SNEAKY SOUND SYSTEM – BBQ BEATS SHOW -
BRISBANE 1 JANUARY

Regrettably Sneaky Sound System was unable to perform as scheduled at the BBQ Beats event in Brisbane yesterday, 1 January 2009.

Unfortunately the band was caught in extended traffic delays travelling from their previous performance to the airport and missed the last flight that would have landed them in Brisbane on time for their performance.

Sneaky Sound System sincerely apologises for their inability to make the show and promises to make it up to all those who were hoping to see them.
