The Cream has been privy to some astounding news this morning regarding a certain celibate English singer and a local record store. The annual Alliance of Independent Music Stores (AIMS) convention--starting Feb. 24--is going to be hosted by Grimey's and taking place in Nashville. The event is closed to the public, but will include a series of shows at The Basement. One of which was going to be a secret Morrissey show (to take place Feb. 25). I shit you not. I also regret to inform you that the secret is out BECAUSE the show has been scrapped.
The Cream caught wind of the rumor yesterday and have now been informed, by an unnamed source within the Grimey's camp, that the promoter's "fiscal scenario has mandated a cancellation." Lost Highway Records has a "developing" artist or two that they wanted to get on AIMS shows and their quid pro quo was to offer the services of a marquee artist on their roster. Morrissey begins a tour on Feb. 28 in Boca Raton, so it seemed like everything was gonna work out. It's not.
