From the Majestic:

“We regret to inform you that tomorrow’s LEE “SCRATCH” PERRY show at the Majestic has been POSTPONED until Monday, August 25th, due to a family emergency. Lee and his wife had to unexpectedly board a plane to Zurich yesterday and will be unable to make it back to the states for their scheduled Madison show.

We are as disappointed as you are, and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Tickets purchased for Wendesday’s show will be honored on August 25th. If you purchased your ticket with a credit card and would like a refund, please email refunds2008@majesticmadison.com with the name on the credit card used and the number of tickets you purchased and your card will be automatically refunded. If you purchased your ticket with cash at the Majestic box office, or one of our ticket outlets, refunds will be available at the point of purchase.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience, and we hope to see you on August 25th.”

I guess one month isn’t too long to wait. What can you do to pass the time until then? Perhaps watch this Andrew W.K. interview with Lee on Pitchfork.tv. All isn’t lost, you can still catch Haley Bonar & The Dodos at the UW Terrace for free.
