Gypsy Pistoleros Part Way With Bassist

December 5

The Gypsy Pistoleros have parted ways with their bass player Angel Pistolero and canceled the remaining dates on the bands current US Tour with Dirty Penny. The Gypsy Pistoleros are now searching for a replacement bassist.

In a statement the band said "Auditions have begun! Apologies to all of our U.S fans, we had to cut short the Tour due to Aarron Dewhurst walking out on the band in the middle of the night before the Maximedia concert! The tour was ill put together, venues double booked, transport non functional but saved by our fantastic friends & followers in the U.S, who helped in every way possible!!!

"Despite ridiculous venues, etc, failed promises, no money, etc  the Pistoleros refused to give up on the Tour and decided to play for those that had taken the trouble to come (many miles in a lot of cases). Angel Pistolero sneaked out on the band in the middle of the night ( taking merch money with him after not contributing a penny to the tour because he said he had to be with his girlfriend ) before the Maximedia gig (Iggies' [Gypsy Pistoleros Guitarist] birthday)! We appeared onstage with Dirty Penny to sing Anarchy in the U.K for those that had turned up to see us!

"From now on all U.S bookings will be handled by Mark Blainey -Factory Music mark @factorymusic.co.uk

"Auditions will begin in two weeks, please contact if you would like to be considered through our myspace page! [here]

"'Para Siempre' the debut album, produced by Joe Gibb is released on BAD REPUTATION Records early next year !!

"'The Road to Rocklahoma' U.K & European Tour will begin in March through to April featuring Gypsy Pistoleros & Dirty Penny +S.E.X Department.

"The tour will then come to the U.S culminating in a triumphant return to Rocklahoma 2008!"

Dates affected by the cancellation include:

Dec 13th, Club Redblood, Dallas, Texas
Dec 14th, 1974 Bar, Tulsa, Oklahoma
Dec 15th, Rock Star Bar, Fort Worth, Texas ( Farewell fiesta )
