Death from Above 1979 postpones this week’s San Antonio show

Dance-rock duo Death From Above 1979 said in a Tuesday afternoon Instagram post that it’s pushing back several tour dates, including this Saturday’s show at the Paper Tiger.

The sudden postponement affects Wednesday’s show in Denver as well as performances Thursday in Dallas, Friday in Austin and Sunday in Houston.

“It is with tremendous disappointment that we announce the postponement of the following dates due to a sudden family emergency,” the announcement read.

“We’ve been having a great time on tour and will do everything we can to make it up to you,” the message continued. “Tickets will be honoured for a future date.” The post encouraged would-be concertgoers to contact Paper Tiger for more information.

Death from Above 1979 consists of bassist Jesse Keeler and drummer-vocalist Sebastien Grainger.

“In the balance, family is heavier than Rock’n’Roll. We ❤️ you,” the message from the duo concluded.
