Frenzal Rhomb Band Member To Undergo Emergency Surgery; Shows Postponed

Sydney veterans Frenzal Rhomb have been forced to postpone shows this weekend as guitarist Lindsay McDougall is set to undergo emergency eye surgery today.

Though he took part in the band's performance in Miranda last night, McDougall has been advised to attend surgery immediately to avoid permanent damage to his sight. 

The news means the band's shows scheduled for tonight in Ulladulla, tomorrow in Windsor and on Sunday in Katoomba have been called off. 

New dates will be announced as soon as possible and tickets already purchased will be honoured at the rescheduled shows. 

Meanwhile the punk outfit took to Facebook last night to confirm McDougall's surgery while also addressing the news that Soundwave has folded and that next year's event (which they were scheduled to perform at) has also been axed.   

The tongue-in-cheek post read, "How were we to know that being privately chauffeured to the shows, individually, on the back of Jimmy Barnes' children wearing roller skates, would not leave AJ enough money to pay Burn Me A Toasted Sandwich, Fly Me To The Moon, My Pants Are A Warzone, Banana Helmet Fiasco, and all the other shit metal core bands their money?"
