Mike Luce, drummer van de Amerikaanse band Drowning Pool, is opnieuw de toegang geweigerd aan de Canadese grens.
"As you all know, we were once again denied entrance into Canada. We feel like the trouble makers who aren't invited to the big party. It's tough to shake a bad reputation, I guess."
In mei van dit jaar mocht Drowning Pool ook al niet het land in. De reden tot weigering bleek een 'probleempje' te zijn uit het verleden van Mike Luce. De drummer verklaarde ooit te zijn veroordeeld wegens rijden onder invloed:
"I had had, myself back in the past, a DWI (driving while intoxicated), so I had to get that taken care of and once it was finally done, it was all good. Here in America, you know, for whatever reason, that's considered a misdemeanor, but there, it's a felony, and once it was all finally figured out, then we were like, okay, we were able to take care of what it was and put everything back on track."
De problemen die steeds meer bands ondervinden aan de Amerikaanse en Canadese grenzen werd onlangs beschreven in dit bericht op Slagwerkwereld.
