The Catalan band Crisix has asked his fans for help after suffering the devastating blow of being unable to perform in the United States. They had to cancel all dates there because they had not received artist visas in time that would have allowed them to play.
Crisix They explained it like this: “The United States Immigration Service has slowed down the approval process for our P1 artist visas. It’s a process we’ve been working on for seven months and we’re very sad that despite that amount of time and working with professionals, we couldn’t finish it in time for our US shows. Not only is it an emotional loss as we were looking forward to returning to one of our favorite festivals, FTA Open Air, it was also our first time in Los Angeles and we had organized a very special concert at Puscifer The Store.”.
Igualada residents estimate losses at about $15,000, which they break down by legal fees, paperwork, lost plane tickets and canceled shows. That’s why they asked their fans for help: “We also wanted to reach out to you who have supported us on so many occasions to recover from this situation. We encourage those who would like to purchase our merchandise at shop.crisixband.com or also donate at paypal.me/crisixband to recoup losses and reinvest them into the future to perform these shows, which we promise to reschedule soon as we can. . We are once again sorry for everything that happened and we thank you all for your understanding of the situation.”

“We are deeply sorry to inform all of our friends in the United States that we are forced to cancel all tour dates in the country.
The reason: The United States Immigration Service has slowed down the approval process for our P1 artist visas. It’s a process we’ve been working on for seven months and we’re very sad that despite that amount of time and working with professionals, we couldn’t finish it in time for our US shows. Not only is it an emotional loss because we were looking forward to returning to one of our favorite festivals, FTA Open Air, it was also our first time in Los Angeles and we had organized a very special concert at Puscifer The Store.
Additionally, the financial losses were a hard blow as we can easily record amounts of $15,000 just from legal fees, paperwork, lost plane tickets and canceled shows. This amount of money is a very hard blow for a band like Crisix, which as some of you already know, is a completely self-managed band, something that we really defend and value, but in situations like this the damage is greater because of our disposition via an extremely vulnerable support network. That’s why we would also like to reach out to you, who have supported us on so many occasions to get out of this situation. We encourage those who would like to purchase our merchandise at shop.crisixband.com or also donate at paypal.me/crisixband to recoup losses and reinvest them into the future to perform these shows, which we promise to reschedule soon as we can. . “Again, we regret everything that has happened and thank you all for your understanding of the situation.”
