hi Ryan

sorry but we declined because we hate this band, we just can't take them seriously and they totally suck with their promo photos, booking agent, tourbus, major record company and all that crap we feel too much far from. Sorry to disappoint you but fortunately we don't need these kind of offers to tour the US
!!

all the best

Geoff Rickly replies on the Thursday fan site, Thursdizzle.net:

DIY is and has been alive in the US for a long time... I think a lot of the ethics of DIY are great(and I've been involved in that scene in many aspects for years[thanks lost in Paris]- as a promoter of house shows, putting out indie records, playing in bands that play DIY, community based shows and working to help establish a DIY network [allagesmovementproject]) and a lot of the people who espouse them are sincere. And a lot of the people that preach DIY just want to look cool and self-righteous. Great. Just what the world needs.

Thursday has been touring for ten years and played all over the world. We've had people help us, we've employed our friends, payed for their healthcare, made tons of music and art. It's been a full time job and we've loved it. If we had stayed diy and done it all, we would have done 1/2 the touring or less... How many chances have you had to see daitro???

I could also learn to make my own clothes and build my own house but I don't. Neither do most people. When you break it down we all choose what we want to make. Thursday chose music over business as a job.

Uh Where in the replies

neat

um?

bahahaha

I hate that kind of DIY attitude. If you have an opportunity, why not take it? It's only for the better. Unless they're concerned about losing they're 300 hometown "DIY 'til I die" fanbois. Sucks, cause they're a good band and I'd like to see them.

Daitro is terrible.

I pick Geoff.

Never heard of Daitro but they sound like complete assholes.

Thank you Daitro, this country is full in that department so plz stay the fuck out.

Wow, daitro made the smartest decision of their career.

False. Daitro is great...but this is some elitist low down BS. When I heard about the Thursday/Envy split, I was stoked! I hope that split introduced my love of Envy to fans of Thursday...this tour could have done the same for Daitro...

Too cool to make new fans? Nice.

Lol. "They totally suck with their promo photos."

Epitaph is considered a Major Label now?
