Raveonettes stuck in Denmark?
Our friends at Austinist alerted us to a posting on the band’s MySpace:
VERY BAD NEWS!!! Due to the bidding on the 2016 Olympics, Copenhagen has transformed itself into a celebrity hot-spot. This, unfortunately means that our drummer and bass player has not been able to get an appointment at the American Embassy in Copenhagen cause the embassy is busy dealing with Obama, Oprah, etc…
We are forced to cancel our Austin City Limits performance and our pre-show at The Parish. We’re so incredibly sorry but I’m afraid celebrities and sports are more important to some people …..
We’ll post more information as it becomes available. (The band was schedule to play Saturday at the fest and tonight at the Parish.)

A bummer, but it seems a bit of a cop-out for them to blame the recent Olympics hoopla for preventing them getting the visa. They’ve known for months that they’d be playing ACL and would need their Visa’s; why did they wait until the last minute?
