canceled for good reason; you probably understand that having to drop off our first headlining tour, subsequently a tour with my favorite band ever (STD) and in general disappointing you guys in something I don't feel great about. However these obstacles were merely a price paid to reach certain realizations about me having to be medicated all the time.

The thing about being medicated or psycho-analyzed is that it's a matter of opinion: some people believe medication causes more harm than good while other choose to seek help. However, with someone who has my disorder, you can start hallucinating and missing sleep and pretty much will throw yourself into life-threatening situations without it.

He also explained some of what can be expected from the upcoming reissue of Is a Real Boy on Sony imprint J Records as well as the corresponding tour in 2006.

The newer disc, though containing songs a few of you already heard, is drastically mixed and mastered and sounds kick ass'.they sound like totally new songs, at least to me, and 'Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too' is almost totally redone. Soon we'll be rounding the weirdo brigade for our first headlining tour and boy are we excited. We're gonna taper down the ticket prices and it's gonna be a show, not just us playing music for you'.prepare to be entertained and dance and scream your asses off.

The new edition of Is a Real Boy is due out January 17th, 2006.
