Scuba Dice Break A Leg, Underground Postponed

News this lunchtime that this weekend’s Underground, which was supposed to feature Scuba Dice, Teratoria and Jaded Aces has been cancelled as Scuba Dice’s Joe has broken his leg. I doubt performing on crutches is an option.

Organisers are set to announce the next Underground event shortly and promise to “make it a big one for not having one this week”.

Best of luck to Joe with the recovery, see this forum thread for more.
