NEWS: IT'S A PARTY IN THE DPRK

Tom has not joined another band in at least 6 months (a new record for him) and as such, has been experiencing withdrawal symptoms, so to help him out, we made use of cutting-edge (circa 2003) AI technology to find him another group to join. We got as far as "left-wing politics" and "k-pop" when suddenly, two soldiers in uniforms with red stars on turned up at the compound and whisked him away. Yes, the group Tom has joined is the DPRK.

We're working on getting him back, but tell you what; they're a tricky bunch to negotiate with. There's no "I'll support you at this gig, if we can headline at this gig" terms with these chaps!

In the meantime, the show must go on. His replacement will be announced soon...
