“It is with great regret that EinstÃ¼rzende Neubauten announce the cancellation of their planned thirtieth anniversary appearances in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto and New York. While the US Department of Homeland Security did issue approvals for the band’s visas, it was not done in time to secure the appointments at the overseas embassies and consulates that represent the necessary final step in the process.”

And thanks to the U.S. government, EinstÃ¼rzende Neubauten‘s 30th anniversary U.S. tour has been canceled, with the band confirming there are no plans to reschedule (via Brooklyn Vegan). You’re on our not cool list, Homeland Security.
